How many times have you burned your tongue by taking a sip from something too hot? Also, if you are a compulsive blogger like me, you often end up with your hot drink getting too cold and needing a reheat while finishing up a new post.
Trend Hunter favorite Mac Funamizu has another hot concept design up his sleeve that solves this problem: two cups that communicate the temperature of the liquids they contain to you.
The first design is a solid mug that shows the current water level in a color that represents its temperature along with a reading of the exact temperature in numbers.
The second design is a see-through glass that shows a blue circle for cold or red circle for hot beverages in its base.
