Coffee lids should have an additional raised opening in the middle in which you can insert your nose while sipping your coffee. This will allow you to enjoy the smell of the coffee which is largely lost when coffee is sealed inside a lidded cup. The raised opening lines up with the nostrils and is
higher than the sipping hole to prevent spillage.

I often wonder what crimes certain
people must've committed in order to
pay the penalty of having to transport
what should be a nice relaxing beverage
on a cross-country hike in the middle of
frenzied crowded rush-hour conditions,
and not be allowed to actually partake
of the ludicrously expensive contents
until they get to the other end of their
daily journey. Sometimes I do see some
of them take the occasional sip in mid-
transport. Very naughty - not allowed -
it's supposed to remain full and get
cold. |

The next step up in penalisation must
be being forced to having to continually
engage in checking and responding to
email in a ridiculously obsessive
manner, no matter where you are. For
this, the sentenced is supplied, for their
crimes, a Blackberry. |

Thank goodness I've been good, and
can ignore email freely by being away
from my desk, casually making
enjoyable coffee. |

Careful attention would need to be paid to the engineering of the aroma vent. But there has to be a better way to drink coffee on the go than sucking it through that tiny opening on the plastic lid. |
|
| |
Maybe you could apply this technology to beer bottles? I find a stein whenever possible, because you just can't taste beer when it's coming through a tiny bottle opening. |
|
| |
Hmm...this makes me wonder about an aroma straw...*puzzle* |
|
| |
[lingamish] - agree abot the //careful attention ...aroma vent//. |
|
| |
I reckon something like two fine-gauze covers and gap between; so that the "smellycules" could get out, but big spheres of agonizingly painful burning coffee would have a harder time escaping through the two gauze traps as you bounced your way the the afore-mentioned [Ian Tindale] frenzied crowded rush-hour conditions. |

How much liquid is required to release aroma? Some cups have recessed areas where the drinking hole is. These allow a small amount of liquid to be exposed to the environment I assume for the purpose of cooling it down. Maybe if these were larger... |
