Break-Resistant Cafe Cups

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Silicone Espresso Cups Are Easily Gripped and Hold Heat More Evenly

— January 21, 2014 — Lifestyle
Drinking coffee usually consists of choosing either a delicate design or a plastic travel variety to contain the hot beverage, but the Silicone Espresso Cups looks to make a marriage of the two different design styles. Featuring a porcelain upper that has been hand-dipped, the Silicone Espresso Cups sports a soft silicone lower portion that both prevents breakage and makes gripping it in the morning (when you're half awake) even easier.

Although the Silicone Espresso Cups are formally sized for espresso, those who like to ramp up their caffeine intake on a slow incline could find them to be the perfect size for taking small portions to restrict intake. With that said, they might be too small for those who need a pick-me-up faster than others.
Trend Themes
1. Silicone Dining Ware - Silicone is being used to create break-resistant and easy-to-grip dining ware, providing new opportunities for companies to innovate in the dining sector.
2. Hybrid Design - Products that combine different design styles, such as the Silicone Espresso Cups, are gaining popularity and represent a trend towards hybrid design in consumer goods.
3. Portion Control - As consumers become increasingly health-conscious, dining ware that promotes portion control, like the smaller-sized Silicone Espresso Cups, can provide opportunities for businesses to cater to this trend.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - The kitchenware industry can tap into the demand for break-resistant, easy-to-grip and innovative dining ware made with materials like silicone.
2. Tableware - The tableware industry can explore the trend towards hybrid design and create products that combine different materials and styles to meet evolving consumer preferences.
3. Wellness - The adoption of portion-control dining ware and other devices that promote wellness is on the rise, creating opportunities for companies in the health and wellness industry to create innovative products.
