1. On/Off Mug

This apparently ordinary mug is not at all ordinary. Created with heat sensitive pigment, at first glance the On/Off Mug ($27.00), looks like a standard black mug with big white letters that say “OFF”. Nothing extravagant, but once you add the hot beverage of your choice, the mug changes color to white and in big black letters it states: “ON”. and when half filled – you can see as pictured.

2. Brugo Self-Cooling Coffee Mug

Now This mug comes with a “Temperature Control Chamber” at the top which measures out a drinkable portion of coffee, and cools it down to 150-170°F., which they say provides optimum taste at a comfortable temperature.The lid has three settings: “Tip and Cool”, which allows you to drink using the Temperature Control Chamber, “Sip” which bypasses the Chamber allowing to drink like a normal cup, and “Lock”, which closes the cup. Wow! Now Isn’t that fascinating?

3. Zero Gravity Coffee Cup

Oddly enough, the On-orbit mug is the second design that I have seen for a space coffee cup, the first was by Daniel Pettit, but this one has a special designer touch. You see, coffee, like all other liquids is a little tougher to drink in zero gravity, hence the intricacy of the design which uses surface tension from the narrow bottom and a deep groove to allow the space traveler to enjoy a cup of Joe just as he or she would do on Earth. Kudos to Travis Baldwin for such a sweet design.

4. Lockable Coffee Cup

Well I found this to be weird because you have a coffee cup which has a lock and key. Can you believe it? I would not want to drink a cup of coffee from somebody else’s cup so if somebody tries drinking from my cup, I would be able to lock it.

5. Drink Selector Mug

They are coffee mugs, so let’s figure out how to get to their mug handles. Aha! Oh, yes,the Mug Pie is definitely a set of coffee (okay “beverage”) mugs… and even more elegant in part than it is in toto. These 12 ounce mugs are totally unique, even stunning!

10. Equal Measure Cup

View your measurements in a surprising new light – next time you make brownies, use a tyrannosaur’s brain of flour, or sugar equal to the water in a cumulus cloud the size of a bus. The Equal Measure Cup ($11.49) is half measuring cup, half laboratory beaker, and all fun.
