The Automatic Coffee Mug is the ideal gift for the busy executive, the harried secretary or the upwardly mobile middle manager.
The hollow walls of the stainless steel mug are storage compartments for your favourite coffee concentrates, sweeteners and milk/Kahlua/Tia Maria/Whisky/etc.
Just
a quick press on the button at the bottom of the mug and you have the perfect amount of Jamaican Blue Mountain; rotate the cup 60deg and press once for UHT milk; rotate again and two presses for two sugars.
You want tea? The concentrate range offers Yunnan, Earl Grey, Assam, Oolong, Jasmine, English Breakfast, China Blue, Lapsang Souchong, Green, Prince of Wales...
All you have to do then is locate a source of hot water.
Take it with you when travelling. No more stewed, bitter coffee. You want coffee? Have it your way.

For once, an idea was almost exactly what I thought it would be when I read the title. |
|
| |
How long is this thing going to sit around - you know that UHT milk has to be refridgerated after opening? |
|
| |
If the UHT milk was held under light pressure with nitrogen gas then it wouldn't spoil, [Detly]. |
|

This might even make the coffee you get at your auto mechanic's shop palatable - well wishfull thinking anyway. Croissant for the tea option. |
|
| |
Really? I was going to suggest powdered milk, but that stuff is disgusting. Well, anyway, have an automatic croissant. |

Horrible fishbone for the inclusion of the phrase //favourite coffee concentrates//. Making coffee from concentrate or powdered form should be punishable by law. However, if you change the name of the idea to

I'll create a new profile, then vote + to cancel out my -.
Using the hollow space of a coffee mug as a flask for the covert administration of alcohol - I could use one of them things. |

I like... might be difficult to keep the ingredients apart as they are added to the mix though. |

[LT], I see this as having a half dozen compartments.
[xrT], I'm with you on coffee concentrates, but there's no real way to incorporate a grinder, refrigerator, percolator and barista in the cup. And if whisky and liqueurs aren't booze can someone wake me up?
[po], just incorporate a blender blade and a stringpull in the bottom. |

On principle, I don't believe //the busy executive, the harried secretary or the upwardly mobile middle manager// should be rewarded or encouraged in any way. |
|
| |
They should be out hiking or snogging or otherwise doing something useful or fun. |
|
| |
However, since you are none of those previously mentioned things, [UB], I think you should be rewarded. + |

Hey, I'm not busy, harried or even mobile, but I don't get that sort of treatment. |

Sounds like a pretty large wall thickness. If it isn't, it
better be, to get any decent amount of coffee or booze
into it. You could grind your own fresh coffee at home,
fill it into the separate compartments for coffee gorunds
that have an airtight (to preserve flavor) trapdoor system,
but when you release the coffee into the mix, it stays
behind a revealed screen, allowing water infusion, and
keeps the grounds out of the drink. |
