The Plug Cup is perfect for those who live alone and don’t like to entertain often or, more likely, for those constantly on the run and who love to indulge in a hot cup of coffee, tea or even water on a minute basis. Just as the name suggest, the Plug Cup actually plugs right into an outlet to heat up its contents.
Designed by Dong Hun Seo, Geun Hyuk Yoo, Ki Sang Yoon and Yune Jae Bang, the Plug Cup boasts a tight lid so as to avoid any dangerous spills that can result when liquid is placed near a power outlet. It also boasts a removable bottom so that the heater and cup can be thoroughly cleaned.
The Plug Cup sports a slick, futuristic look.
