Star Wars-inspired travel thermos + mug celebrates 45 years of Hollywood’s most iconic robotic duo

Posted on by

The year 2022 marks 45 years since Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope appeared on the silver screen, and nearly half a century since George Lucas introduced us to two of the most beloved robots to ever grace pop culture. To celebrate that momentous occasion (along with the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back), Corkcicle debuted an entire collection of Star Wars-inspired barware that’s sure to geek up your kitchen! While the collection spans all of Star Wars’ memorable characters, our eyes instantly fell in love with the C3PO canteen and the R2D2 stainless steel travel cup – two pieces of drinkware that don’t just go together functionally, but they even honor their references in size and proportion!

Both the C3PO canteen and R2D2 travel mug are made from triple-insulated stainless steel, making them perfect to carry hot or cold beverages in and travel with. The insulated design even means you can comfortably hold onto the outer surface without the internal heat or coldness radiating to your skin.

Both the 16oz canteen and 12oz travel mug come with caps that seal your drink shut, keeping them warm or cold for hours at an end. They’re BPA-free, and even sport silicone-lined bases to ensure they don’t slip around or scratch tabletop surfaces by accident. As for the drinkware themselves, they’re made from durable stainless steel with shatterproof lids and finishes/paint-coatings that are scratch-resistant and dishwasher safe… and I know what you’re thinking – No, they’re probably not lightsaber-proof.

Brewing your coffee in this travel thermos is easier than using a Nespresso

As portable as an ordinary Starbucks travel mug, the Qterra Craft is designed to give you coffee so fresh you’ll feel like it was brewed right inside it… and you’d be right! The Qterra Craft is a pretty clever little device, giving you the freshest coffee or tea—even while you’re traveling—by simply brewing it on the spot. The mug comes with a lid that holds tea leaves or coffee grounds in a telescopic Q-Brew Basket that extends downwards into the vessel when the lid is twisted. Fill the vessel with piping hot water and twist the lid just minutes before you actually want your beverage. Then twist the lid when you’re done and the used leaves or grounds ascend back into the lid, secured with an air-tight seal. Effectively, your freshly brewed coffee just requires two twists… but there’s one more twist to come!

If you’ve ever sipped coffee or tea from a travel mug only to realize it’s hotter than the sun and your tongue’s effectively burnt, the Qterra has a solution for that too. Another twist of the mug (just below the lid) reveals Qterra’s Q-Cool cooling system, which rapidly brings down the temperature of your beverage to a drinkable level, and lets you know via a color-changing band. The Q-Temp Ring goes from yellow (burning hot) to black (drinkable) to let you visually assess the right time to drink your beverage.

The design of the Qterra Craft was prompted by the fact that travel mugs don’t solve the fundamental problem with carrying beverages. Sure, travel mugs and thermoses keep your beverage hot and sealed, but after 3-4 hours, a coffee/tea loses its fresh flavor and along with it, the antioxidants that make the beverage useful to your body. Qterra Craft’s simple solution is to actually brew your fresh hot beverage on the spot exactly when you want it. The twist-to-brew system is uniquely intuitive and spill-free, and works with any variety of loose leaf tea or ground coffee. The tumbler portion of the mug holds the hot water, which remains heated thanks to insulated walls, while the lid holds the grounds, separating the two elements until you want to brew your beverage. Twisting the lid allows the upper meshed metal container to telescope down into the water, akin to dipping a tea bag into it, and the brewing immediately begins. Once you’ve timed your brew, a reverse twist ascends the metal container, sealing the brewing ingredients back in the lid.

Once the brewing is done, the Q-Cool system takes the spotlight. Designed to keep you from burning your tongue, Q-Cool’s heat-absorbing PCM (phase change material) rapidly brings the beverage temperature down to a safe 140°F, and keeps it there while you drink. The thermochromic Q-Temp Ring lets you know when your beverage is at the perfect drinking temperature by changing color from yellow to black.

Each Qterra Craft is designed to be travel-safe, leakproof, and with an insulated inner vessel made from stainless steel. The mug lets you brew the coffee or tea of your choice for as long as you want, runs entirely without batteries, and is dishwasher-safe.

The Qterra Craft even comes with Q-Art swappable medallions that let you customize this cutting-edge mug by fixing magnetic artworks onto it, so you can show your personal style every time you lift your mug to drink!

In a BYOB (bring your own bottle) world, the hodi has you prepared for absolutely every eventuality!

