Abstract
An easily cleanable drinking assembly having a receptacle, a lid, and a coating with hydrophobic, oleophobic, and antimicrobial properties. The receptacle has an inner curved surface having a geometry with no edges, corners, or distinctly angled connections between sections, preventing any fluid or particles from remaining in these areas. The receptacle further has a wider opening and narrower end, allowing for ease of cleaning, so that a cleaning instrument can easily be inserted and easily reach all parts of the interior of the receptacle. Both the interior of the receptacle and the lid are coated with a coating with hydrophobic, oleophobic, and antimicrobial properties, repelling common fluids and particles, maintaining the cleanliness of the interior surfaces and improving the ease of cleaning.

- a receptacle having an inner surface, a closed end and an open end,
- where the inner surface of the receptacle has a curved lower base without any edge;
- an attachable and detachable lid having an inner surface,
- where an inner surface of the drinking assembly is comprised of the inner surfaces of the receptacle and the lid;
- and
- a single coating that has hydrophobic, oleophobic and antimicrobial properties on the inner surface of the receptacle.
An easily cleanable drinking assembly, comprising:
- a receptacle having a closed end, an open end and an inner surface of the receptacle with a completely rounded lower base portion of the inner surface;
- a removable lid;
- and
- a hydrophobic, oleophobic and antimicrobial coating on the inner surface of the receptacle and an interior surface of the lid.
An easily cleanable drinking assembly, comprising:
- a receptacle having a closed end, an open end and an exterior surface, wherein the exterior surface has at least one raised ridge,
- where the receptacle has an inner surface, wherein the inner surface has a completely rounded lower base, and
