Coffee Cup Card Readers Hold Memory, Not Liquid

coffee_cup_memory_card_readers

While most computers these days have at least some sort of memory card reader built in, you may still occasionally find yourself in possession of a card your machine can’t read. That’s why there’s still a market for those add-on multi-card readers. But one thing the almost all have in…

Virus Stay Warm Suits Keep You Toasty with Recycled Coffee Beans

virus_stay_warm_suits

I’m all for green alternatives. Not green as in “envy” or green as in “cold hard cash,” but green as in “environmentally friendly.” The suits below are from Virus’ Stay Warm line and they’re as green as green can get: making use of recycled coffee beans to add an extra…

Japanese Vending Machine Makes a Face in Your Cappuccino

yojiya_cafe_coffee_vending_machine

If there’s one thing that’s for certain, it’s that the Japanese love their wacky vending machines. Whether they’re doling out bananas, crabs or making ice cream sundaes, they always seem to have a trick up their sleeves. But this machine just makes hot beverages like tea and coffee. So what’s…

AT-AT Imperial Walker: Starbucks Edition

starbucks_at_at

I am not a coffee drinker, but I have been into Starbucks on more than a few occasions with my wife. The drinks and sweets that place sells are so overpriced it’s not even funny. But regardless of how I feel about Starbucks, I really like this thing – it’s…

The Best Part of Waking Up, The Dark Side in Your Cup

star_wars_beverages

I am a huge ThinkGeek fan thanks to all the geeky cool stuff they have. My favorite thing ever is the Starship Enterprise pizza wheel. I actually own that, and each time I cut a pizza, I force the kids to hum the theme song. One of the latest sci-fi…

Black Luk Coffee Maker Concept: Function Follows Form

I hate coffee. There is nothing redeeming about it in my book. It smells bad, tastes really bad, and stains things. The only time I have had any fun with coffee was the time I convinced my son coffee beans tasted like peanuts and he ate a bean. I know…

Pipe Mug Warps Your Thirst Away

pipe mug fangamer

Just about the only plumbing-related object in the Mario universe, Fangamer pays tribute to the humble green pipe with this awesome mug. It won’t take you anywhere, nor does it have a Piranha Plant inside, but it does have a retro pixelated graphic.…

The Self-Stirring Mug: Pure Genius

thinkgeek self stirring mug

I’ve been off sugar for the second year in a row, but I can still remember how my mom used to chastise me for making lots of noise in the mornings when I stirred my tea when I was growing up. Spoons? That’s so 20th century! Get into the new…

Rubik’s Cube Mug is Totally Unsolveable

rubiks_cube_coffee_mug

No matter how hard I try, I can’t figure out how to turn the sides on this Rubik’s Cube. Maybe it’s the ceramic handle sticking out of the side of it, or maybe it’s the giant hole in the yellow side.…

Get a Bob-omb Inspired Mug for an Explosive Cup of Coffee

Okay, so that’s exaggerating things a little because coffee in a pretty fine mug can’t very well be explosive in the figurative sense of the word if you don’t know how to brew really good coffee. In the occasion that you do, you can pour it into this quirky looking…
