Telescopic Coffee Cup Lip

Keeps it within the cup

Pull the lip of the telescopic takeaway coffee cup.

The cup will add an additional inch or two compensating for the overly eager barista that inadvertently filled your cup beyond the point of street balancing.

Thus avoiding spillage of the contents all over your shirt cuffs, trousers, skirt, (what have you) whilst navigating the streets on your way to wherever.

       god, this is so sexy...   

       oops, I spilt it down my dress...   

       f*ck, that was hot

       God, that was so sexy. The wet dress works well also.

       [flaps] in a wet dress <phew>

       Needs an expanding lid to complete.
xenzag, Jul 26 2007
  

       Yep, the lid needs a re-engineered blowhole.
skinflaps, Jul 26 2007
  

       I love the way that you ignore the sex or was that the blowhole and I missed it?   

       whatever...
po, Jul 26 2007
  

       A sort of inverted, protective coffee-skirt - I like it.   

       I've piloted a hot cup of coffee along, doing the thing with your fingers where you alternate between different digits as the heat gets too much, only to get to the office, and in pushing open the door with my coffee hand (the other one holding a bag or something), squeeze the cup, and watch as a blob of cappuccino froth squirts up out of the little coffee-hole, and onto my tie.

       //I love the way that you ignore the sex// Maybe I need more coffee.

       + oh what the heck, more sex, too...

       I added a link - an illustration of a telescoping telephone pole idea. ....really bad

       I don't like coffee. Would this concept extend to other hot beverages such as Earl Grey tea, Darjeeling tea, or perhaps even Sen Cha?
Jinbish, Jul 31 2007
  

       Nothing wrong with that pic [dentworth] I don't like coffee either [Jin]This was more of an observation when I noticed how these baristas seem to fill the cups to the brim. I purchased a coffee the other day against my better judgement(I'd prefer tea)and proceeded to spill a quarter of the contents through that blowhole all over my skirt, I mean shirt sleeve.

       //all over my skirt//   

       I bet you did that deliberately, you sexy devil.
