I see a TREMENDOUS business opportunity here! We can manufacture, market and sell many left-handed items! Left-hand tooth brushes, water bottles, pillows, frying pans & pots with handles on the left instead of right and OMG! - left-hand glasses, mugs and combs! We'll all be rich, wealthy and ... ah ... make lots of cash too!
Gee, I really hate to disappoint you all, but I downloaded that photo and checked out the image coding. It would appear that some joker put a pic of a regular cup into a photo editor and used the "Flip horizontal" option to create a visual illusion. Here is the real photo . . .
Sad, but true. Mind you, now that this revolutionary idea is out there, Tony P. could be right about its potential value. On the other hand . . .

Oh MY! Glad you caught this Graeme!! Still like the idea of left-hand tooth brushes though!
EUREKA!!! My apologies but I do sometimes get carried away by my own brilliance.
When you invite someone for a cup of coffee and you are unsure of their manual orientation, you provide them with TWO CHAIRS. They can then orient themselves in a suitable manner for convenient drinking.
Of course, there remains another serious problem. How many left-handed coffee drinkers are left with serious burns after lifting the hot coffee jug by its spout? I've got no remedy for that. Sorry.

The obvious solution to all of this is to simply place the table and chairs on a revolving pedestal...like JK does on his "My Take" clips. That way the guest can just sit where it is most handy. If liquor is included (i.e. Spanish Coffee) then an off switch must be built into the centre to avoid falls during egress. This is of course particularly important for ambidextrous individuals. Also, a choice of gears could be built in to the mechanism to increase revolution speed in the event a guest becomes boring or disagreeable and must be discreetly flung aside. We have some of them at the Forumite Think Tank(ed) Lounge.
