With the addition of a new baby in my household I've been getting to know Joe pretty well. I also haven't had much time to prepare for this challenge, despite looking forward to it for a while. My wife loves to cook and I had some good ideas about what to shoot.
Still, here is my last minute entry. I hope it's enough for a chuckle anyway.
Some interesting facts about coffee.

Beautiful lighting and color. There is a little tension in the composition with the cup handle on the bottom and the cup edge at the bottom and top of the photo. A tiny bit more dof would have been my preference but this works as it is.
My favourite pictures in this series seem to be the ones that actually make me anticipate the food or drink; looking at this I can smell the beans and now fancy a coffee! I think the orange contrasting colour works really well too.
I went to a high school that had brown & orange as it's colors. I had to wear those awful colors for cross country & track meets. They actually seem to please my eye here.
Pleasing colors and focus. I think you could have improved the impact of the image by positioning and cropping the image to be a bit more balanced. The circle of the cup is good, but the clipped handle is a bummer. Positioned so the handle is in and balanced along with the saucer being positioned in the frame similarly on all four corners would have made this a stronger image. Now to go refill my cup. ;)
