Whatever kind of coffee you make, you still need some water.

e.g. Outside the USA, very few people use cream (or anything pretending to
be cream).

Even when I make a cappucino I need water to make steam.

I think that we have to expect American culture in the message even though
it is supposed to be targeted at an international market unless you opt for
a more generic message.

Anyway, I think the idea of tying the function of the coffee mug to
PostgreSQL concepts has a lot of merit.
