THE FIRM: Tom Cruise is 'just having coffee' when first meeting up with FBI agent Ed Harris at an all-night diner.
WITNESS: Philly cop on the run Harrison Ford is boarding with an Amish family, is poured a cuppa at the breakfast table, and quotes a TV ad to his bewildered hosts who don't watch television:
"Honey, that's GREAT coffee!"
MIDNIGHT RUN: Robert DeNiro wearily flops down in a diner after losing his prisoner Charles Grodin, and the counter man serves him a needed cuppa:
--- Counter Man: "Tough day, sir?"
--- DeNiro: "Tough week!"

Coffee's not only for drinking. It Happened One Night Peter (Gable) instructs heiress Ellie (Colbert) on the fine points of dunking. |

Plaza SuiteKaren Nash (Maureen Stapleton) is taking husband Sam's (Walter Matthau) confession of an affair far too calmly.  SAM: "Will you stop playing aren't-we-civilized? Call me a bastard. Throw the coffee pot at me."KAREN: "Okay, you're a bastard. Do you want cream and sugar?"Never accept a coffee invitation from Lee Marvin. The Big Heat Gloria Graham learns the hard way that he not only offers neither cream nor sugar, he doesn't even use cups.

God damn, Jimmy, this is great. This is serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince here would be happy with some freeze-dried Folgers right, but he goes and whips out the fancy GOURMET shit for us! What flavor is this?

While it's not from a movie, anything 'cup of tea'-related always reminds me of this scene from the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  |

Virginia Christine was a talented actress whose career was overshadowed by her long-running adverts for Folger's coffee. (A brand unknown to me in the UK).  So much so that, when her birth-town (Stanton, Ohio) wished to commemorate her, they reshaped the town's water-tank as a coffee-pot.  |

Surely the locus classicus for "a nice cuppa", the star of so many Brit WWII and post-war austerity movies, is Brief Encounter (1945) dir: David Lean. I would not be surprised if tea-cups are visible in 50% of the scenes in this great movie. Here the unrequited lovers, Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, are too "middle-class English" to do a Lee Marvin on persistent pest Joyce Carey who is destroying their last few precious minutes together.  |

THE LADY VANISHES:
May Whitty looks after Margaret Lockwood by offering to provide her with a "strong cup of tea" -- her own special brand that advertises that "a million Mexicans drink it."
