Vaguely resembling an ocarina, the Bholdable Espresso Tumbler is a 3D printed ceramic mug with 3D printed finger grips that also ventilate the cup. Thanks to the patent pending design, the dual wall creates an air buffer between the hot drink inside and where one’s fingers touch down. The small tumbler holds 1.5 ounces of liquid, just enough for a shot of espresso or sake. Available online for $69, the design comes in white, black, green, and light and dark blue.
