Once you've arrived at your office, it's easy enough to fill two separate glasses with different drinks and to sip them according to your own preference and pace; however, if you'd like a pair of beverages during your commute, you'll be wanting the 'It's Up to You' coffee cup.
Only tiny blue and red tabs divulge the duality of the clever thermos; you otherwise cannot tell that there's anything other than the usual single container inside of it. In fact, the 2013 iF Design Award entry has two divided and insulated chambers that are capable of sealing off liquids of contrasting temperatures. Perhaps you'd like to carry your morning coffee and orange juice: just pour them into the 'It's Up to You' travel mug so that the former will remain warm and the latter will stay cool.
