Self Stirring Coffee Cup is the Weirdest Invention We Never Knew We Needed

Not saying we'll buy it for ourselves, but Christmas is coming up soon ... right?

I'm just not sure how big of a market there is for people who are too lazy to stir their morning coffee. I mean looking at the price of this cup on Amazon, it's not terrible. Less than $12.

I wouldn't buy this cup for myself though, because my morning coffee cup is a literal beer stein, and I chug my morning joe (seriously). If I have a small cup I spend more time walking to the coffee pot than anything else.

I guess my love of coffee started when I was working the 6am-12n Sunday morning shift at my first radio job. My job was to play the local commercials during the countdown shows that aired first thing in the morning. Once the newness wore off I realized the fact that I would push a button and then wait for 10 minutes. After a couple of close calls of dozing off, I started drinking coffee to stay awake.

Over the years, I drank more and more coffee, especially when I did a 7 p.m. -12 a.m. night show. When I stopped, I was up to two pots a night. A NIGHT!!

I went caffeine free cold turkey around this time, two days in I was miserable. So, I drank some green tea. Then I drank LOTS of green tea. I started feeling normal, I thought "Hey, I beat the caffeine withdrawal beast!" So, I went to the store to buy more green tea bags, to continue my caffeine free life style. I noticed they sold both decaff and a regular green tea. I had been drinking caffeine all along. I was so bummed.

Now a days I'm down to just a pot.

Anyway, I'm WAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic here.

I guess what I was going for is this - if you're a cup a day type person, this might be the coffee cup for you. If you're like me and need a pot of coffee to open your eyes in the morning, then it's a pass.
