At Tyni Tech, we review products with the “C.U.P.” system. CUP stands for “Capability”, “Usability”, and “Portability”. More specifically:

C- Capability 

What can it do?

U- Usability 

How easy can you do it?

P- Portability 

How small is it?

This is compared to the item’s closest standard sized counterpart. A small phone compared to a base level Android/iPhone, a small guitar compared to a Les Paul or Stratocaster, etc. Each category is rated between 0-4.

4- Perfect

3- Sacrifices a little

2- Sacrifices a lot

1- Sacrifices too much

0- Completely fails

We average the scores and then it gets one last push from us: “The last drop”. If we just personally like something, this may boost it up and may push it down if we don’t.

A full cup is an item that is as capable and easy to use as a full sized version, while being as small as possible. An empty cup is unacceptably downgraded, unusable, and not much smaller anyways.

Reviews coming soon!
