Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Could fake it with a circular plane for the surface of the coffee, and give it a translucent material.

Yeah i thought about that but how can I make it wavy like water is? Well.. I guess I don't really need the wavy effect if it's still coffee user added image

You can try using a Wave Deformer, or maybe trying using a soft body.

Well do you really need it to be wavy? I mean i'm assuming it's a motionless cup of coffee, so there isn't going to be any 'waves'. My advice would be to just go with the circular plane option and mess with the attributes and the way it reacts to the light.
