Very nice start (however, that handle looks very difficult to hold on to).

There are a couple little details you can do to inprove the real appearance of
the object:

-add 'miniscus' to the coffee surface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus) so
it doesn't look flat and lifeless.  This is a slight detail that can be easily
ignored when modelling, but for some reason our brains don't ignore when
looking at it

-make the logo bumpy, like it is painted or screen-printed on.  Have a look at
the technique I have used for this in the past.  It should be easily adaptable
to handle multiple colours.
