Gadget Wednesdays: The Drink Selector Mug
We’re featuring something quite “analog” this week – a mug. but it’s not just any mug, it’s a mug that lets people know what beverage you prefer! Finally, a solution for those people whose assistants get their coffee wrong all the time – the Drink Selector Mug.
Twisting the metal bands reveals your beverage, milk, and sugar preferences. According to the website:
The many options include: Decaf, Mocha, Tea, Latte, Cappuccino, Herb Tea, Hot Coocolate, plus various options for sweeteners and milks to get your morning drink just the way you like it.
The only downside to the Drink Selector Mug is that it costs $24. For a mug!
I bet almost everyone has at least one mug too many – they’re one of the standard gifts in offices. Know how many “spare” mugs I have? 25. I had to donate some of them and reuse others (as pencil holders, plant pots, etc.) It’s up to you if you think the Drink Selector Mug is worth it. It’s a great idea, but I probably won’t pay $24 for it.
Not worth it for me (my coffee is black, all the time) but I think it’s a wildly clever idea.
Personally, I prefer tea (apple cinnamon tea, yum) sometimes with honey. Since I make my own tea, I don’t think I need to spend a little extra to tell myself how I want my tea.
