The minimal Taça cup offers maximal dunking opportunity
The Taça solves that age old problem: how to dip a giant cookie into a tiny cup of milk? The traditional solution has been to just use a bigger cup or a smaller cookie, but the intrepid designers at Barcelona-based design house Entlo.1a* don’t give up so easily.
The Taça (Portuguese for “cup”) makes more space by simply extending the cup’s cookie capacity into the handle, thus only adding a minimum of extra volume. This efficiency means better-dunked cookies without wasting milk.
It’s odd, though, that anyone in Spain — or even all Europe — would bother making such a thing. We don’t dunk cookies in milk over here. In England, biscuits are dunked into tea, and in Spain toasted bread or churros are dipped into hot chocolate, but cookies’n’milk is strictly stateside.
Still, the dunking is the point, and the cup itself is pretty gorgeous even without the cookie. It’s just a shame they’re not for sale. I’m going to go visit the bakery and the grocery store, and go knock on these guys’ door to see if I can beg a Taça or two. Wish me luck.

* “Entlo.1a” means “Entresuelo 1a” which translates to “second floor, apartment 1a” in the U.S and “first floor flat 1a” in Britain. Got it?
