Thomas Jefferson, who designed Monticello himself down to the last architectural detail, understood that the objects in your home are not neutral. They reflect who you are, what you value, and how seriously you take the things that matter. He had a dumbwaiter built into his dining room fireplace so wine bottles could be delivered silently without servants overhearing conversations. The man cared deeply about the details of a well-appointed space — and he absolutely would have had strong opinions about what went under his coffee cup.
The Proud 10%er Ceramic Coaster is for the 10% who understand this. The distressed retro microphone crest reads "Proud 10%er — The 10% Still Thinking" in that worn-in, analog radio heritage style that Walton & Johnson listeners will recognize immediately. It sits on your desk, your end table, or your home bar and quietly declares that the person who lives here thinks for themselves — before the first sip, during the conversation, and long after everyone else has moved on to the next thing the algorithm decided was important.
As Jefferson might have written, had he been less focused on architecture and more focused on coaster design: "The care of a man's tabletop is as much a part of his liberty as the care of his republic." (He didn't write that. But he did write extensively about the importance of a well-ordered home, and the principle is sound.) Thick white ceramic, cork-backed, and built to last — this is the coaster that earns its place on the table and stays there.
The coaster protects the desk — the Proud 10%er Round Mouse Pad anchors it. Same vintage W&J crest, same quiet conviction, now on a smooth neoprene surface with a non-slip base that stays put through long work sessions and heated internal debates. And fill the mug that sits on that coaster with Jeffersonian Java — the Founding Flavors roast named for the man who designed Monticello, wrote the Declaration of Independence, and reportedly consumed coffee with the same intensity he brought to everything else. The coaster, the mouse pad, the coffee: a complete desk setup worthy of the 10%.
For those who want to carry the identity beyond the desk, the Proud 10%er Mug is the glossy black ceramic vessel that pairs perfectly with this coaster — same crest, same conviction, now in a format that holds 11oz or 15oz of whatever gets you through the morning. Pair it with Madisonian Morning, the smooth, balanced Founding Flavors roast named for James Madison — the Father of the Constitution and a man who understood that good systems, like good coffee, require careful attention to the details. The mug on the coaster, the coffee in the mug: that's a morning worth having.
