4. Draw the cup’s handle. You will draw it at an angle to give it a three dimensional appearance. Draw two “C” shaped lines extending from the cup, roughly parallel and with one smaller than the other. Connect them with a curved line at each end.

Use another curved line to enclose a curved shape at the top of the handle. Give the handle dimension and depth by drawing a long, curved line across the bottom of the handle.

Do you like to drink coffee? Surveys have shown that 83 percent of adults in the United States do so regularly. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, along with water and tea.

Its consumption can be traced to at least the 1400s. Its popularity is due in large part to its caffeine content.

Caffeine is a natural chemical called an alkaloid that makes many people feel invigorated, more energetic, or more awake.

Where does coffee come from? An evergreen plant in native to Africa is the source of the seeds, often called beans, that are roasted and ground.

The grounds are brewed with hot water to produce the dark colored drink we know as coffee.
