Ever wonder what unites most of us, people who lead an active life at the computer? Besides, directly, boxes with microchips under the table. No, this is not the third service pack and not jammed mouse. Oddly enough - all of us (well, or very many) are united by a favorite cup with coffee or tea on the table. Each has its own, unique, inimitable, even if it does not look remarkable. Today I made a small review of the most unusual and geeky, in my opinion, cups for your favorite drink. We'll see?

This cup is the perfect choice for true tea and coffee lovers. As you know, it is very difficult to make the same coffee twice - however, now you have “cheat sheets” at your disposal, with which you can check the coffee by color and after some time develop your favorite recipe.
The deep intent of this creation (according to designer Steve Watson) is that it is beautiful only when both its parts are combined with each other. In describing the cup, Watson says a lot about the concepts of symbiosis, opposites, good and evil, and that his cup does not need saucers - it has its own unique stand.
Forget about the times when the extra space on your desktop was occupied not only by the cup of tea / coffee, but also by the cumbersome plate with various kinds of yummy, which, damn it, you need to constantly clean and wash it after it becomes empty plate). Now the number of the walker to the kitchen will be reduced by half, and the number of plates that need to be washed after nightly gatherings in the internet will generally be reduced to a minimum. And, despite the fact that the creators are positioning the branch in the cup as a “place for cookies”, we know that, if you wish, not only they will get there.
Such a concept, in principle, does not shine with novelty - we take the image of the discarded object, and make something useful from it. Here and pop art and "our NO routine" and just a nice implementation. Such glass "cups" were first created in 1975, and since then enjoy wide popularity. In narrow circles.
These cups enjoyed great success in the famous prison - they did not fight and therefore were practically not popular with prisoners as weapons. I don’t know about the weapon, but it looks like a cup is strong and ready to serve for a long time, and this, anyway, is an important detail.
I myself drink tea with sugar. And when I bring a cup without a saucer to my computer and put it on the table, I have a problem - a spoon. There are two options - either to leave it in a cup, which, as you know, is not particularly decent and gets into the eye; either put it on a table or on an “unnecessary” A4 sheet and leave a stain. With a cup that stirs itself, however, you can forget about these nuances, and enjoy your drink without being distracted by the little things.
Very, as it seems to me, an unusual design decision, has two positive aspects - the cup itself is large and roomy, and, of course, attracts attention. Triple espresso, please!
Behind this cup there is a truly serious concept - pouring water in order to cheer up in the morning, a global picture of climate change on Earth will appear to your surprised look. That's right - the cup reacts to heat, and shows people around what happens to our planet if we continue to abuse its resources. Reason to think? Why not.
This cup, like the previous one, reacts to heat thanks to a special sensitive coating. In the process of tea drinking, the cup changes its color from white to black (or vice versa), and the words ON or OFF appear on its surface - indicating that your drink is coming to an end, and you should put the kettle on.
A real pessimist is simply obliged to make himself such a cup — so that she’s inscription (“this cup is half empty”) reminds him that there is still a lot of good things in life, such as humor;)
