In this article I present you the finest icons of the fuel of a lot of designers and students (and other people too) available on the web. I've just released [my own coffee cup icon](/coffee-cup-icon) but this beverage seem to have inspired a lot of other beautiful icons especially for Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
Now just get your next coffee, sit back and enjoy this little showcase. Just click on the images to get to the icon sources. At the end of the article you'll find links to some nice high quality coffee tutorials. And remember you will have more control over time itself if you [reach your 100th cup of coffee](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Hundred_Big_Boys).

## Coffee folders from the Maji sets by Jonas Rask
|
|
|
|
Also Jonas used coffee as the metaphor for the work folder (supposedly) and made clear he likes very big coffee cups.

## Espresso icon by MacRabbit
|
|
|
|
Does this application need any introduction? Although not released yet the new web-coding application from MacRabbit drew a lot of attention. The icon is one of the reasons for that.

## Coffee icons from Office Space icon set by VisualPharm
|
|
|
|
A glass coffee cup which is [wildly used](http://abduzeedo.com/amazing-photoshop-light-effect-10-steps) on the web. Created for Windows so the icons are just 256px in size.

## Coffee Wallpaper by Michael Flarup

## Have A Break icons by mat-u
|
|
|

Nice shiny coffee cups with a lot of detail in the reflections. Sadly just in 128px size maximum. Maybe you can [persuade mat-u to update this icon with bigger sizes.](http://www.mat-u.com/)

## Caffeine icon by Trevor Kay
|
|
|
|
Trevor Kay made the new icon for Caffeine. This application prevents your Mac from automatically going to sleep. Trevor also made [some additional icons for Caffeine](http://God-X.deviantart.com/art/Caffeine-Replacement-Icons-75619389) although the coffee cup looks pretty much the same as the one from Apple's Java application icons.

|
## Coffee and Tea icons by Kate England
