Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer for Coffee and Tea Portable Cup Warmer for Travel Office Desks and Home Black | Gifts for Teachers

This mug warmer works well. I use it every morning and keeps my coffee at a good drinkable temperature while I read the news and do my morning routine. The bottom of the mug does get a bit hot, so be careful, but other than that no complaints. The cable is sufficiently long to place the warmer on your desk or table. I really enjoy this warmer and recommend it.

I had a very nice Christmas (thanks for asking!), and I got lots of nice gifts. But the best gift of all that I received was the smallest item of them all. Mr Coffee Mug Warmer, take a bow... Truly, this mug warmer* really has changed the quality of my life significantly over the last few weeks. Now, you might read that statement and think, 'wow, your life must really suck for it to be possible for a mug warmer to make it better'. But no, my life doesn't suck. I just really, really like hot tea. You see, I work at home. And I don't have any work colleagues to shoot the s*** with - so, to keep me on my toes, I use caffeine. Lots and lots of caffeine. But, much as I like caffeine (delivered through the medium of tea and, of course, it's more sultry sister, coffee), I get very sad when it goes cold. Indeed, taking a swig of cold tea or coffee is about as pleasant an experience as, say, getting smacked in the face with a wet pair of underpants (we've all been there, right?) Anyway, so I got this mug warmer and I switched it on and, lo and behold, there are no more such unpleasant moments in my life anymore (until someone turns up with a pair of wet underpants anyway). One of the small but incredibly irritating daily occurrences that I had come to think was inescapable has now been resolved! (Yes, things can actually get better!) So now, when I am distracted by a Skype call or any other task and so have to abandon my tea for 20 or 30 minutes, I can now confidently return to it knowing that it will still be piping hot (or very warm at least) and utterly satisfying. In other words, this mug warmer product delivers the goods and then some. The tyranny of cold tea has been defeated. And the misery of having to trudge downstairs to heat it back up in the microwave is no more. (Heck, at this rate I might never need to move from my office chair again - progress, eh?) But seriously, if you want a cheap mug warmer that keeps your drink at approximately the same temperature as you prepared it at, then this warmer will do the job nicely. I leave it on all day (yes, us home workers are total rebels, didn't you know?) and it has paid for itself many, many times over by now. *One thing that I have to say is that, while brilliant, this product is NOT a 'warmer' - i.e. it does not *warm* your drink up at all. Rather, it *maintains* your drink at approximately the same temperature as you prepared it at and for a good length of time. For example, if I prepare a cup of tea (which I am about to go an do, by the way), and put it on the warmer, it'll keep it at the same temperature - with only a very slight loss of heat - for up to an hour and beyond. As a voracious tea drinker, I've never actually let a mug linger long enough to see if there is indeed a point at which it will lose all heat. So surely that's a good sign, no? Bottom line: how can you call yourself a serious fan of hot drinks and not own this product? Shame on you! SHAME! Update (2 weeks later): bonus feature detected! If you are like me in that you tend to spill drinks and in the process your mug tends to drip with coffee a lot, you are going to love this... This mini hot plate warmer will sizzle all drippage away instantly once you place your mug down on it, meaning that you can also avoid any future coffee stains on your table. Then all you need do is wipe the warmer clean once it is turned off / cooled down (unless of course you're like me and you don't care). Score!

