The early morning light casts a long shadow on a hot cup of coffee - like the patterned table top, the day will soon unfold like ripples from this special, tranquil moment

I TOTALLY agree on the paper cup thing. Most Starbucks have ceramic mugs sitting atop the espresso machines, and if I'm sticking around I usually ask for that instead (don't know why I didn't here). But this is a very "trademark" image. I wish I had the presence of mind to get rid of the clutter on the right side of the image - one of the issues I often have is that I tend to miss things in the framing of the shot that are blaringly obvious in the captured image. In that sense, photography teaches me to see the world around me.
