Good idea- and your base ballast is bloody brilliant (excuse my Aussie alliteration).

I have a slightly different problem: my Hyundai has a pop-out, bracket-style cup holder, and I like to use a china mug- but the handle of the mug makes it sit in an angle.

Your method gave me an idea- I used a disposable cup, and cut a slit down one side for the handle. Works a treat, and doesn't even need ballast.

Thanks a heap - my mug is safe and secure; no more wobbly mug and sloppy coffee for me!
