Agitate Your Coffee

AgitorThe "Agitor" is a new concept in coffee stirring. A button located on the bottom of a cup can be pressed, thus causing the contents to become "agitated".

The system involves a small pocket of space, surrounded by a soft plastic membrane, at the bottom of the cup. The membrane has small holes, allowing the liquid to fill the space. By pressing on the space from the below the cup, it forces the liquid back out of the holes, thus "agitating" the contents.

It's the idea of Creighton Schlebach, who wanted an easier way to keep his coffee stirred during moments when he didn't have any free hands. He says you can use it for other stuff too, like instant soup, chocolate milk, and such.

I suppose we'll be hearing James Bond say, "Agitated, not stirred".

I actually like this idea. There aren't too many times when I'm in the car and have a stirrer stick handy (or that I'd even use it) to stir my drink--I just end up doing the little wine glass circular motion and sloshing hot coffee all over myself.

A company in the UK has started producing a cup like this for the camping market. The product page is www.flejoriginals.com
