The Kug: A Kettle and Mug-in-One

If you’re a fan of all those desktop gadgets like a USB-powered microwave or the Donut Factory, then here’s something that can go very well with it – the Kug, a mug that works like a kettle. Made using 2 cups, one to hold the liquid and consist of the heating filament that can be plugged onto another that is powered through main electricity, the Kug can heat up water just like a kettle and the temperature can even be adjusted too so it can keep your drinks warm. Although it was originally designed for arthritis patients who have difficulties lifting a normal kettle filled with water, it looks like something we could all make use of. It’s even portable, this means that if you’re late for work in the morning, you can still enjoy your breakfast with a nice warm cup of coffee while you’re stuck in the traffic jam. I can just picture a nice hot mug of coffee boiling while the donuts are baking on my desk – all I need is for all these gizmos to be available and I can turn my work desk into a kitchen.
