The coffee mug or drink container has an internal multi-cup compartment. A thermally insulated container (liquid containment store) has a lid with drink spout(s) (if the drink container is not a bottle). The special container has an internal dry store for two or more cups placed in a storage compartment beneath the bottom of the container. Identically shaped cups nest together (stacked) in the dry store on a nested cup support with a complementary surface to limit vertical and horizontal jostling and cup damage. Sometimes the cups are frusto-conically shaped or are matching convex/concaved shaped. An added secondary storage container is included for coffee or drink additives.

The claimed invention relates to bottles used by exercise enthusiasts for carrying liquids, solids and/or powdered nutritional supplements with liquids for mixing said supplements. Exercise aficionados consume a variety of hydrating liquids, nutritional supplements mixed with liquids or solid food items before, during and after their exercise periods. People who exercise use a variety of bottles including shakers, squeeze and water bottles to hold and consume their liquids, foods and supplements during their workouts. The present invention is an improved dual compartment shaker bottle for various nutritional supplements, liquids and combinations thereof. The dual compartments allow the user to carry two different liquids, nutritional supplements, combinations of liquids and supplements or solids for use before, during and after their workout. They no longer need two or more shaker bottles to accomplish this. Further, the claimed invention includes two compartment tops that securely attach to the bottle with a screw on and off mechanism and provide openings to consume the contents of each chamber. Each chamber is designed with curved closed end without corners/angles that cause clumping and reduced dissolving of supplements. The disclosed invention has attachment clips at each end to assist the user in carrying the bottle in a number of places. Further, the side of the bottle is ribbed for easy gripping. To assist the user in assessing the volume of material in each compartment, a measuring scale is included along the length of each compartment. A double wall exterior is disclosed to provide insulation to maintain the temperature of the materials in each compartment.

A portable, self-contained beverage apparatus includes a container assembly having a known storage capacity for storing a consumable liquid, and a dispensing assembly disposed within the container assembly that dispenses variable, non-zero quantities of additives into the consumable liquid. The dispensing assembly includes multiple apertures structured and arranged to retain vessels containing the additives to be dispensed into the consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus also includes a level sensor disposed within the container assembly that determines a consumable liquid level of the consumable liquid stored in the container assembly. In certain embodiments, one or more positive displacement pumping mechanisms are configured to pump additive liquid from additive containers into a beverage chamber. Other features relate to audio engagement processing. Other features relate to situational processing. Other features relate to group engagement processing.

A concentrate container that is coupled to a drinking container having an output for discharging a drink is proposed. The concentrate container has a chamber in which a concentrate is kept, an outlet through which a concentrate is put into the drinking container, and a container mouth for discharging a liquid mixture of the concentrate and a drink to the outside when the drinking container and the concentrate container are combined. The inner diameter of the concentrate container outlet is determined to be fitted on the drinking container outlet, a thread is formed inside the concentrate container outlet, and the thread is engaged with a thread of the drinking container outlet.

A travel cup includes a cup base or body portion divided in volume by at least one partition, an inner cup lid having openings placed vertically there through, the inner cup lid removably attached to the top inside rim of the cup base or body, an outer cup lid having openings placed vertically there through, the outer cup lid removably seated within the vertically extending body of the inner cup lid, and a friction plug connector to connect the outer lid in seated position against the inner lid such that the outer lid may be rotated against friction of the lid interface, the friction induced by the friction plug connector.

Disclosed is a beverage dispensing device, characterized in that it includes a main container, including a beverage receiving cavity and a fluid suction nozzle, a secondary container adapted to be movable inside the beverage receiving cavity, including at least one hole, a component providing a communication between the secondary container and the main container, configured such that, when the secondary container is in the beverage receiving cavity, between an upper position and an open position, the at least one hole is plugged, and between the open position and a lower position, the at least one hole is not plugged.

There is provided a consumption device for multiple beverages. The consumption device includes a container with multiple compartments, a connection member connected to the compartments and forming a channel with the compartments, where the channel has one or a plurality of openings on a side of the channel. The consumption device also includes a straw disposed in the channel that can be movable with respect to the channel, where the straw has an opening on a side of the straw, wherein the opening on the straw can share a pass with an opening on the channel for a beverage in one of the compartments. By moving the straw, a user can selectively or sequentially consume multiple beverages, or alternatively, simultaneously consume of the beverages. Without moving the straw, the device can share no passes between any of compartments and the straw, allowing no consumption of any beverages.

A drinking device for the retronasal perception of an aroma substance comprises a storage container for drinking liquid, at least one aroma container, through which air can flow, and a transporting channel for drinking liquid. The transporting channel runs from the storage container to a mouth end of the drinking device. The drinking device also comprises an air channel for transporting aromatized air. The air channel running runs from at least one of the at least one aroma containers to the transporting channel for drinking liquid or to the mouth end.

Provided herein is a multiple-compartment pitcher. The pitcher in one embodiment comprises openings for downspouts arranged in a bottom portion of the pitcher body, and in which each opening communicates with one of a respective compartment. A lid is provided with openings providing for fluid communication with each compartment to allow venting of air, thereby facilitating discharge of liquid contents from a compartment when a downspout is opened. In another embodiment, the pitcher has spouts formed in the top portion of the pitcher body and in which the spouts are arranged at an angle relate to the handle of the pitcher to facilitate ease of pouring.

Containers are provided herein of various shapes and sizes including, in some embodiments, containers with side access ports of custom configurations and shapes. The port may be shaped like a hammer or other shapes, and may, in some embodiments have a removable cover placed thereover. In further embodiments, multi-compartment containers are disclosed that may be provided with multiple compartments.
