Free coffee cup SVG files

Steam that stays attached

On most coffee cup files the steam floats above the cup as loose pieces, which have to be placed one at a time. Here each wisp grows out of the coffee or stands on the rim, so cup and steam lift off the mat together. The wisps taper to a point at the top and are about 5 mm wide at their widest when the design is 100 mm tall. In vinyl that is no trouble; in wood, cut at 80 mm or more, or pick the plain mug silhouette or the takeaway cup, which have no steam.

The mugs with a looped handle have one enclosed hole, inside the handle. Remember to weed it, and on a laser check that the handle, about 9 mm thick at full size, is not left too thin after scaling.

Blank sleeves and labels

The takeaway cups have a plain sleeve and the monogram mug has an open front, so you can add your own name, initial or shop name in your cutting software. The sleeve is about 33 mm tall when the cup is 100 mm tall. For a coffee station sign, the row of three cups makes a header and the scattered beans fill the corners.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
