Single-Serving Infusers

The Teago by Ram Brews a Beautiful Cup for One

— August 12, 2011 — Lifestyle
The Teago by Ram Industrial Design Inc. would make a delightfully convenient addition to a desktop. Often it isn't economical to boil a full jug of water or fill an entire teapot, for if just one person is drinking it, the rest is only going to go cold.

The streamlined concept for this electronic kettle, infuser and thermos is actually made from a smooth ceramic material. It has all of the clean and sleek aesthetic qualities of a cutting-edge culinary appliance, yet it relies on the tried and true properties of heat-sensitive clay. The inside, however, incorporates a collection of different parts that keep the warmth in and introduce loose leaf flavor throughout the mug. The Teago by Ram even includes a trapdoor at the top of the deep basket so to remove a teabag without lifting the lid.
