“Keep your favorite coffee at the perfect temperature until you’ve had the last drop”

This smart and high-tech mug is ideal for a coffee or tea lover. You can simply control the temperature of your drink at the perfect temperature for as long as you like. It has LED display lights and touchscreen buttons to control temperature. It can be charged on the charging base and the battery holds a charge for about 5 hours. It also includes a coaster that fits into most standard cup holders and is powered with a USB adapter; so, you can easily charge the mug in the car as well. It is convenient, efficient and easy to use anytime, everywhere! 

The innovative technique, practicality, and simplicity of this product give me a lot of design inspirations. Most people do not know exactly what techniques and methods are used to build this smart heating travel mug. However, the concept of this product is a common idea that people can often imagine in their daily lives. It is amazing that the designs of things I’ve imagined were created and are used in reality. 

“Beauty and brains, pleasure and usability – they should go hand in hand.” (Donald A. Norman)

 

This mug delivers not only high-quality tech solutions with great functionality, but also is visually eye-catching and achieves simplicity. Black is a color that both males and females generally like and makes the mug look more attractive and intelligent.

  1. Hi Youngsun,
    What a cool mug, well.. one that keeps your beverage hot. I wonder if the Immersion Circulator that Daniel talked about here (http://sites.uci.edu/in4matx282f18/histories-daniel-lau/) could’ve avoided the frustrating connectivity issues if it had retained just 1 functionality and relied less on the need for Wifi. Or what are design elements from the Mugg that could be applied to revive the immersion circulator?
