Coffee provides warmth both inside and out; the hot liquid warms up your belly, while the hot cup warms up your hands. That's the idea behind the Alfredo coffee cup by Israeli designer Emi Schenkelback, which has to be held with both hands if you want to drink from it.

Made from ceramic and walnut shell, the mug eschews traditional cup design to present you with a cup that you need to wrap your hands around to hold, transferring the most warmth possible right to you. Of course, you can hold almost any mug like that if you want, but do most mugs look this lovely?
