Gadget 10: Yecup 365
Throughout the year there are four different seasons that give us completely different weather. It goes from being humid and hot in the summer to snowing and cold in the winter. What doesn’t change throughout the year is the necessity of having something to drink. But, because of the changing weather patterns we tend to alter what beverage we will choose to consume. Continuing the trend from last post, I’m going to talk about a certain cup that is designed to help you throughout the entire year. No matter what you are having and no matter when you are having it, this cup is designed to adjust to your beverage to make it perfect.
This product is called Yecup 365. Clearly just by the name you can tell they are aiming this device to be something to use throughout the year due to the very clear “365” referring to the amount of days in a year. Yecup is a mug that is meant to be taken with you anywhere to hold your desired beverage.
What makes this product so incredible is that it can hold your beverage at a large range of temperatures. Although the exact range is not indicated, it can adjust from settings on the cup to “+10 to +70”. “+10” is supposed to resembled the temperature of water right when it’s taken out of the fridge while “+70” is supposed to resemble the temperature needed to boil water. Although exact temperatures are unknown, it is pretty incredible that the device can go from really cold to boiling warm! The temperature is simply changed through the use of their yecup app. Whether on your phone or smart watch, the app can be downloaded and then you have complete control of your cup.
The fact that the temperature of the cup can change so drastically, the uses of this product are very widespread. You no longer have to worry about your morning coffee going cold throughout the day. You simply set the desired temperature and you can be assured when you reach for your drink it will be the same that is was an hour ago! Also if it’s in the middle of the winter and you want some hot chocolate, you no longer need to worry about using a microwave if you’re not at home. For some reason if you’re carrying some water and a hot chocolate package you can easily combine both into the cup and you’ll have it ready to drink in no time! Another cool use in my mind is with any activity. When you bring a water bottle, after some time (especially in the summer) the water gets to a warm temperature that isn’t too refreshing. With this product, the water will stay refrigerator cold throughout the day and be the perfect temperature when you need something to drink. Also, this product has a lid designed to keep all the liquids in at all times so it can easily be stored in a bag without fear of spillage.
Obviously since this app uses power it needs to be charged. The options are either to plug it into either an outlet or a car, or it can even be wirelessly charged by placing it on a platform. I think that’s pretty neat that you can just be resting it on a table counter and it can easily be picked up, fully charged. And if you’re at home and in a rush to heat or cool a liquid, the device will heat or cool something twice as fast when being charged so that can proved helpful as well!
