The Coziest Mug Ever

Posted in: dining

The ToastyMUG is a design that makes you say DUH! The concept focuses on our natural tendency to hold our cold hands close to a coffee mug in order to warm them. The ergonomic, enveloping form of the handle keep the heat in so your both your drink and your hands are kept toasty. Now, tea, coffee and hot chocolate are all that more satisfying!

Vertical Challenge, Accepted!

Posted in: dining, dish, dishes, drink

Raúl Lázaro’s Giraffe Cup is proof that a small change in an otherwise classic design can go a loooong way to spark the imagination. The leggy design is both a cup and an art piece, sure to start conversations. Exotic enough to make a statement, but not so much that it looks like bad Tommy Bahama!

An Expression of Espresso

Posted in: dish, dishware, espresso cup

If it weren’t functional at all, I’d still be in love with the look of the Ois Espresso Cup. But it is. So I do even more. Its fine bone china nestles perfectly into the tropical wood saucer to stabilize the cup so you can move with it…. and what good is coffee if you can’t take it with you?

A Drip-Free World!

Posted in: dining

It’s no secret that the caffeine craving experienced by us coffee lovers is strong enough to risk having a ruined table or smeared papers! But now, that’s a thing of the past! The Drop Rest mug is an ingenious design that catches drips before they make it to the paper or surface of your desk. Capitalizing on the physics of surface tension, a thin groove keeps small, nuisance droplets in place so there’s no need to worry about coffee stains. So simple, it makes you wonder why you didn’t think of it first!

the ultimate diy coffee cup sleeve

Posted in: cheap, chinet, dixie, hot cup, insulated, insulation, solo

I bought some disposable Dixie Insulair® hot cups last night. But cool insulation-themed name aside, they didn't feel insulated (read: blazing hot) with coffee inside. So, I began digging around in the cupboards for a cup cozy or some other cup I could use.

I spied these fire-engine-red Chinet cups, which I picked up a Costco some time back. I put my hot cup of coffee inside. It worked! The ridged walls help to insulate and keep my hands cool. All it needed was a better fit, which was easily accomplished by cutting off the base of the cup.

Any similar cup should probably work, too. Experiment with any large plastic cup that has some sort of texture or ridges in the walls and see what works best.

Coffee Formula

Posted in: Behzad Rashidizadeh

If things had gone right for Behzad then the Pirelli Coffee Mug Concept would have been a flamboyant prized possession of some Formula One Racing fan. However destiny had other plans and the project was shelved. Being a coffee addict and Formula One fan, I just cannot resist not having one of these in my collection. With the modern tools available, I am positive this concept will look sexier in real life than it does on paper right now!
