 not a fan of mugs (makes us look a little too Lumbergh for our tastes), then you might want to look at this nifty ceramic cup from Stephen Reed. It’s a regular cup with raised ridges running along the longitude, so your fingers are actually insulated from the scalding liquid via air. Clever.</p>
<p>Reed says his inspiration was computer heat sinks, which makes sense, since they use the same principle to cool the chip in your computer. And if it can allow our first-gen dual-G5 to run Google Earth without starting fires, we like it for our morning coffee, too.</p>

I was told that tradition tea cups with no handle were designed so your hand could gauge the temperature of the liquid before you poured the near boiling tea into your mouth.
rather get my hands a bit warm than scortch my tongue.

I hope that the coffee won’t cool of faster that way. I prefer the isolated cups that can hold up to 0.5L
I have been a frequent visitor of this blog for some time now, so I thought it would be a good idea to leave you with my thanks.
