coffee straw
Sometimes you need a lie down on a Saturday or Sunday morning. The sun is out, the chez is calling, a half hour recline with a cup of coffee to start the day. Lovely.
But! You need to keep sitting up / tilting your head / straining your neck to sip the coffee. This ruins the whole affair and you’d be just as well sitting up. What a waste of a recline opportunity.
Introducing reclaffeine - the reclining caffeine system
An insulated coffee straw for laying and drinking on a sofa. Two models. One is simply an insulated straw with a clever valve to minimise effort for sipping, you dip it in your coffee cup using a small clip.
The second is more ingenious. It comes with a coffee puck to insert into the straw - so you pull hot water through the straw to brew as you drink. How fresh is that coffee? Well it brewed 12mm from my tongue!
Not available as a baseball cap mounted version!

Just discovered your blog, very cool!
The second method would require some engineering, water has to pass through the coffee at a rate slow enough to properly extract the alphas. Too fast and you have ultra-thin coffee, too slow and you’re drinking ice cream through a straw.
You could create a 2 canister setup, a bit like a Bialetti stove top unit. Suction in Canister one creates a drip system from canister two through the puck, and into canister one slow enough to saturate everything. The coffee continues to brew as you drink it, you would just have a “warm-up” time of a few minutes while canister one gets up to speed…
Neat idea anyway
