Default Roasted Addiction

This image is part of a set taken for a photography course assignment, the subject was open and I immediately thought of coffee, my one true addiction (apart from photography of course).

Roasted Addiction

EXIF
Sony A100 + 50mm F2.8 Macro
1/4sec @ F8, ISO100

I set up a "hack" studio on a desk in my office using a large piece of heavyweight white paper as the backdrop and a desk lamp for lighting. I thought that the CCT of the lamp would work well with the browns of the beans and the off-white colouring of the mug.

I would like feedback on;
- DOF, should it be deeper or shallower?
- Composition, I took several shots and this one is the full frame as taken. Would having more of the mug in the scene work better?
- General. There has been no POST on this shot apart from brightness & contrast in Lightroom. WB was set at time of shot using an Expodisc.

I look forward to your critique.
