Details of Materials Cup Body: Crystal-grade high borosilicate glass, featuring high transparency, excellent heat and cold preservation properties, and being resistant to huge instantaneous temperature differences. Edges of the Cup Lid and Main Structure of the Straw: Precision titanium, enhancing durability and aesthetics. Silicone Ring of the Cup Lid and Soft Structure of the Straw: Food-grade silicone rings are safe and environmentally friendly, capable of providing a tight leak-proof seal. Design points that benefit users Double glazing design: 1.With cold effect: Double glass can be insulated and cold, so that users can drink cold mate tea in a certain period of time, and users will not be iced when holding the cup. 2.Inverted gourd shape: Transparent glass allows the shape of the inner layer of inverted gourd to be reflected, inheriting the characteristics of the traditional mate cup shape. The curve in the middle of the gourd also fits the curve of the user's hand holding the cup, and it is not easy to slip. 3.Visualization: The transparent glass allows the user to see the remaining amount of drink and the position of the straw at any time, so that the user can adjust the position of the straw. 4.Easy to clean, no odor, corrosion resistance: the material of the glass is very convenient to clean, and can effectively prevent the cup from being corroded by drinks such as lemonade. Lid design：A circle of metal with vertical lines is added to the lid of the concave and convex mechanism, so that the user can rely on the friction brought by the lines when unscrewing the hemispherical lid to avoid the problem that the hand can not open the lid.At the same time, when drinking mate tea, the shape of the cup cover is removed, and the traditional mate tea cup shape is also fitted. Straw soft part design：A part of soft silicone material is designed in the middle of the straw, which can change the separation of the traditional mate tea cup and the straw, and the compressed shorter straw is stuck in the cup. At the same time, it can also ensure the user's experience with the long straw. Detachable colander design:The detachable colander at the bottom of the straw is designed to facilitate the user to clean and dredge the colander and straw even if it is blocked by tea residue. U-shaped card slot design:U-shaped card slot at the mouth of the…

Thanks to the suggestions you have already provided, our discussion has led to two plans: We continue to adopt the shape of the traditional gourd and use double-layer glass as the material, hoping to achieve the functions of heat preservation and cold locking, as well as being aesthetically pleasing and easy to appreciate. Moreover, it is equipped with a built-in detachable and easy-to-clean straw that can filter tea leaves. Plan One ① Press to Open the Lid: We have designed a snap-on lid. When pressed open, it will take on the form of a second cup. ② U-shaped Card Slot: There is a card slot on the inside of the double-layer glass, which can fix the position of the straw. ③ Straw. ④ The Flexible Part of the Straw: It is convenient to press the straw down when closing the lid so that it can be properly placed inside the cup. When the lid is opened and the pressure is released, the straw will automatically spring up to a height that is convenient for drinking. ⑤ The Part Where the Straw and the Filter are Separated. ⑥ Filter: It can be disassembled for easy cleaning. ⑦ Double-layer Glass: It can keep the temperature (heat or cold) by vacuum insulation. ⑧ Lid: The same glass material is used. The third picture shows the top view when it is opened. Perhaps there will be a soft silicone structure on the edge of the lid, which can achieve better sealing for heat preservation or cold locking when the lid is closed. Plan Two The main differences between Plan One and Plan Two lie in the placement of the straw and the way the lid is opened and closed. In Plan One, the straw is on the side position, while in Plan Two, the straw will be on the middle position. In Plan One, the lid is opened by pressing for drinking, while in Plan Two, it is possible to drink with the lid on. ① Straw: There is also a flexible part. It is convenient to press the straw down to match the height of the cup when closing the lid, and it can also have a suitable height for drinking. ② The Lid of the Straw: It can be rotated and taken off, and then clipped onto the top of the straw for sealing and fixing. ③ Transparent Double-layer Glass. ④ Detachable and Easy-to-clean Filter. Looking forward to your feedback, and we will continue to improve the plans!💖

Design highlight：The straw has been redesigned, the new straw can be removed and cleaned, and the filter is denser, with a teacup with a full filter, it will be better to drink the drink without the straw clogging Use process：Put the tea leaves into the exclusive area, pour in the water, wait for the tea to be filtered, and then put the straw into the tea that has been roughly filtered, and pass the secondary filtration of the straw to better drink the tea

Design highlights：Combine the thermos cup and the water cup together, you only need to carry a container when you go out, and there is a small ring on the outside of the water cup, you can put the straw on it, which is convenient for travel Use process：When using, rotate the cup at the bottom and unscrew it, then pour the water in the thermos cup in, and take off the straw next to it and insert it into the water cup

Design highlights：The traditional container form simplifies the straw into a tea drain, half of which is empty for easy pouring of water, and the other half is a dense hole for easy filtering of tea leaves. Below is the thing to boil the water, and the temperature can be controlled by a knob. The outside of the container is covered with a thermal insulation pad to prevent hot hands and transfer temperature Use process：Take the tea drain off first, then add tea leaves to it, pour water, put the tea drain on again, adjust the knob according to the temperature you want, and wait for the tea to boil.

Dual-opening cup lid: Straight drinking/water pouring/straw hole: When one part is opened, an opening directly leading to the water chamber is exposed, which is convenient for direct drinking, pouring water or inserting a straw. Large-capacity tea strainer: After the other part is opened, a large tea strainer is presented. It is specially designed for placing chimarrão tea leaves, which is convenient for adding and taking out tea leaves. At the same time, it ensures tea-water separation and avoids tea leaves from clogging. Handle design: Equipped with a comfortable handle, making the grip more stable and the use more convenient. Easy to clean: All parts can be disassembled for convenient and thorough cleaning to ensure hygiene. Material: Made of high-quality 304 stainless steel, it has good thermal insulation performance and corrosion resistance, ensuring no deformation or rust after long-term use.

