Café-ERGO NOLA Porcelain Cup

$52.00

Cafe-ERGO’s double-walled, self insulating, white porcelain cup is simply better to hold than any other ergonomic cup. By design, it follows the form of your hand.   Rest the thumb over the flange and the fingers around the cup for easy lifting.  This eliminates the stress found with a traditional handle. These high quality cups are made in the U.S.A. Dishwasher and Microwave safe. Stackable and fit a car cup holder. They are hand use specific so be sure to order either the right handed cup or the left handed cup to enjoy its full ergonomic benefit. These patented cups are great for people with hand issues.

The double wall insulation will keep your coffee hotter longer than a traditional porcelain cup.

Approximately 10 oz.

Description

These patented, double walled, self insulating, porcelain mugss are the most ergonomic cup on the market! They are hand use specific and hold approximately 10 oz. By design, Café-ERGO cups follow the form of a cupped hand. The thumb is placed over the crescent flange and the fingers wrap around the cup. By eliminating the traditional handle, hand and finger stress usually associated with it is diminished or not there at all.

Cafe-ERGO has been independently reviewed and here is what they said.

Cafe ERGO is the creation of Gerald Haessig, a vessel that combines modern artistic design and ergonomic functionality. Using a flange instead of a traditional handle combined with a bowl shape that is supported by a cylindrical pedestal allows the user to lift the cup nearly effortlessly. The vessel fits the natural contour of your hand allowing the user to maintain their fingers, hand and wrist in a neutral, natural position that supports principles of joint protection.

As an occupational therapist, I often recommend “adaptive” products to my clients with functional limitations due to joint pain, strength, coordination and range of motion impairment in order for them to participate activities they enjoy. There are numerous cups and bowls on the market designed to address these issues, however in my experience few of them work to the satisfaction of my clients. The products often look too “medical” or “childlike”, only function as a cup or a bowl requiring the user to have multiple items and only address range of motion or strength impairment.

Café ERGO has a modern artistic design, can be used as a cup or a bowl and can be custom designed for right or left handed individuals. When used as a cup, the wide mouth assists individuals with neck range of motion limitations. The curve of the bowl section slows the speed of the liquid entering the mouth and the slight fold in the lip of the edge decreases spillage. This multi-function vessel incorporates joint protection principles which are good for all individuals, addresses multiple areas of limitations, can be used for many activities other than eating and drinking, can be custom designed and has an artist appeal.

I’m thrilled to find an item I can recommend to my clients that will functionally help them enjoy their daily cup of coffee or tea as well as enjoy it socially with friends and family where everyone is using the same vessel and benefiting from the design. Good for your body and spirit. In the world of occupational therapy, this is truly what we mean when we say, “fully engaging in meaningful daily activity”.

“Cafe Ergo is a great alternative for people who have conditions that may impact strength or range of motion in their fingers, hands, or upper extremities, such as: rhumetoid arthritis, inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, deformities, or injuries.  Gerald has put such thought and consideration in the development of these mugs, blending function and simplicity to create a mug that everyone can love and enjoy!”
-Jill Reichle, COTA/L and coffee enthusiast
