Get ready to pucker up to your morning coffee.

Those who can’t get going in the morning without a cup of joe can now show their appreciation - by giving it a huge kiss.

Thanks to Korean designer Jang Woo-Seok, there’s a new coffee cup lid, which features a human-shaped nose and mouth.

Woo-Seok came up with the “Take ‘Kiss’ Out” coffee lid after noticing existing coffee lids “lacked flair,” Mashable reports.

According to the designer, he has coffee everyday but not always a kiss. So the cup lid allows you to experience both.

He sketched the design in a cafe and came up with a prototype. At first, the lid only had a mouth with a small hole to sip through, but Woo-Seok felt something was missing. He later added a nose to make the close encounter feel more like a real kiss.

He adds that the design is “fun but functional” and is a way to draw public attention.

“Take-out coffee is a symbol of city culture and fashion,” he added.

The quirky coffee cup design will begin distribution by the end of this month in Korea. No word on when you might be seeing the invention hit coffee shops in Canada.
