Good morning. We spent two days with the Nintendo Switch and we have feelings. Amazon is citing the First Amendment in defense of its robot Alexa, and we look forward to transforming into cups and bananas in Bethesda's forthcoming Prey.

I’ll take tea over coffee any day, especially if it’s served up in something as sexy as the Gourd Teacup. Named for its curvaceous form, it’s not only aesthetically appealing – the dual-chambered design is perfectly functional for easy steeping and straining leaves.
The bottom reservoir simply holds water while the top serves as a nesting place for an adapted hopper that can be filled with leaves and easily removed when you’re tea is ready. The double-layered glass and topper insulate your tea to keep it hot while simultaneously keeping your hands from burning! Do want!

No more burnt tongues, and no more cold coffee! The Ember Mug enhances the enjoyment of eating and drinking, by giving people precise temperature control for beverages.
The design redefine take-it-to-go culture by utilizing smart tech and an minimalistic interface. Rotating the bottom dial adjusts the temperature and reveals a hidden display of the target temperature. The lid allows drinking from any side to avoid spills, and is sealed with a simple push-push mechanism. Integrated charging contact points on the bottom enable charging through an elegant coaster. This means you can make it hot, take it hot, and keep it hot (or cold!). Better yet, you can control the mug remotely by adjusting the temperature through a smartphone app!

The Camping Cup is one innovation step short of levitating in mid-air. Its ingenious design allows it to perch itself on any surface, no matter how uneven, and still stay upright! A bag filled with ball-bearings at the bottom allows the cup to settle onto any rugged or slanting surface. The ball-bearings adjust themselves, taking up the necessary shape and forming a flat platform for the cup’s base to rest on. Absolute genius!
The Camping Cup is an honorable mention at the Red Dot Design Awards for the year 2015.

There are smartphones, smartwatches, and smarthomes these days, so why not have a smartcup? That’s exactly what the HeyDo Cup is – an intelligent drinking vessel that helps keep you hydrated and healthy.
The HeyDo Cup can remind you to drink on a regular basis, take your pills, and even monitor exactly how much liquid you’ve consumed. The cup’s LCD touchscreen can tell you how pure the water is, as well as its temperature. It can also tell you the strength of your coffee. It can also integrate with a companion mobile app to send you reminders to hydrate.
The cup has a leakproof magnetic lid, and is lined with BPA-free Tritan copolyester, a plastic certified for use in baby products. Regular price for the HeyDo Cup is $147, but we’ve got it in the Technabob Shop for just $89.
