A smart catering equipment design that carries the traditional Turkish tea ritual into the future with patented magnetic induction technology, ferritic disc integrated into the glass base and water-repellent matte acrylic tray architecture.
Serving tea, which is an indispensable part of Turkish culture, is a delicate ritual that must maintain its clarity and warmth at the moment it is brewed.TEPS Smart Tea Cup and Tray System;is an industrial product design work bythat reconsiders the traditional glass cup and tray with modern magnetic induction technology in order to maintain this temperature with the same taste for hours.
The most innovative aspect of the design is that the invisible heating coils hidden in the tray establish a wireless magnetic resonance with the special-bottomed tea glasses, keeping only the liquid inside the glass at the ideal drinking temperature. The cold surface, which does not burn hands when the user holds the tray, combines with smart energy management.
“TEPS combines the classic slim-waist cup form with a hidden induction base, transforming the traditional Turkish tea ritual into a perfect catering experience with modern wireless technology.”
Special alloy disc that is embedded in the base of the slim-waisted glass without damaging its transparency and provides heat transfer by induction.
Matte acrylic body with a thermal barrier that does not keep spilled tea drops on the surface, does not burn hands, and is easy to wipe.
While the TEPS tea cup maintains its classic slim-waisted design, a special steel alloy induction disc that distributes heat homogeneously has been integrated into its bottom base. The matte black acrylic surface on the tray is fully insulated against water droplets and spills and is shaped in a form that is extremely easy to clean.
The user does not feel any heat when holding the tray; The system is activated only when it detects metal at the bottom of the glass, focusing energy directly on the liquid inside the glass. In this way, bitterness of the tea is prevented and fresh tea pleasure is provided for hours.
Hidden LED ring that glows elegantly when the cup is placed on the tray, indicating the keep warm mode.
TEPS's form language; It was designed in minimalism to bring traditional Turkish hospitality to every environment, from office meeting rooms to modern living rooms. The lithium battery pack, hidden within its slim-profile, lightweight body, eliminates cable dependency and offers full freedom of movement during service.
The handle angles of the tray minimize the risk of liquid spillage by distributing the center of gravity to the palm when carrying it with one or two hands. The noble harmony of wood and metal details with acrylic in CMF decisions represents the perfect balance of the traditional and the futuristic.
Smart circuit that detects only the metal at the bottom of the cup and focuses energy directly on the liquid without heating the surface.
Concealed induction disc, stainless and suitable for food contact, that integrates with the aesthetic transparency of the slim-waisted glass.
Matte surface texture with thermal barrier that does not retain stains and droplets, is resistant to scratches and does not burn hands.
Integrated lithium battery pack that eliminates cable clutter and offers lightweight and portable use.
Examination of brewing temperature, cup holding habits and service dynamics.
Base and minimalist tray handle sketches that do not distort the thin-waisted cup form.
Recessed ferritic base sections, in-tray 3D CAD packaging of induction coils.
Thermal camera tests, verification of keeping warm performance and stain resistance.
Integration of glass base pressing moulds, acrylic tray manufacturing and box design.
