Hey Kickstarters, thanks for checking out our project! We have spent the last nine months developing Coffee Joulies to create the perfect coffee drinking experience for you, and now we need your help to get them produced.
Coffee Joulies work with your coffee to achieve two goals. First, they absorb extra thermal energy in your coffee when it’s served too hot, cooling it down to a drinkable temperature three times faster than normal. Next, they release that stored energy back into your coffee keeping it in the right temperature range twice as long.
This amazing feat of thermodynamics happens thanks to a special non-toxic material sealed within the polished stainless steel shell. This material is designed to melt at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and absorbs a lot of energy as it melts. This is how Joulies cool your coffee down three times faster than normal. Once it reaches this temperature, the special material begins to solidify again, releasing the energy it stored when it melted. This is how Joulies keep your coffee warm twice as long.
The better insulated your cup, the better Coffee Joulies work. Simply using a lid goes a long way. This is because less heat is lost to the environment, and more is stored within the Joulies themselves. In a ceramic mug Joulies will keep your coffee in the right temperature range for only a few minutes longer than usual (because mugs are such poor insulators - designed to keep your hand from being burned, not to keep coffee warm). Of course this isn't a problem when you're rushing to get to work in the morning and Joulies help you drink your coffee three times sooner.
In a well-made vacuum thermos, on the other hand, Joulies will keep your coffee in the right temperature range for over five hours. More importantly, they cool coffee down much faster, helping you avoid burning your tongue as you taste coffee in the thermos while checking to see if it’s the right temperature yet.
Oh, and did we mention that Coffee Joulies work with more than just coffee? You’ll love Joulies in your tea, hot chocolate...any hot beverage you want.
Remember, coffee is more than just a hot, caffeinated beverage. It is a ritual that gets us up in the morning and keeps us going all day. Get creative with how you incorporate Joulies into your ritual. Find out exactly how many you need for your perfect cup of coffee, when to put them in, whether you want to preheat them first, whether you still need cream and sugar once you have the temperature perfected with Joulies, etc. etc. These are your magic beans now. Get to know them. You’ll have them forever.
