Tea or Coffee? Affordances of Cups with Biscuit Pockets

You are at an important event. Networking is the most important thing for you. You hold cup and saucer in 1 hand while looking for your business card with the other. Your right-hand reaches out to the left side pocket or handbag. You then find a place to keep your cup and saucer, then go find the business card, go find the person who you wanted to hand it over to (who already lost eye contact with you) and then pick your cup back (if the waiter hasn't taken it away thinking you are done).

If you didn't have your breakfast and this is your first tea/coffee break, you would hope for some cookies. Now the saucer needs to hold your cup, spoon, biscuit. How easy is that?

A cup with a biscuit pocket could be your answer. This cup supports affordance by having a small pocket to hold biscuit, and in most cases, let people get away from holding the saucer, an unnecessary distraction.

It's hard to struggle with daily challenges as drinking tea/coffee at a large gathering. It's harder to solve these daily challenges.
