Revised Plans

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!💖

    Hi guys!
    We took a look at your alternatives and loved the results. Regarding them, we make some comments:
    1 – Cup: we prefer alternative 1, but the protrusion at the bottom has to be removed, as we think it makes washing difficult and is unnecessary. Although this protrusion resembles the outer part of the gourd, the inner part is not like that. But we like the curves on the sides.
    2 – Lid: We prefer the shape of the lid of number 1, but with the characteristics of number 2: completely removable, and with just one hole on the side and not in the center.
    3 – Straw: we like the removable part for cleaning, and we also like the flexible part, but we are a little skeptical about how it works.
    4 – We are missing the development of the bottle to complete the kit, how is it progressing?

    Finally, we loved everything! Congratulations and we look forward to seeing the final result.

      Hello, friends!!! We have received your comments and will make corresponding improvements according to your suggestions. However, we don’t quite understand the meaning of item 4. Could you please give us a more detailed explanation?

    Hi!
    As for item 4, we asked in our original briefing to create a tereré kit: with a cup, straw and thermos. We have not seen progress in the development of the bottle, which has previously appeared in one of its sketches. We are waiting!
