Coffee Joulies

Have you guys seen this project on Kickstarter? What do you reckon?


I have to admit, as someone whose enthusiasm usually gets the better of me once I get the smell, I'm tempted if it works as well as they claim.

Coffee Joulies work with your coffee to achieve two goals. First, they absorb extra thermal energy in your coffee when it’s served too hot, cooling it down to a drinkable temperature three times faster than normal. Next, they release that stored energy back into your coffee keeping it in the right temperature range twice as long.



This amazing feat of thermodynamics happens thanks to a special non-toxic material sealed within the polished stainless steel shell. This material is designed to melt at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and absorbs a lot of energy as it melts. This is how Joulies cool your coffee down three times faster than normal. Once it reaches this temperature, the special material begins to solidify again, releasing the energy it stored when it melted. This is how Joulies keep your coffee warm twice as long.

Oooh. Interesting. Also wonder how well they work.

To be honest drink temperature is not a massive problem for me