Designed to be virtually the Swiss Army Knife of travel mugs, the hodi has a unique two-part design that splits into two separate glasses – one for hot drinks, another for cold drinks. It even comes with an air-tight lid that doubles up as a container for snacks, and has a mesh filter for brewing drinks in. The hodi works with coffee, tea, juices, milkshakes, beer, wine, soft drinks, and potentially even protein drinks, and above all, it’s just as portable as most normal travel mugs.

Click Here to Buy Now: $39 $69 (43% off). Hurry, only 12/240 left!

It all starts with hodi’s unique design that’s reminiscent of the iconic Guinness beer glass. With its curvy, tapered design, hodi ensures that its functional experience translates brilliantly into an aesthetic one too. Carry hodi around and it doesn’t look like an overly engineered thermos, it looks like one of the most iconic beverage glasses ever.

hodi’s mug sports a two-part design – an outer ceramic mug and an inner glass mug – that nest together when you need, and detach when you want two separate glasses. When together, they serve as your universal thermos, keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Separate them and now you’ve got two individual tumblers to drink from – a 16oz ceramic mug, and a 12oz glass mug.

Its multiple parts allow the hodi to be used in a variety of ways and for a variety of drinks. Insert the 12oz inner glass tumbler and you’ve got yourself a nice container for chilled beverages like beer, soft drinks, or even cocktails.

Pop the glass tumbler out when you want to pour hot drinks in and the outer 16oz ceramic mug works wonderfully to keep your hot beverages hot.

Used in either format, you’ll avoid condensation too (so no more wet rings on your table) as well as that weird metal smell/taste most travel mugs have.

Plus, the spill-proof lid comes with two levels of security, ensuring nothing ever leaks through into your bag while you’re carrying the hodi around wherever you go (it’s essentially a travel mug after all).

Aside from the hodi’s familiar design and its dual-tumbler system, it comes with a few other accessories that make it more functional. The lid itself comes with an optional, removable tea filter that lets you infuse/brew beverages right inside your travel mug. The filter’s fine mesh keeps the tea-leaves separate from the drink, so as soon as you pop the lid off, the leaves get strained from the beverage, leaving just the tea or the infused drink behind.

If you’re a tea-and-biscuits kind of person (or cookies and milk – who am I to judge), hodi even has its own container module that snaps to the top of the travel mug, allowing you to carry snacks, sugar, or even supplement powders with you. If you’re on medication, a simple X-shaped divider turns the container into a pill-box too!

The hodi comes in multiple color-ways, although the all-black one stands out as a personal favorite, especially for how it looks like a tall glass of cola or lager. It’s perfectly ergonomic to hold, chuck in your bag, or even dock in your car’s cup-holder, and is ideal for everything from soft drinks to tea, milkshakes, coffee (that 16oz can easily hold your Grande order), beer, or if you’re a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, even water!

Circular Design 101: A coffee cup made from recycled coffee husks!

Posted on by

The Huskeecup is the coffee equivalent of drinking a coconut cocktail out of a coconut… No, seriously! Each Huskeecup is, in fact, made from recycled coffee husks combined with a binding agent and molded into a reusable cup that’s impact-resistant, non-toxic, dishwasher-friendly, and uniquely pleasing to look at or even smell!

An estimate of 600 billion disposable coffee cups are produced worldwide each year, 99.75% of which are dumped in a landfill or the oceans without being recycled. What the Huskeecup does is solve that problem, while also looking at the humble coffee bean as a raw material. The fine folk at Huskee gather coffee husks discarded in the roasting process, and pulverize them before binding them together with a biopolymer and finally forming them into cups. Designed to be reused, the cups can either be purchased by coffee aficionados to use at home, or by cafés to serve coffee to their patrons. The Huskeecups come in a variety of styles and sizes, including an adorable set of 6oz espresso cups with saucers to match, or 8oz and 12oz travel mugs that come with sipper-lids made from the same coffee-husk material.

Apart from being eco-friendly, sustainable, and reusable, the Huskeecups are really designed to pair well with the coffee-drinking ritual. The cups come with a textured outer surface that’s comfortable to hold, while the material itself keeps your coffee hotter for longer. The cups are also far more durable than ones made from ceramic or glass, and are BPA-free and non-toxic, unlike plastic tumblers or plastic-lined paper glasses. Moreover, old cups that are broken or discarded can be repurposed into new ones, creating a closed-loop that ensures each cup has the potential to be recycled without generating waste, so you can drink your coffee guilt-free!
