Java Consultant Martin Rinehart's Mug

In a Mug	In Cyberspace
Coffee Cold grind a tablespoon of your best beans (electric mills burn the beans) while you heat a mug of filtered spring water. Put the beans into a filter in a cone or basket on top of your mug. Pour when the water reaches a rolling boil. Wait a bit for it to cool and then enjoy. *Café au lait* Start as above, but use French roast beans. While you grind, nuke one-third mug of milk - warm but not hot. In the cone or basket top the ground beans with sugar to taste. (The sugar will disolve when you pour the boiling water - no stirring needed.) This should be the perfect temperature as soon as the water drips through. Enjoy.	I drew a 3-D mug in Design Workshop Pro. Three circles were extruded to form the base, body and cap. Two polyline extrusions create the handle and the cap's lip. The mug was rendered with shadow. I exported 100-pixel and 500-pixel versions of the rendering as .TIF files. Then I used Corel Photo-Paint to convert the .TIFs to paletted, 8-bit graphics. These were exported as .GIFs, setting the background as the transparent color. The 100-pixel mug is always a link to the home page. Big Mug
