The design of the Cuppa-Can Insulated Mug is utterly delicious, offering the coffee drinker an efficacious compartment for keeping his beverage warm, all the while inspiring a smile. What we have here is a [double-walled porcelain vessel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperature-control-smart-mug) that's ideal for maintaining the steamy temperature of your brew, but the object has much added value in its appearance.

The shape of the [travel teacup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup) emulates the cylindrical silhouette of the iconic pop can, complete with the slight narrowing at the base and neck. The [silicone lid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinch-hold) of Thabto's playful thermos is a copy of the top of one as well, featuring an embossed aluminum tab and a bean-shaped hole. It's from here that you can slowly sip your beverage from the Cuppa-Can while perhaps confusing your colleagues about your choice of morning libation.
