You don't need a spoon anymore

Apr 06, 2008
It's quite an obvious fact that the scientific and technological advance has an enormous influence on our everyday life. Owing to this fact the standard of living permanently increases. As a result some things that we have got accustomed to use are replaced by more efficient and ergonomic ones. Thus, according to the opinion of a group of designers consisting of Florian Dussopt, Jeremie Reneau and Julie Girard it's time to stop using spoons for mixing in sugar with tea or coffee.

They think that people while using spoons for this purpose encounter small but numerous problems. First of all you have to find a clean one, then lift your hand, swirl your wrist to mix in sugar with your tea or coffee, tap the spoon dry or lick it and after that place it back. Yet there is a way to simplify the procedure. The gadget named "Ceramix For Mix" will help us to do so. It represents a saucer and cup design that is both elegant and simple. An incorporated molded glass groove (resembling a roulette wheel) acts as a track for a ceramic ball, so mix in sugar the user has just to swirl the cup. Due to the centrifugal force your beverage will be soon mixed.

I would say that this idea is as brilliant as it's simple. There is no doubt that the majority of the people will like it. So I think that in the near future given invention will probably be widespread enough.

Useless: sometimes, for instance when using a powder-based beverage which much be dissolved in water, the powder "floats" on th water. With a spoon, this is simply resolved by pushing the powder under, but with this device you can only hope that the created "vortext" is strong enough to pull down the powder.
The above mentioned magnetic device works on the same principle, but has two properties which make it work: the shape of the magnet (cylindric) and the rpm's. A handdriven sphere will never create enough swirl.

I want to put the ball up my bum and squeeze it out again

This is nothing new. In science class 10 years ago we used magnetically driven stirrers to mix chemicals without exposure.
