Free of glues, screws and other complexity, this snap-on simple coffee cup holder is the perfect way to set down your favorite caffeinated beverage safely while biking to work through the city each morning.

The Bookman cup holder is made of plastic and steel, easy to attach then remove and take with you if you are worried about damage or theft during the day.

Pressing the rings together opens the clamp portion and allows you to slide it onto your handlebars.

The rings are designed for differently-sized drinks and come in various colors as well including red, green, black and white.

The company also makes bike stickers, reflectors, whistles and lights for bikers as well, all likewise designed to be fashionable and functional alike.

More about Bookman: “Three years ago a group of 5 friends all with different skill sets, came together over a mutual passion for cycling. Living in Stockholm, a very bicycle-orientated city, cycling is our main form of transport and we believe it is absolutely the best way to get around the city (and beat traffic). In amongst our comings and goings we saw a need for urban bike accessories with a twist so we decided to combine function with style and design and create Bookman. Our inspiration comes from the humming bike life we see in urban Europe where it is evident that getting on a bike is not reason enough to disregard dressing well. Our goal is to inspire more of you style-conscious people to see that traveling in the saddle can be a way of life that combines style, convenience, design and fun.”

Oh, coffee. You’re our best friend and our computers’ worst enemy. We need you to function, but carelessly allow you to destroy electronics when our shaky, over-caffeinated hands knock over a mug full of sweet, sweet java. The Mighty Mug is the up and coming hero of desk workers and other spill-hating folks everywhere.

The mug’s unique design incorporates something the company calls Smartgrip Technology, which allows it to be pushed, smacked, and knocked around – all without tipping over.

This is thanks to a little setup on the bottom of the cup that forms an instant vacuum seal when you put it down. You don’t have to push down hard or press a button – it just happens naturally. And as long as it’s on a flat, non-porous surface, it will stay right where you put it.

When you need a drink, though, the Mighty Mug lifts straight up like any other drinking vessel. No extra effort is required to release its grip. It’s BPA free, dishwasher safe, and the newer models fit in your car’s cupholders.

While the original Mighty Mug has been on the market since 2013, the company is now introducing new styles: a double-walled vacuum insulated model, a shorter one to fit in Keurig coffee makers, and a cold beverage mug.

Are you powered almost entirely by coffee? The Muki mug from coffee roasters Paulig and advertising firm TBWA/Helsinki knows just how you feel. This unique mug displays images on an e-ink display using just the power of your hot beverage. The Muki has an associated smartphone app which lets users upload their pictures which will be displayed every time the mug is filled.

Every time you fill the Muki with coffee (or any other hot liquid, though Paulig would obviously prefer you use their coffee) a new image appears on the mug’s display. The heat from the coffee creates enough energy to activate the low-power e-ink display. The electronics are in the mug’s base, which makes us think that warming your coffee in the microwave or throwing the mug in the dishwasher probably wouldn’t be advisable.

The image on the mug isn’t photo-realistic, but it is attractively stylized. The best thing about it, however, is the fact that the picture is different every time you get a new cup of coffee. As a marketing device it’s completely brilliant because coffee drinkers will likely go for more refills to see which pic pops up next.
