Is the Coffee Mug Warmer worth it?
Worth it. The cheapest desk upgrade with the highest daily use. Just check the mug.
A mug warmer is worth it for anyone who nurses a coffee for an hour at a desk; it keeps a drink hot, not re-heats it, and only works with flat-bottomed mugs, so check the mug before the warmer.
Buy it if you…
- Slow coffee and tea drinkers at a desk
- Work-from-home people who forget their cup
Skip it if you…
- Mugs with a raised or rounded base
- Reheating a cold coffee (it maintains
- it doesn't boil)
Questions people ask
Does it work with any mug?
Flat-bottom ceramic
Is it safe to leave on?
Buy one with auto shut-off (usually 4–8 hours) and it's fine.
