In the States we call it "non-dairy creamer". Or at least, that's what
it says on the packages.

Tighten up the highlight a little and add some angle-dependent
reflection (if you're using MegaPOV) to give the cups that glossy glazed
look you're probably trying for.

The pattern on the wall looks a bit strange, but altogether the image
looks really convincing; the labels really help. You might consider
using radiosity (or lowering the error_bound if you're already using it)
to help bring out the details in some of the shaded areas.
