Coffee first, soundtrack second: the morning starts on the beat.

Neon Coffee Notes puts a steaming cup and a handful of drifting music notes on a retro coffee mug, made for people who can't get going without a fresh brew and a good playlist. It brings a burst of 80s sunset color to the desk, the home studio or the kitchen counter.

The design: a coffee break set to an 80s sunset

At the center sits an azure coffee cup on its saucer, filled to the brim with dark coffee, with a magenta double eighth note printed on its side. Ribbons of steam curl up out of the cup, and two more notes, one gold and one magenta, float beside them as if the coffee itself were humming a tune.

Behind the cup, a round sunset glows in bands of magenta, tangerine and gold over a thin gray grid crossed by fast horizontal lines. A jagged lightning bolt cracks at the upper right and a small starburst pops at the left. Below it all, two words of slanted italic capitals in a gold-to-tangerine gradient, edged in magenta and trailed by speed lines, ride on a bright swoosh.

It is 80s synthwave styling through and through, all sunset brights and crisp dark outlines on white. The badge treats your morning coffee the way a good intro treats a song: something worth turning up.

A white canvas for the sunset, a bright flash inside

• White ceramic retro coffee mug, so the sunset bands and the dark outlines of the badge stay easy to see
• Your chosen accent color lines the inside and covers the rim and handle, a bright flash each time you look into the cup
• Two prints, one per side, so the whole badge is on show for a left-handed or right-handed sipper
• Nothing is printed until you check out, so each mug is made for its own order

Who it's for

Musicians who rehearse with a mug balanced on the amp, producers who mix late into the night, music teachers, playlist curators and anyone whose routine is coffee plus headphones. It suits a home studio shelf, a desk between the speakers or the breakfast table on a lazy Saturday. It also works as a birthday present, a first-recital gift or a mug for a new-job desk.

Quick answers

Does the art show a particular instrument or style of music?

No. There is no instrument, record or band in the picture, only coffee, notes, steam and a retro sun, so it suits whatever someone listens to, from classical practice to dance playlists.

How much does each size hold?

Choose 11 oz for an everyday coffee, or 15 oz, nearly an inch taller, to sip through a whole album. The larger size comes in a shorter list of accent shades, and the options show which ones as you choose.

Is the print visible from every angle?

Each side carries a full copy of the badge. Look at the mug head-on, handle hidden behind it, and you see only slivers of the art at the left and right edges with white between them.

Which accent color suits the sunset best?

That's your call, because the print itself stays the same on every option. A warm accent echoes the sunset bands, while a cooler one picks up the cup and the steam.