I own 3 of these (for different rooms in my house) and they work great! Simple to use (you flip the on/off switch) and it keeps my tea to the PERFECT drinkable (not too hot, not too cool) temperature for me. It doesn’t have the fancy features of some of the other options out there (no auto shut-off, no temp selection) but I recently tried another brand that DID have those features and still much prefer this one. The other one’s coolest temp kept my tea too cold and all the others made it too hot so I kept having to turn it on and off. This one I can just leave on the whole time I’m using it to keep something warm and the temp remains consistent until the drink is almost gone. Other reviews ARE correct regarding the paint scratching off the heating plate…one of my 3 warmers has a LOT of scratching after 8 years of use (the others a little) but it doesn’t affect function, just looks. **I’ve only ever had to replace one of these (just this week) and the issue was caused by a very specific scenario so it’s worth warning others: do not put FROZEN drinks on this device (or anything else wet), even when it is off.** I had set a bottle of water that had been partially frozen on top of it (with the device off) because I’d misplaced my normal coaster and didn’t want the condensation on the outside of the bottle to drip onto my nightstand. I started hearing a sizzling sound, as if the warmer was on, and noticed the red light was glowing despite it being in the “off” position. I assume some of that condensation must have dripped down through the on/off switch and caused a short. The device stopped working after that, and this could be a potential safety hazard. But should be avoidable if you just don’t put ice cold drinks or other wet things on it. I can overlook any of the other cons of this device due to how effectively this keeps my drink at the perfect temp compared to other brands, but I took off one star for this issue because it IS a potential safety issue, even if it is only likely to occur during an unintended use-case (since I could see a lot of people not thinking it would be an issue to use it as a coaster while off). Overall it has worked great and unless I find another one that actually heats to the correct temp (so far I haven’t), this is the brand I’ll keep using, regardless of the cons. Since there’s no point in having extra features if a drink warmer doesn’t actually warm my drink properly. This one does. Will update this review if that ever changes. —— **Pros** - It’s straightforward to use. Just an on-off switch. - It’s reliable. I’ve only had to replace one of these 3 I own after 8 years (due to getting water in it). - Doesn’t over-heat the surface it’s on (won’t damage wood) and concerns about mild heating (like if it’s above a desk drawer containing stuff that shouldn’t be heated) can be mitigated by placing it on a tile coaster or something. - The sides of the device don’t get too hot to touch, only the heating plate in the center. - Doesn’t require only flat-bottom mugs. - Doesn’t take up a ton of space compared to some other options while still being big enough for multiple mug sizes (all but my largest/huge mug). - It’s the only one I’ve tried that ACTUALLY keeps my tea the perfect drinkable temperature (warm without burning my tongue). I admit I weighted the pros of this feature heavier in my rating, since regardless of any extra features or other pros and cons, a mug warmer is somewhat pointless if it can’t do this. **Cons** - Paint can scratch off the heating plate but this doesn’t affect function, only looks. - It can make drinks that are almost empty a bit too hot. I turn it off once my mug is at that point. - No auto shut-off or temp control features. - The surface that it’s on does get slightly warm. Not so much that it’s damaged any of the wood surfaces I’ve had it on, but I did notice it melted some Aquaphor in the desk drawer of my nightstand (must have been directly under it) so you may want to place a tile coaster under it if using in this setting. - This device is NOT a good option for someone who wants something that can double as a coaster for an ice cold drink when off (due to the safety risk posed by condensation dripping into the switch), but if you don’t plan to use it for that, it should be fine.

This is the second time I have purchase this Coffee Mug Warmer. I actually gave my old one away to someone else who really needed it for the day. I told them to keep it and I purchased myself this one again. This thing last forward and can handle the accidental spills. It's easy to wipe down and durable. I have purchased others, newer, cuter versions of a mug warmer and I have gone back to this one due to it's durability. Function is simple, just an one and off switch. Keep my beverage hot all day and the size is perfect for a desk.

It keeps your mug and its contents warm, but turn it on ahead of time because it takes a bit to warm itself up. It's Mr. Coffee, so I expected a little bit more in terms of quality. I have used it a few days and the paint on the hotplate is beginning to chip off. I used just ceramic mugs, so this is clearly a defect in manufacturing. Update: there is no auto-off function. I accidentally left it on overnight with no mug on it, and I returned to find it still on.

Si buscas un calentador para taza, por mucho esta es la mejor opción, sobre todo si amas tomar café, té o cualquier bebida caliente en general. Tengo casi año y medio, y puedo confirmar que sigue funcionando a la perfección, mantiene caliente mi bebida usando cualquier taza (de cerámica obvio) con un tamaño promedio. Incluso ya se me ha caído 2 o 3 veces del escritorio (claramente no lo recomiendo jajaja) y ni así dejó de funcionar bien. El cable considero es lo suficientemente largo, mide más de metro y medio. El único detalle es que el recubrimiento en la base se pierde con relativa facilidad conforme a su uso pero no afecta en nada, por el precio es aceptable. EXCELENTE CALENTADOR :D

Love this little gadget! It keeps my coffee warm for hours without overheating it. Super easy to use — just plug it in and set your mug down. It’s compact, affordable, and works exactly as advertised. Perfect for my desk while workikeepng. Highly recommend for any coffee lover
