Perusing the Ethiopian and Kenyan offerings of a number of coffee sites.
OK I've had enough. I will purchase one for myself instead of these crappy old cups here at the office and my decorative souvenir Vienna mug a colleague got me from her trip awhile back.
They are brilliant mugs, look stunning, are solidly well built, sturdy, well balanced (i.e. don't topple over) and the coffee tastes wonderful when you drink it from such a mug.
However, I will advise that you heat the cup (mug) before preparing the coffee.

Ah, do enjoy.
I will be interested to read your reports of this mug when you take delivery of it.
My package contained two different coffees from two different regions and growers/producers in Ethiopia, one shed and one naturally dried in the sun, and one package of seriously good Kenyan coffee.
Thus, I am now sipping a mug (Le Creuset, naturally enough, burnt volcanic orange), of freshly made, freshly roasted, Kenyan AA coffee, with organic brown sugar, and organic full fat raw milk.

That's pretty neat, I'm constantly re-heating coffee. Wow, the 14oz has a ~$50 premium over the 10oz - which size did your order?
Well, it's just a size difference, functionally the same, I didn't mean to imply the one model was a "premium variant", it's just 4oz larger
Some people might prefer to have two smaller cups, etc.
Preparing a blend of Kenyan coffee and two different coffees from Ethiopia, which will be served with organic brown sugar and organic, raw, full fat milk.
My Le Creuset French Press (deep raspberry clouded) was pressed into service this afternoon to prepare the aforementioned coffee - two thirds Ethiopian (comprised of two different Ethiopian coffees, one from Yirgacheffe, one washed and the other naturally sun dried), and one third Kenyan AA, served with organic brown sugar and organic raw, full fat milk.
In about 30 seconds I was able to determine that IHOP uses Royal Cup Coffee (apparently Waffle House does too)
So while there's not an IHOP KC, that company does offer there product in KCs, direct from here:
Royal Cup Coffee
Royal Cup is a major importer and roaster of specialty coffees and fine teas with a nationwide distribution network.
That being said, "Diner Coffee" is its own special thing, and you're not going to reproduce that with a Keurig machine.
Sipping a blend of Kenyan and Ethiopian coffees, in a two thirds (two different Ethiopian coffees), one third (the Kenyan AA) ratio.
