For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Have you ever had the experience of picking up a cup after drinking a drink and finding a circle of water stains? If the cup is accidentally placed on the document, it is found that the cup stain has usually seeped into the paper, if it is an important document, it will make people cry without tears. A few years ago, Tigere Chiriga's wife kept nagging about the circles of coffee stains he left all over the house, which inspired this elegant floating mug.

Tigere Chiriga looked all over the market and found that no mug could solve the problem of cup stains in this circle, so he decided to make it himself, but at first he had no clue. He finally designed the floating mug, inspired by the bracket that hung the banana: a pole with a circular curve attached to the base and a bunch of bananas hanging from the hook above. Tigere Chiriga tried to use the same concept to create a prototype of a floating mug by adding a base under the original mug and suspending the mug with a bracket.

Many people mistakenly think that the stain comes from the cold water vapor condensed in the water cup. In fact, the small water droplets formed by the water vapor will condense on the inside of the water cup when the hot coffee is poured. Coffee stains are caused by excessive dumping of the cup while drinking coffee or body shaking while walking, causing the coffee to spill over the rim of the cup.

The body of the floating coffee cup is completely suspended, only by the side handle to connect the lower base, even if the coffee flows down, it will only stay on the cup body or flow to the bottom of the cup body, while the base in contact with the table can still be kept clean. Of course, this design can only handle the situation where there is only a little coffee coming out. If you accidentally knock down the cup, no matter how good the design can not save you, you still have to prepare paper towels!

Tigere Chiriga first introduced the concept of floating mugs on Kickstarter in 2012, raising funds from the masses and commercializing them smoothly. This time, he switched to glass instead of ceramics, increased the size of the cup to 12 ounces, raised money again at Kickstarter, and won a floating mug for $17.

If you are often absent-minded and worried about leaving coffee stains on your desk, paper or paper, this floating mug is definitely the best way to solve your problems. Even if you are a careful and slow drinker who never let coffee drip from the rim of the cup, or you don't care about the coffee stains on the table, the elegant and unique shape and price ratio of this mug is well worth getting a cup.
