The molecules in the coffee are constantly changing and rearranging themselves. That change is a physical manifestation itself.

So time is a perspective in the same way that thinking of a cup of coffee as an object is a perspective. Both exist as something that can be observed in reality, and you're the one that clumps several billions of observed phenomena (changing molecules) into something observed (either a cup, or a second, depending on what you fixate upon).
