Coffee Mugs - Product Design

I posted some cool tea cups a while back, but I am more of a coffee girl myself so I had to post some more appropriate LOVELY MUGS.

The first helps you mix your favourite brew to just how you like it by matching the colour guide on the inside.

The second is designed for people who share a kitchen at work. The mug has a hole which can only be plugged by the owners unique key; in effect preventing other people from using it.

This sounds kind of anal to me and I probably wouldn't want to be your friend if you bought one. But I understand office life can get pretty hardcore so perhaps it is necessary after all.

Just click above if you want to purchase either of them.

Innovative Tea Cup Designs

I don't usually drink tea. But these cool tea cups could convince me otherwise.

This design from Jonas Trampedach is really smart and helps with the problem of where to put your teabag when you're done with it. Bury it in his teabag coffin.

Angeline Tetrault's teacups reveal hibernating animals hidden in the bottom the more tea you drink. I like the idea of surprising your guests and giving them their own personal animal mug each time they pop round.


My favourite tea related concept probably comes from Bethan Laura Wood. Her series of cups called Stain are designed to improve with every use, as tea staining builds up a pattern on the treated inside of the cup. With the pattern getting stronger the more the cup is used.

Pablo Matteoda has created a novel way to steep your tea that looks really cool. Especially if you happen to be drinking rooboish in a glass cup.

This idea from designer 顏均曲 is a bit twee for me and I did wonder what the fishing rod actually was at first. However if you can avoind it stabbing you in the eye while you're drinking then it looks quite fun.
