The ‘Drip with Song’ concept by Jongmin Kim is a device that lets you enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while listening to your favorite tunes.
Drip with Song is a saucer and CD player combo that features built-in speakers. Here’s the fun part. When a cup is docked in and turned left or right, the cup acts as the volume controller.
Though it’s presently the time of iPods and iPhones and most people opt to digital downloads of music, CD players can’t be counted out of the music mix yet--especially when they are as unique as the Drip with Song.