The main body is made of high-quality transparent glass, which not only ensures the durability of the product but also can clearly display the color of the tea soup, adding to the pleasure of tea tasting. The tea strainer and the cup body are designed in an integrated way. Environmentally friendly and safe materials are selected to ensure the filtering effect and at the same time are convenient for cleaning and maintenance. The cup mouth is specially designed as an inclined plane. This not only makes drinking more smooth and reduces the possibility of liquid splashing, but also increases the overall design aesthetic and makes it a work of art.

The transparent glass can well display the beauty of chimarrão. Gourd Shape: It presents an overall classic gourd silhouette, which is both aesthetically pleasing and rich in cultural connotations. When the lid is closed, the whole teacup presents a complete gourd image; after opening the lid, the teacup can be used as a traditional chimarrão teacup, meeting the needs in different scenarios. Double-layer Structure: Made of double-layer glass material, the inner layer is used to hold the tea water, while the outer layer plays a role in heat insulation, enabling users to enjoy hot tea without burning their hands. The double-layer glass structure effectively reduces heat loss and keeps the temperature of the tea water appropriate. Easy to Clean: The tea strainer at the bottom of the straw can be disassembled for convenient cleaning. Environmentally Friendly Materials: High-quality lead-free glass materials are selected, which are safe and healthy and meet international standards.

The traditional mate tea cup is used to make drinking tea more ceremonial.The addition of tea leaks can again ensure that the effect is consistent with the traditional tea brewing, and at the same time, an additional layer of filtration makes the tea residue drunk less.In addition, the mouth of the cup is made of straw gap, adding water and drinking water do not need to manually dig a channel in the mate tea pile.The inner wall of the cup and the straw are made of titanium material, and the pattern on the outer wall of the cup can be designed according to the specific user's preferences.

As shown in the figure.First step, open the lid, put the mate into the tea glass, and pour in the hot water.The second step, close the lid, turn the whole cup upside down, let the water drown the tea glass, and make tea.Step 3: After a certain amount of time, stand the cup at attention, press the button to open the lid, and enjoy the mate tea with a straw. The cup is designed with a handle, which is more portable, and the sealed cup body is more suitable for outdoor multi-scene use, non-slip cup cover, and it is also a cup cover with heat insulation or cold insulation, so that the user feels more suitable when holding the cup, and it is not easy to slip. The position of cup sleeve can be adjusted by sliding up and down according to user preference.

Aiming at the problem that mate tea residue can not be filtered clean by straw alone, this tea separation tea cup is designed.Separate the tea brewing from the tea drinking, put the mate into the tea brewing bin, pour the appropriate temperature of water, after a certain time, press the button, so that the center valve body is opened, the liquid flows into the tea cup through the leak net. The tea cup can be rotated and separated to drink with a straw. The overall shape of the cup mimics the shape of the Brazilian mate gourd cup, and the middle waist is also more convenient for users to grip.The inner wall of the cup and the straw can be titanium. To address issues mentioned in the customer team's initial post that "smaller thermos cups don't last very long and straws oxidize when consumed with lemon juice. The benefits of titanium cups are mainly reflected in the following aspects: Thermal insulation performance: pure titanium has low thermal conductivity, stronger thermal insulation ability and longer term, making the titanium cup have better thermal insulation performance. Lightweight: Pure titanium thermos cup is lighter than ordinary stainless steel and more comfortable to hold. Antibacterial preservation: Vessels made of titanium have antibacterial function and fresh-keeping ability, which can decompose miscellaneous bacteria and sour taste. Corrosion resistance: titanium metal acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, will not react with some high temperature, strong acid, strong alkaline substances. Safety: Titanium cup 0 precipitation of heavy metals, and common substances will not react, so it can be used to install a variety of drinks, will not smell, but will not have the taste of metal, more safe to use. Color purity: The color of the titanium cup does not add any pigment, completely the color of titanium itself and oxide, different temperatures, the formation of different thickness of oxide film, there are different colors. Durability: A good titanium cup can be used for ten decades, and can hold anything. But again, the price of titanium cups will be more expensive.

Background: On the evening of October 31, we received responses of Team 27 and saw the release of new information. The new post outlines some of the habits and lifestyles of older people in their region of Brazil. But they didn't identify a specific grandfather or grandmother, so we'll talk to them later. But happily, I added their group vinny's wechat, which gives us another way to communicate in the future!😊 Task: Team two share design concepts to Brazil by next Tuesday (Monday, Brazil time), upload one design concept per day, and ask them to give us feedback on Thursday (Wednesday, Brazil time). Requirements: Put words (ideas) and pictures (sketches) together, explain the pictures with words, and show the function, use, use and other information of the designed objects. Think about the interaction between the elderly and the design products and how to benefit from the design, which is reflected in the design concept. Design ideas by drawing or using your own pictures. Try not to use other people or Internet pictures, if there is a quote or reference must be attributed to the source. When making changes, do not directly modify the original post, republish the post to update the modified version. For example, name the new post XXX VERSIONⅡ, XXX VERSION Ⅲ…… Do not put all the team's design concepts in one post, each design concept is a separate post, so that it is easy to view and give feedback.
