    Hmmm... so, could you fill this with hot water to charge up the PCM then empty and put in your coffee? I already pre-heat my coffee cups, but they do chill a bit fast.

    Isn't this the same institute that invented the MP3?

    Seems like a good idea at first, but just wait until all coffee gets distributed as lossy diluted dreck, and the only way coffee makers can make any money is putting on shows and selling t-shirts while coffee lovers the world over download compressed versions of the beverage for free.

    Hehe, I think it's great how they call it "Phase Change Material" or PCM, when it could just as accurately be described as "Stuff That Melts".

    Ok, I'd be willing to pay money for this, no doubt. But dammit I just know before this gets to market some stupid ass advisor is gonna say "let's figure out how to paint or cover it...I don't like the whole high tech stuff" and I will subsequently punch him in the face for ruining such a fine piece of coffee accesory.

    The only way I manage to be able to drink coffee that is still even passably warm is one of those electric mug coasters, one of which is sitting on my desk keeping my french roast ready for me. I can use any mug I want (so long as its ceramic). This product only works for 30 minutes and it doesnt even have an Apple logo on the side. Coffee mugs are an important form of self expression too.

    There's a catch lurking here somewhere...

    I'm thinking cost of materials or toxicity or some other thing, but we'll see.

    I've seen this comment come up on the internet many times, but it is the first time I can whole-heartedly say: "do want".

    Is the liquid's surface tension enough to keep it from floating away? Also, for this to work, the liquid couldn't pool, it'd have to be all surface, so it would always feel like you're drinking an almost empty cup of coffee. Wonder if NASA would let them test it. It seems iffy, but it'd be cool if it actually worked.

    Neat, but I don't see how this is supposed to deal with the two major problems with coffee:


    1. It tastes like coffee.
    2. It smells like coffee.

    @Purple Dave: lol. So you're one of them, eh? My 4-year-old, on the other hand, LOOOOOVES the smell of coffee - regular joe from home or mocha from Starbucks...makes no difference to her. She'd probably hate the way it tastes but our little addict-in-training won't get a chance to find out for quite a few years 'cause what're we, stupid? If she gets into flight school though she can drink whatever she wants.
