Local resident designs new invention
Melissa M., has invented a mug that will allow coffee lovers to mix sweetener and cream in their coffee without the use of stirrers or spoons. She came up with the idea from her love for coffee at work. She gets a cup every morning, but can never find a stirrer or spoon. Stirring is a minor delay in preparing a cup of coffee, and not be able to find anything to stir it with further complicates the situation. Or sometimes the coffee is so hot it melts the stirrer or spoon. A simple yet effective solution to this common problem, tentatively called the Coffee Mug Pro, has been developed by Melissa. The invention's unique design guarantees that coffee can be easily and quickly stirred without the need for anything else. It took her six to eight months to design. The difficult part, for her was getting the idea from her mind on paper. "It's very user-friendly. Even a five-year-old could use it," Melissa said. Melissa presented her original idea to Invention Technologies, Inc. based in Coral Gables, FL. She plans to come up with a new name for the invention because it is not only for coffee. It will work for any type of drink that needs to be mixed with water or milk such as cocoa, Tang, or Crystal Light.
