You may be in the habit of dumping the rest of your drink down the drain, but the designer of the Steam Mug Humidifier urges you to be more resourceful. Young-Suk Kim had developed a very clever contraption which makes use of unwanted and leftover liquid, putting it towards the improvement of your indoor environment while refusing to let you waste a drop.
The hi-tech cup and saucer comprises a beverage vessel, an illuminated base and a USB hookup. The inside is marked with a gauge that helps you to read the water level, labeled in increments of time. With the volume of water within the cup, the Steam Mug Humidifier reheats it and lets it pass through the handle as steam, providing much-needed moisture for the room in the colder months.
