The Self-Stirring Cup Signals the Potential End of the Teaspoon

So what happens when the glass is near full, you give it a swirl and cover your hand in boiling tea? Is a spoon really that hard to use?

Sunday Supper: Citrus-Braised Lamb Shanks

I cooked this for my girlfriend (now wife) on Valentines Day last year. It went down a treat!

It's really nice to have a lamb shank recipe that has such a light tasty sauce with it - it can be very dark and heavy done the more traditional way.

Even if you don't need a spoon to stir anymore, the teaspoon is still just perfect for measuring loose tea.

I love the idea from the website of "creating a new gestural appeal".

Sometimes I try to create new gestural appeals, too.

Usually nobody has a clue as to what I am doing except maybe they think I'm going spastic.

This is sort of heartbreaking. I love the ritual of stirring my coffee or tea. And how sad would it be if TS Elliot's line "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons" became obsolete?

This is the sort of product that info-mercials were made for. Imagine the delight that a good director and copywriter could create around it!

If it were me, I'd create a disco-dancing scene where everyone was drinking from the cup. No spoons! Woooooohoooooo! Dance the night away. With your CeramicFormix. Life is a breeze.

But what happens when you get to the very last of the tea in the cup? You'll have to choose between drinking that last bit and possibly swallowing the stirrer, pulling out the stirrer with your fingers (or a spoon, rendering the cup useless), or missing out on that last bit of tea. I don't want to think that hard about my tea. I think I'll stick to the spoon.

You know, it took me a good year or so to learn how to properly use a spoon (no shoveling, spooning my soup from front to back, etc, stirring without splashing). Admittedly I was quite young at the time, but come on - hard earned skills, people! I'm not giving them up for some stinking ceramic teacup.

I don't think so. Instead of rendering the teaspoon useless, this cup proves itself to impractical. As Coupey said, is a spoon really that hard to use? ANd how long before some yokel chokes on the agitator ball and sues the company right out of business anyway?
