A Geek coffee mug designed for durable and personalized use :

 

The mug that we present to you is available in two sizes; 11oz and 15oz.

 

This way, you can use it as a coffee mug or as a large coffee mug.

 

The ceramic structure of this coffee mug is designed for long-lasting use, especially since it is compatible with your microwave and dishwasher.

 

 

A Mug Geek on the theme of Technological Intelligence and Computer Vision :

 

The Geek pattern of the coffee mug that we offer (printed by sublimation, that is to say by heat) makes it a unique mug; one of the best coffee mugs on the market.

 

This pattern was created on the theme of Technological Watch (Technological Intelligence), more precisely on the theme of Computer Vision.

 

Technological watch is a Science of Information and Communication, which allows to keep regularly informed of technological developments (as well as technological innovations) which can constitute either a threat or a market opportunity for an organization.

 

Many industrial sectors use this science to detect technological innovations; the coffee sector is of course no exception.

 

The project carried out by a French engineering school is an example of this.

 

The aim of this innovative project was to produce the prototype of a coffee machine, capable of automatically serving coffee to a customer, provided that the latter smiled at it!

 

The detection of the consumer’s smile was carried out by facial recognition software, equipped with artificial intelligence (AI).

 

 

The software being programmed from OpenCV (acronym for Open Computer Vision; computer vision), an image processing computer library, equipped with learning algorithms allowing the detection of faces, and distributed under a free license (otherwise says, Open source).

 

Furthermore, another original feature has been added to this coffee machine; the automatic sending of the photo of the smiling customer (in other words, his selfie), on the social network Twitter, once the coffee is served.

 

These French researchers have therefore designed a coffee machine equipped with computer vision (that is to say, based on pattern recognition) but also a coffee machine connected to a social network.

 

A technological watch makes it possible to find another innovative project in the field of coffee; the one developed by a team of Brazilian researchers.

 

The originality of their project lies in the fact that they have created a system capable of sorting coffee beans according to their color, in other words, capable of classifying coffee beans according to their degree of maturity.

 

Perhaps you already know this; coffee cherries (the fruit of the coffee bush from which coffee beans are extracted) mature when these are red in color.

 

The coffee cherries are then harvested, most of the time by hand, during an operation called picking.

 

Then coffee beans (also called coffee beans) are extracted from these coffee cherries.

 

 

At this stage, the coffee beans generally have a more or less nuanced green color, depending on their actual degree of maturity, in other words on the quality of the harvest.

 

The greener the coffee bean, the riper the coffee bean and therefore the better its aroma will be after roasting (that is, after exposure to heat).

 

However , the degree of maturity is not the only element to take into consideration when selecting good coffee beans ; their sieve (in other words, their size) as well as their appearance are also important factors.

 

Unfortunately, given the volume of grain to be processed, the sorting process is often a tedious operation for growers. .

 

This is why the use of artificial intelligence (computer vision, in particular) is an original and innovative way of making the sorting operation less restrictive for growers, and therefore for farms in general.

 

To do this, the system relies on pattern recognition (ie, computer vision).

 

First, Artificial Intelligence detects the shades of green of each coffee bean, according to the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model.

 

The computer vision system then switches from RGB modeling to a color space called L*a*b* CIE 1976 or CIELAB.

 

 

The coffee beans are then sorted and classified according to their degree of maturity, thanks to three neural networks, according to the Naive Bayesian Classification.

 

Knowing that a Bayesian classifier is a family of algorithms that group together samples having similar probabilities.

 

With this method, the coffee beans are sorted with an accuracy close to 100% and the coffee obtained, after roasting, is only of better quality.

 

Drinking quality coffee in a quality cup or mug is what we, in turn, offer you!

 

 

Thanks to our microwave-compatible Geek coffee mug, you can make a chocolate fondant mug cake in a few minutes :

 

Here is the list of utensils and ingredients to bring together to make this type of fondant chocolate mug cake:

 

6 tablespoons of organic flour (it can be a mixture of Teff flour, Millet flour, Buckwheat flour, for example), a tablespoon of brown sugar or palm sugar, 2 tablespoons of organic and highly defatted cocoa powder, 25 g of organic margarine, half a sachet of baking powder made from organic corn, 3 squares of dark chocolate made from organic cocoa, a teaspoon of icing sugar, 3 tablespoons of organic vegetable milk (soy milk or rice milk, for example), an egg from a free-range chicken, 75 ml of organic vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of vegetable cream (soy cream , cream of rice , for example ) , a coffee mug with a capacity of 15 oz .

 

 

It should be noted that Teff, Millet and Buckwheat flours have the advantage of being alternatives to traditional wheat flour, especially since (unlike it) these flours are gluten-free.

 

Since gluten is a substance composed of proteins, it can cause gastrointestinal disorders (such as celiac disease, also known as “irritable bowel disease”), in people with gluten intolerance or in people with non-celiac sensitivity. to gluten (SNCG).

 

It must also be said that Teff flour has the particularity of being rich in Calcium, Iron, vegetable proteins, antioxidants and dietary fiber.

 

As for Millet flour, it is rich in mineral salts (Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc) and it is a good source of dietary fiber and vegetable protein.

 

Finally, Buckwheat flour is also a good source of vegetable proteins, dietary fibers and mineral salts (Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Zinc) but also a good source of vitamins (Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6).

 

As far as sugar is concerned, it is better for your health to use sugar from organic farming and which has undergone as little industrial transformation as possible, in other words sugar that is not refined.

 

This is why it is better to favor whole cane sugar (or even brown sugar) over white sugar.

 

 

Indeed , unlike white sugar , unrefined sugars still contain vitamins and mineral salts .

 

On the other hand, the same remarks can be made for icing sugar which is neither more nor less than sugar which is reduced to a fine powder.

 

Thus, to make your own icing sugar from whole cane sugar, you can, for example, combine the following ingredients and kitchen utensils; whole cane sugar (enough to fill an 11 oz coffee mug), a tablespoon of cornstarch, a food processor.

 

 

Then, the ingredients are poured and mixed in the tank of the mixer, for about two minutes.

 

Once these ingredients are gathered, what are the steps to make a mug cake with a Geek mug like the one we are selling to you?

 

First, place 15 g of organic margarine at the bottom of your coffee mug and heat your mug in the microwave for about fifteen seconds.

 

In a second step, break the egg, pour the egg yolk and the egg white into the coffee mug then stir everything for about ten seconds.

 

Thirdly, add the flour, vegetable cream, cocoa powder and a few drops of vanilla to the mixture and stir the mixture again.

 

If the dough becomes too thick, add a few spoonfuls of vegetable milk to soften it.

 

 

In a fourth step, insert a few pieces of chocolate inside the dough obtained, using a knife then equalize this dough.

 

In a fifth step, place the mug in the microwave and cook the dough for about 2 minutes.

 

In a sixth and last time, sprinkle the chocolate cake thus obtained, with icing sugar.

 

Your mug cake is now ready!

When you eat it, you will notice that this cake is fondant.

 

This fondant and this flowing aspect of the cake are due to the presence of pieces of chocolate which have melted under the heat.

 

 

There you go, you know more about this easy-to-make dessert that you can prepare at any time of the day, using our Geek coffee mug !
