Takeaway Coffee Cup with Sleeve
A disposable paper cup for hot drinks, with a plastic lid and a cardboard sleeve to protect your hands. It was invented in the early 1900s and the sleeve was added in 1991.
What does it do?
This cup holds hot drinks like coffee or tea so you can take them with you. The lid stops spills and keeps the drink warm. The cardboard sleeve protects your hand from the heat. The cup is disposable, so you can throw it away after one use.
Who built it or used it?
Paper cups were first made in the early 1900s to stop germs from spreading when people shared cups. The sleeve was invented by Jay Sorensen in 1991 after his wife burned her hand. Today, millions of people use these cups every day to grab coffee on the go.
How does it work?
The cup is made of paper with a thin plastic lining inside to stop leaks. The lid snaps on and has a small hole for sipping and a vent for air. The sleeve is made of corrugated cardboard that traps air and insulates your hand.
Before and after
Before disposable cups, people shared cups or brought their own. The paper cup made drinks safer and more portable. The sleeve made hot drinks comfortable to hold. Now, there are also reusable cups to reduce waste.
Modern version
Today, many coffee shops use similar cups, but some are made with plant-based plastics or recycled paper. Reusable cups are also popular to help the environment.
