I already have a plain grey ceramic travel cup with a plastic lid and a Leica red dot on the cup that my dealer gave me when I bought my Monochrom. It looks essentially exactly the same as the one shown in this link except for the finish. It even has a Leica part number but I don't know what it is, because the mug is in my office in Adelaide and I am 2000km away. I can report that the mug is slightly problematic; when filled with hot liquid it becomes difficult to hold. It also holds peppermint tea, black tea and other beverages just as effectively as it holds coffee. You'd think Leica would be able to make a better specialist product than that and I suggest that the Nikon coffee cup is definitely a better cup, especially considering the RRP. Marty
