# Adorable Portable Mugs The Float Thermos Keeps Your Coffee Just Right and Makes Serving Spill-Free By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/float-thermos References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Float/157537) The annoying feature that many [insulated coffee mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffin-drinkware) share is their tendency to leak. The lovely Float Thermos does not have this problem, mainly because it does not have the same sort of lid. Instead, the smooth and sculptural drink insulator has a cap that fits on tightly, but the liquid is only permitted to enter it through a single tiny tube. Instead of pouring a serving of your beverage out of the container, you dispense it with the press of a button. Simply put your [teacup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup) below the chin-like protrusion of the [anthropomorphic capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moky) and press a black circular button on top to draw the liquid out. Eric Pautz's Float Thermos offers a more reliable way to tote your tea and a mess-free means of pouring it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Leak-free Drink Containers:** Opportunity to develop drink containers that eliminate the problem of leaks. - **Single-tube Dispensing Mechanism:** Opportunity to create innovative dispensing mechanisms that allow beverages to be dispensed through a single tube. - **Mess-free Pouring Solutions:** Opportunity to design pourers that provide a mess-free pouring experience for users. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for kitchenware manufacturers to develop leak-free and mess-free drink containers. - **Beverage Packaging:** Opportunity for beverage packaging companies to integrate innovative single-tube dispensing mechanisms in their products. - **Household Appliances:** Opportunity for household appliance manufacturers to create innovative pourers for various types of liquid containers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Temperature-Regulating Coffee Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cauldryn-coffee-pro.md) - [Desk Thermo Tumblers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessi-buri-tumbler.md) - [Smart Temperature Control Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-temperature-control-technology.md) - [Connected Temperature-Controlled Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cera-m14-mug.md) - [Temperature Control Smart Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperature-control-smart-mug.md) - [Sensor-Packed Smart Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextmug.md) - [Designer Glass Coffee Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ember-cold-tumbler.md) - [App-Connected Heated Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cera-smart-mug-2.md) - [Twisting Coffee Brewing Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qterra-craft-travel-brewer.md)
