They credit this success partly to the intrinsic benefits of aluminium and steel, which are the primary materials they use to make their products. Similarly, the Ardagh Group claims that it identifies, controls, measures and reduces its manufacturing processes and impact on the environment.

Instead, Smithers ends up back with Burns, as is inevitable, although getting there takes a few additional twists and turns, resulting in Homer accidentally knocking Burns from his office window, causing him to break a number of bones, and leaving him once again completely dependent on Smithers for meeting his every need.

The coffee cups available on the market can really satisfy all tastes, even the most demanding.

The Italian word for cup, ‘la tazza’, seems to have its origin in the Arabic 'tassah', an ancient traditional glass in the Middle Eastern world in which drinks were customarily served. Arabia, or in any case the world beyond the Mediterranean Sea and the natural borders of Turkey and the Caspian Sea, always comes up when talking about coffee. The Arabica variety is one of the main components of the coffee we all enjoy on our tables today. Since the cups are sold individually and each hand-dipped, you can build a unique set one by one.

Worth to note is that the look of a ceramic cup can vary greatly based on how it is shaped, glazed and what type of ceramic it is. Mocha cups have a long tradition, and the preparation of mocha coffee is different from other coffee drinks. Especially in Turkey or Greece, this preparation is very popular. The mocha is brewed with special beans, which may have a chocolate note, boiled usually with quite a bit of sugar a couple of times in a special mocha pot. Because the coffee grounds stay in the pot during the boiling process and are transferred, cups with a narrow bottom should be chosen. This lets you only lean the cup slightly while drinking, allowing you to enjoy your drink without stirring up the coffee grounds.
