OK, I’m guilty of sticking a phalange or two in my hot drink to give it a good stir when in a tough bind (i.e. lack of a stirring tool), and it does the trick, hence, I back-up the Finger Coffee wholeheartedly. Especially because it minimizes the awful scalding I usually get from this rather unsanitary practice.
Designed by Li Cheng and Zhang Xun for Newplan Design, the Finger Coffee features a flexible lid that you poke your fingers into and stir! I definitely need to pick up a Finger Coffee for myself.
