Unique Jug Thermos by Jorg Boner

This unique jug thermos from designer Jörg Boner falls under the I Want That category.

“Thermos is a coffee pot for people on the move. It carries two cups and is no bigger than fits comfortably into a bag. The elastic band that fixes the cups into place can be transformed into a handle in just one move, turning the thermos bottle into a coffee pot. The way in which it plays with both archetypes is characteristic of the product.”

It’s not unusual for a thermos to incorporate a cup into the cover but this one comes with two, making it the perfect companion to a rooftop coffee session with your significant other.

The product was designed for Nescafé. No word yet on availability or price.

Winestein Beer & Wine Mug

The Winestein Beer & Wine Mug could easily be considered the mullet equivalent of drinkware. It doesn’t really know what it wants to be so it takes advantage of both worlds. Works for me!

“You like sipping wine, but sometimes you’re just more comfortable with a mug in your mitt. Well this double-walled do-it-all lets you have it both ways. Elegant wine stem on the inside, manly beer stein on the outside, it’s a glass for all reasons. So pour yourself a nice measure of vino, grab it with gusto, thoughtfully inhale the bouquet, then toss it back.”

The Winestein Beer & Wine Mug holds 8 oz. and measures 6 inches tall x 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

“If you’re awesome, you know that coffee’s heavenly taste comes from a perfect balance of acids – aliphatic, chlorogenic, and alicyclic carboxylic acids and phenolic acids, and sweet roasted carbohydrates in the form of mono and polysaccharides and sucrose, and alkaloids. Hundreds of different individual chemicals! The combinations of which depend mostly on the roast, skill of the roaster, and even the kind of brewing pot you use.

The bottom line is, your coffee mug is full of chemistry, so why are you sipping your bitter black brew from a simple and boring ceramic mug? Where’s your science, man?”
