I also found the Crunch Cup to be simple to clean, with the pieces coming apart easy enough to quickly wash and dry.Īnd whether you're commuting by car or public transportation, I can see this being a super easy way to get in some breakfast. Your cereal doesn’t get soggy, you get just a little bit of cereal and milk at the same time and the cup is easy to grip. Once I got into the flow of it, I really had fun with it, and it really does do what it says it does. It’s slightly similar to taking a sip out of a water bottle but not quite, as you need to open your mouth just enough so that the cereal and milk come in simultaneously but not so much that it’s uncomfortable. It took some practice to figure out how far to tip back the cup and open my mouth without looking silly. While the product feels like a coffee cup, the loose cereal means you have to tip it back far enough to get some of both, all without making a mess. To use the Crunch Cup, you have to think about how to eat the cereal and milk at the same time. The Crunch Cup comes in several pieces: the large outer cup that holds the milk, the smaller inner cup that holds the cereal, the sipping top, the cover with a small hole to sip the milk and an oversized cap that funnels the cereal into your mouth when you tip it back.Īfter heading down the cereal aisle and picking my favorite childhood cereal, I followed the directions as described: filled milk to the appropriate fill line, added cereal to the inner cereal cup portion, screwed the inner cup to the lid, put that portion into the larger cup and finally - yes, finally - it was time to experience that perfect ratio of cereal to milk. The three-stage diagram was needed - I would have barely noticed the milk fill line. When you take a sip (or gulp!) from the opening, you get what the brand calls the “perfect milk to cereal ratio." Instead of adding cereal and milk to a travel mug or portable bowl, this ingeniously designed cup is made for convenience and ensures your cereal stays nice and crispy.Īfter removing the unit from the box, I saw the packaging featured instructions on how and where to add your cereal and milk. The Crunch Cup is a plastic tumbler-shaped bowl with an insertable chamber that separates the milk and cereal. Getting the perfect cereal-to-milk ratio is easy So, does the Crunch Cup come in for a pinch? Is it creatively convenient or conventionally messy? Luckily, I had a chance to try it out and answer all of my questions on my own. I was intrigued by the idea of convenience with a dish that typically doesn’t allow portability. I bet it'd be amazing as a topping for ice cream, or frozen yogurt, so you still get all the crunch and sugary goodness, but if you're really really into cereal for the flavored milk left in the bowl, you'll probably really like this stuff too.A Kickstarter darling, the Crunch Cup claims to ensure that we can have soggy-free cereal and milk on the go. I think I saw that they used this as a topping for yogurt or something, and that seems like a really awesome use for this stuff too. Junk Banter didn't steer me wrong, this is a really awesome seasonal cereal, and I liked it a lot, but I personally prefer it dry right out of the box. It's still good, and I am sure plenty of people love eating it this way, but I miss the crispy texture of the cereal and the granulated sugar bits. At this point the cereal itself tastes pretty bland, but the milk tastes really sweet and vanilla heavy, kind of like vanilla almond milk, or a very very thinned out vanilla milk shake. (Check out this awesome milk-pour shot! I am getting way better at this! I'm super proud.) When I added milk it looked nice, but as always the cereal gets soggy quickly and all of that sugary vanilla flavoring gets washed away. With milk, the experience changes quite a bit.
