Without a saucer, you might be inclined to leave your teabag in your boiled water a little longer than you'd like. Ibrahim Guvendikler's Teacup is a quick and convenient solution to removing the loose leaf pouch from your beverage, ensuring that the brew does not become too strong.
His solution was to integrate a supplementary compartment into the design of the typical mug so that you can store the bag within it. This way, you don't have to leave your seat or settle for setting down the soggy sachet on your kitchen table.
Where you would usually find a looped handle, a slender box projects from one side of Ibrahim Guvendikler's Teacup. With an open top, it's the perfect size for accommodating a single infusion pouch.
