Pouring from a full carafe can be challenging due to traditional handle designs and weight distribution. Two new jug designs, the Ergo Jug and the Bubble Jug, address this common problem by rethinking how users grip and pour, offering improved stability and control. These designs focus on integrating the grip into the vessel's form rather than adding an external loop.
