January 14, 2021 - Day 5

Prompt: Think of a person and describe his or her personality through writing about a cup they often drink from (real or imagined).


Response: This coffee cup is stainless steel - strong, heat-retaining, tough to damage or break. A muted burgundy red color on the outside with the company name etched out so the letters show in the silver color from the base material. Not bright in color but a deep, warm color reminiscent of the local area school colors. It has a capacity to hold 24oz of liquid, more than your standard coffee cup. It is able to maintain the liquid's temperature for 3-4x longer than the standard coffee cup. It doesn't fit in a standard vehicle cup holder so it sits next to it's owner on the seat...but it's always in the truck on a weekday morning. At times it has week-old coffee remnants after being temporarily misplaced out in the shop on a workbench after an early, frosty morning preparing equipment for the day. It is a hand-wash only cup, usually washed by the owner's wife and left out to air dry. It rarely makes it back in the cupboard but rather is washed and drying on the counter in the evening and being filled again by 6:30am the following morning. Oh, and it only ever holds coffee. This is not a hot tea or hot cocoa mug.
