Coffee lids should have an additional raised opening in the middle in which you can insert your nose while sipping your coffee. This will allow you to enjoy the smell of the coffee which is largely lost when coffee is sealed inside a lidded cup. The raised opening lines up with the nostrils and is
higher than the sipping hole to prevent spillage.

Careful attention would need to be paid to the engineering of the aroma vent. But there has to be a better way to drink coffee on the go than sucking it through that tiny opening on the plastic lid. |

Maybe you could apply this technology to beer bottles? I find a stein whenever possible, because you just can't taste beer when it's coming through a tiny bottle opening. |

Hmm...this makes me wonder about an aroma straw...*puzzle* |

I reckon something like two fine-gauze covers and gap between; so that the "smellycules" could get out, but big spheres of agonizingly painful burning coffee would have a harder time escaping through the two gauze traps as you bounced your way the the afore-mentioned [Ian Tindale] frenzied crowded rush-hour conditions. |

How much liquid is required to release aroma? Some cups have recessed areas where the drinking hole is. These allow a small amount of liquid to be exposed to the environment I assume for the purpose of cooling it down. Maybe if these were larger... |
