Cups, mugs or whatever you prefer calling them are a popular items for online purchase, judging by the amount of coverage they get on websites such as this. This is a bandwagon I like jumping on, since I am a fan of interesting looking mugs.

My Cuppa is a mug that is supposed to make it easier for you and other people to get the perfect tea or coffee, based on color. In theory, instead of saying “two sugars” or “hold the milk”, you should point out the appropiate color and the designated coffee maker should try to match it as closely as possible.

While the design is interesting, I have a couple of questions. How does sugar figure in this, since it doesn’t influence color? What if you drink herbal tea, which is not dark? For this price, you must like the design a lot to get it, since I doubt it can be any real help.

Coffee drinkers get too much attention, so I’ll call this a tea cup. Tea is healthier, mmkay?

So, it’s a tea cup which tells you if your beverage is hot, cold or in-between, and it’s appropriately called Hot Cold Mug. Why would you need something like this? I, for one, constantly burn my tongue and lips on too hot drinks, so I’ve switched to the other extreme - letting them get too cold. I can’t be bothered to pick the cup up every minute to see if the temperature is right, really…

This is a wee bit too expensive for a cup, but hey, what are friends for if not for giving you gifts you wouldn’t buy for yourself?
