Description

2goCup

No summary in English

That will be 2Go!

Imagine a future where everyone carried their own coffee cup.

So what prevents people from bringing their own cup? Well, we believe it is the inconvenient size and perceived hassle. Our solution is the 2Go Cup.

An engineered expandable and retractable beverage vessel with a heat resistant bio-plastic shell with a silicone liner, the 2Go Cup holds 12oz of coffee or any other beverage. When fully extended, it stands 6 inches high and grips comfortably in your hand. The base is 2.5 inches wide so it fits into most vehicle cup holders.

We have created several prototypes and we have achieved our goal of significantly reducing the size of a travel mug without compromising safety. In addition, by incorporating the inner liner we have eliminated the possibility of any leaking.

When the 2Go Cup is empty, the coffee drinker rotates the base clockwise and it minimizes along its inner threading, reducing the cup to a mere 2.7 inches in height. Then the cup, with its leak proof lid, can easily and neatly fit into a coat pocket or a purse. Cleaning is easy. Simply rinse it out by hand or wash it in your dishwasher.

The 2Go Cup is a significant improvement to the cups that are available on the market today. It is a novel solution to motivate people to carry their own cups and inspire others to do the same.

The 2Go Cup – a cool alternative to wasteful paper cups or bulky travel mugs

Thank you for the love Qvistar. The material choices are actually "greener" than most people would think. Production processes have been around and they're very efficient.

@Janne, yes, the cup comes assembled. I'm sorry for the confusion. For some reason, I was unable to remove the rendering that shows the cup in pieces. It was meant to show all the components to make the cup.

I like the way the internal components work and that it can be completely broken down for cleaning. The yellow version reminds me of a very old McDonalds cup from the 70's or 80's http://pics.rubylane.com/graphics/shops/firstrate/10452.1F.jpg. Great idea. Sleek look! GeekMom~

This would have to be the nicest multi-part cup design I've seen - i'm surprised that they don't already use the liner concept in existing telescoping cups, it makes great sense, and seems a lot more reliable than using some sort of seal that would wear out. I personally find that in a few scenarios, multi-part cups are a bit big even when collapsed (my own brief was more a compromise focused on super compactness http://www.jovoto.com/contests/drink-sustainably/ideas/5390), but it's becoming more and more common for everyone to carry bags around these days, so that's becoming much less of an issue, and handbags are pretty much ubiquitous, so you've got half the population right there, and a very durable and attractive product. Also, allow me to second loving the renderings - looks like you might have used hypershot?

Thank you for all the complements.

@Danieltreacy. We use Photoworks (part of Solidworks) to render. This product is almost ready to go to production. We decide this cup to hold 12 oz. of liquid. The bottom is small enough to fit into most of the automobile cup holder and it collapsed down to 1/3 the original size.

I like it! Slides 4 & 5 w/ the last slide really made it clear to me (I too thought there was some sort of user assembly). Unlike some of the other entries I've seen this collapsible design really has a good solution to preventing spillage.
