If you want to shoot small products (cup sized like you said) I would go with a dedicated macro or at least a prime lens (fixed focal length).
Prime lenses always have better correction for barrel distortion and vignetting as they dont have to zoom so the manufacturers can just fix correct optics for that focal length.
I would go for something like the 60mm f2.8 macro.

It has a 1:1 magnification meaning you can focus on tiny objects like flys and see all the gross hairs on them and it will also double as a great portrait lens. It is a fast lens meaning its good in low light too.
Did I mention its so sharp it will poke your eyes out too? You will probably find yourself being taking out details on peoples faces as it is so sharp.
I use my 60mm f2.8 macro so much that it goes everywhere with my camera.
