The cup, which took four years to create, has raised more than £51,000 on Kickstarter and is soon to be released to the public.

Brooks says his cup not only keeps your hot drink warm for longer, but it also doesn’t leak when it folds down and doesn’t burn your hands. 

There’s clearly a huge appetite for his product, called Pokito, as it has exceeded its production target four-fold.

The cup, which is manufactured in Britain, comes in a variety of colours and people can pledge £11 to get their hands on one first.
