If you constantly burn your tongue and never learn your lesson, you need this magic mug
Skipping Starbucks and its line in the morning initially seemed like a time-saver — until you realize your home coffee maker produces java as hot as lava and you have to wait ten minutes anyway. Isn't this supposed to be the future?
Though multiple temperature-adjusting mugs are out there, a Kickstarter campaign claims that theirs works the fastest and keeps the perfect temperature the longest: meet Thero.
According to the Kickstarter listing, most coffee is poured at 180-200 degrees — ouch. While traditional insulated mugs keep coffee at this temperature for hours, Thero is made of a fancy phase change material that apparently absorbs the extra heat in two minutes, stops this process at the "perfect" temperature of 140 degrees, and keeps it that way for five to six hours. Because getting to the bottom of your cup and sipping cold coffee is not delicious.
You're not the only one who consistently burns your tongue on too-hot coffee — the Kickstarter project has far surpassed its goal. Back the campaign, get the early bird prices, and save your tongue here.
