The Optimistic Hands-Free Sipper Cup

 neither half empty nor half full but always brimming

Across the rim of this cup is stretched a slightly concave, very elastic membrane. As the cup is filled, the membrane expands downwards, and the liquid’s surface always stays just under the edge. The air under the membrane exits through a hole in the handle (whistle or whoopee flap optional).

Halfbaking is made more efficient since one can easily sip coffee, tea or Drambuie without taking the hands from the keyboard and mouse. Taking this mug on social calls and closing the exit hole with the thumb insures that when one asks for only half a cup, there’s only room for half a cup.

       Do all drinks have a similar density? I would guess they're all around that of water, except those with mostly alcohol. What's the thickest (heaviest) common drink? Egg nog?

       I think that the hot drink, such as coffee, might reduce the elasticity of the membrane, and stop the drink from rising.
