Vessyl is a smart tumbler equipped with a sensor that can automatically identify any liquid poured inside of it to track what you’re drinking in real-time. Like a high-tech taste test, Vessyl doesn’t just differentiate between what brand of kombucha or coconut water you’re consuming, but it can also detect its calories, protein, sugar and even caffeine content so that you can monitor and regulate the revelation that is your liquid intake.
Seven years in the making, the sleek device was meticulously designed to be user-friendliest. Once you pour your poison and tip it upward, Vessyl displays its nutritional information along the faceted LED screen on the front side of the cup in roughly five seconds (whoa!). The display, like its companion smartphone app, are completely customizable, making it easy to monitor whatever matters to you, like if your post-workout smoothie contains just the right amount of protein or if the whole milk in your daily latte is the trigger of your weight loss woes (easy fix = almond milk next time!). Vessyl also keeps track of your hydration levels with its Pryme technology to make sure you’re not only meeting your basic hydration needs, but hydrating smartly.
Designed in collaboration with SF-based startup Mark One and the creative minds behind other techy must-haves Jambox and the already mentioned Jawbone, the 13-ounce smart cup is seriously impressing leading engineers + innovators (including B+C founder Brit) with its wealth of slick features. It touts a spill-proof swivel lid + non-stick interior, a wireless “coaster” charger for easy countertop re-booting (after five to seven days of on-the-go use) and the ability to sync to your fave fitness trackers, which brings the whole thing full circle.
