Warm Beverages
By Sarah (nomad)
This product is perfect. It does exactly what it claims to do...keeps your beverage warm. It won't be boiling hot, but it will be at a drinkable temperature until you are done. The chord is long enough and gives a decent range of use. I like to sip the same cup of coffee for hours while I am working, reading or studying and now I never have to microwave it again. I have noticed that it doesn't do as good of a job when the mug is full, but the end of the cup will be quite hot. Well worth the price.
IT WORKS JUST GREAT!

We've been looking for a cup-warmer that would actually work...the usb-powered type just didn't have enough power, so we returned them to the local store. What really won this particular model is the fact that someone wrote in their review of this product, "...a drop of water on it sizzles." So we gave it a try; sure enough, a drop of water on it sizzles, the coffee stays warm, and we're happy we got it. It works best with flat-bottomed glass/ ceramic cups, but it will also do something for cups/ mugs that have a ridge around the bottom edge. It will work for an 8- to 14-oz. mug, but it works best with the 8-oz.
All that being said, here are a couple of satisfied customers who recommend the product we just acquired.
Awesome Buy!

I was wary about getting this as I kept seeing people say that it only keeps things lukewarm and I prefer my coffee/tea just shy of scalding. However, this product is my new best friend. As long as you start with a cup of something HOT it will stay that way - especially when your drink gets near the bottom. Sometimes if i start with a cup that isn't pipping hot, I just put an old CD case over the top and it will heat up a little more , but its not as good as when you start with something hot. Also, I found if you turn it right before you go fix your coffee, its starts keeping the heat quicker/better. All in all, great product when used as it was created for - maintaining heat, not as a hot plate.
Keeps My Coffee Hot!
By Alexandria Buchholz (North Dakota)
I was expecting this to keep my coffee and other drinks warm BUT it keeps it hot! I have to blow on my coffee or hot chocolate before I take a drink. I can walk away and come back an hour later and it is still hot! I love this thing! I'm sooooo glad I bought this!
Good Coffee Warmer
By Drift7
Bought a few of these warmers from my local massive supermarket because I needed them quick. Payed a few dollars more. Had experience with a coffee warmer before and loved it, but as you know, they always make stuff better in the old days. I did not think at 17w that it would be as good as the one I remember. But I bought a few to try them anyway. I work at a coffee shop, and we have quite a few people that drink straight coffee, and can not drink it fast enough to keep it warm. I have used mine non stop while here for my coffee.
I don't know if people are usually in a hurry and want this thing to heat up their cold cup of coffee or what. But my coffee starts at about 160-180 depending how long it has been in the airpot. And though I have not tested it for temperature yet, for me even after two hours it is Perfect drinking temperature, If I had to guess it is 120-130. If you drink your coffee 160 or above, and keep the same coffee to sip on all day, get a flipping thermos. If you like luke hot coffee to drink, this thing is for you. Start with hot coffee, and enjoy. It will not heat up a cold cup of coffee, but will definitely keep a warm cup warm enough to be happy to drink.
I am pleased with it, and at 17watts, I have multiple bulbs on right now that draw five times that. So wattage is nothing.
If I can get around to it, I will measure the temp in a few hours. Also, if you are keeping the same cup of coffee on it all day, refresh the cup man, having something always heating up your coffee will either kill the flavor or if you have cream in it, it will start to make it rancid. Because keep in mind the temperature at which you drink coffee can grow bacteria. Nothing to be worried about, but something to think about if you have the same coffee sitting at 120 all day in the open air. :)
Updated: Forgot about my coffee, with a 10oz glass mug with about 3oz of coffee in it. Temp was 110 after at least three hours. So even though I refreshed my cup after that, I am happy with the heat it puts out :)
