A Twist on the Teacup

teacup_00

I’ll take tea over coffee any day, especially if it’s served up in something as sexy as the Gourd Teacup. Named for its curvaceous form, it’s not only aesthetically appealing – the dual-chambered design is perfectly functional for easy steeping and straining leaves.

The bottom reservoir simply holds water while the top serves as a nesting place for an adapted hopper that can be filled with leaves and easily removed when you’re tea is ready. The double-layered glass and topper insulate your tea to keep it hot while simultaneously keeping your hands from burning! Do want!

Make it, take it, and keep it hot… or cold!

No more burnt tongues, and no more cold coffee! The Ember Mug enhances the enjoyment of eating and drinking, by giving people precise temperature control for beverages.

The design redefine take-it-to-go culture by utilizing smart tech and an minimalistic interface. Rotating the bottom dial adjusts the temperature and reveals a hidden display of the target temperature. The lid allows drinking from any side to avoid spills, and is sealed with a simple push-push mechanism. Integrated charging contact points on the bottom enable charging through an elegant coaster. This means you can make it hot, take it hot, and keep it hot (or cold!). Better yet, you can control the mug remotely by adjusting the temperature through a smartphone app!

Designers: Eric Fields & Martin Gschwandtl

Upright Cupright!

campingcup

The Camping Cup is one innovation step short of levitating in mid-air. Its ingenious design allows it to perch itself on any surface, no matter how uneven, and still stay upright! A bag filled with ball-bearings at the bottom allows the cup to settle onto any rugged or slanting surface. The ball-bearings adjust themselves, taking up the necessary shape and forming a flat platform for the cup’s base to rest on. Absolute genius!

The Camping Cup is an honorable mention at the Red Dot Design Awards for the year 2015.

Princess Bride Coffee Cup Helps You Build Resistance to Iocane Powder

I happen to think that one of the greatest movies ever made is The Princess Bride. I’ve seen it approximately 157 times over the years. One of the most memorable scenes is where the Dread Pirate Roberts has to match wits with a Sicilian. The trick was a resistance to iocane powder, leading to the death of the criminal mastermind and Wesley heading off to save Buttercup. If you want to build up a resistance to iocane powder too, you’ll need a drinking vessel, and this is it.

This Princess Bride mug holds 12 ounces of whatever and has Buttercup and Wesley on one side and Buttercup and the Dread Pirate Roberts on the other. Mostly this cup reminds me of how hot Robin Wright was in the movie.

You can get your own cup for $9.99(USD) at ThinkGeek. As you wish.
