Float
Float is a reusable cup designed for drinking bubble tea without a straw. An inner cup holds the bubbles above the tea, so the bubbles and the tea reach the mouth together when the cup is raised. The tea is cooled by the ice above it before it is drunk, which avoids the warmer final sips that are common with straw cups. Float is made by plastic injection molding and silicone injection molding and measures 106 by 106 by 236 millimeters. The aim of the design is to reduce the use of disposable cups and straws.
