Inspiration
Is it even relevant to ask whether or not you enjoy coffee or tea as a developer? This question offends me, in my opinion. I'm drinking my morning coffee even as I write this. My day begins with tea or coffee. Coffee lifts my spirits at both happy and sad moments. Although I am aware that my body cannot handle too much caffeine, I make an effort to limit my intake. I used to drink my coffee in enormous glasses, but I've switched to tiny cups lately. I drink three little cups of coffee a day. Saying that let's begin with this blog. Happy coffee happy coding. 😉

Adding vapour animation
    <div class="top">
      <div class="vapour">
        <span style="--i:1;"></span>
        <span style="--i:3;"></span>

        <span style="--i:5;"></span>
        <span style="--i:13;"></span>
        <span style="--i:20;"></span>
        <span style="--i:6;"></span>
        <span style="--i:7;"></span>
        <span style="--i:10;"></span>
        <span style="--i:8;"></span>
        <span style="--i:17;"></span>
        <span style="--i:11;"></span>
        <span style="--i:12;"></span>

        <span style="--i:19;"></span>
      </div>
      <div class="circle">
        <div class="tea"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="handle"></div>
.vapour {
  position: relative;
  display: flex;
  z-index: 1;
  padding: 0 20px;
}
.vapour span {
  position: relative;
  bottom: 50px;
  display: block;
  margin: 0 2px 50px;
  min-width: 8px;
  height: 120px;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 50%;
  animation: animate 5s linear infinite;
  filter: blur(8px);
  animation-delay: calc(var(--i) * -0.5s);
}
@keyframes animate {
  0% {
    transform: translateY(0) scaleX(1);
    opacity: 0;
  }
  15% {
    opacity: 1;
  }
  50% {
    transform: translateY(-150px) scaleX(5);
  }
  95% {
    opacity: 0;

Your cup of coffee is well made! I tried using ChatGPT to generate it with only HTML and CSS, but that's disappointing:
AI sucks at CSS ART 😅
CSS takes time and some patience. You are almost done with the cup just align the circle properly and it's done.

The screenshot of the coffee cup is the 10th refined prompt, and I had no improvements from ChatGPT
The strip down version of Gooey effect is truly creative! Love it!
Amazing...Learning something new and innovative
Excellent,show!👏👏👏👍
This is so cool!
This is cool!
I drink as much coffee as I can get my hands on maybe I should start using smaller cups so I can design like you!😂
The small cups trick works very well 😅
Bookmarking because that vapour animation is just amazing!!!
Excellent creation !
Commenting to make the stats look good 😅
Awesome post.
I love your post.
cool!
