This Mr. Coffee mug warmer makes a cozy gift, and it's only $17 right now
They don't need another candle: Piping hot java on demand is a present that will bring joy all the days of their lives.
We can't be the only ones who are getting a headstart on holiday gift shopping. There are just so many incredible deals to shop right now, especially before the hectic Black Friday rush begins. One of our favorite picks for tea and coffee lovers is an electric mug warmer and this one from Mr. Coffee keeps any hot beverage at just the right temperature from the first sip to the last. Best of all, though, it's down to just $17 on Amazon, so you won't have the break the bank to give the gift of forever-piping drinks to one of your favorite people this holiday season.
Say goodbye to that lukewarm cup of disappointment. This problem-solving gadget is here to heat things up.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
This warmer is only $20 at full price, but right now you can snag it for $17. While we have seen deeper discounts for this contraption, that was in July when we were more into iced coffee. As the temps go down, we expect the price to go up. Also, while it's on sale consider it a great holiday gift for that someone on your list who really needs a cup of coffee.
Why do I need this? 🤔
Tepid coffee just won't do. I adore my first cup of coffee in the morning. I think about it when I get into bed at night. Steaming hot, warming up my insides as it goes down the pipes. And I like lazing around as I cradle my mug, letting the morning gently unfold. But then the coffee cools off and I get a little irked. OK, maybe more than a little. So when a friend gushed to me about how this mug warmer changed her morning routine, I knew I had to check it out. The price tag seemed more than reasonable.
I'm at my computer 10-plus hours a day, and I need periodic hits of caffeine to keep me going. Now, instead of using a coaster, I just sit my mug down on this warmer and I know my beverage will stay consistently toasty. Sometimes I'll use it for my Lady Grey tea on days I'm feeling frisky.
This mug warmer is an easygoing little guy, with only an on/off switch and an indicator light telling you when your drink is hot — it takes less than two minutes to do its thing. I really appreciate its simplicity in this chaotic day and age. It has a nice long cord, easily wipes clean and is tiny enough to fit in a carry-on. Yes, I plan to bring it with me on vacation. That might sound a bit nuts, but hey, call me crazy. I'm hooked.
My family is all over this gizmo too. My kids use it to heat up their cocoa, and I've seen my husband sneak in his mug of Earl Grey on more than one occasion. It's just fun to use and makes you feel like you're doing something special for yourself. Self-care, I say!
What reviewers say 💬
Over 35,000 shoppers rave about how this electric mug warmer keeps coffee at just the right temperature.
Pros 👍
"I'm so glad I got one of these as I am full-time WFH and can now put whatever I want on my desk (things like this used to be banned in the office). I'm also a big coffee drinker and here in NY it's cold more than half the months out of the year. This thing really works and it heats up quickly! I can see heat coming from the glass as it keeps it consistently warm," raved one shopper.
This grandpa said, "It's 4pm and my breakfast coffee is still hot and drinkable. Does not overheat your coffee, but does keep it nice, hot and drinkable. I absolutely love it."
"First thing every morning, grab a cup of coffee and head to my computer," another fan wrote. "My coffee cup used to sit on my wooden desk while I was online. I’m not a slow drinker; however, I want every sip to be like the first. My coffee needed re-heating at half-cup level. I ordered the Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer out of frustration. It works! Last sip is equal to the first. Love it. Wish I had ordered it sooner."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers think this little gizmo could be better with a few adjustments.
"I've had this for over five years, use it daily, and it still works perfectly," wrote one shopper. "Keeps my coffee warm all morning. Just wish it was a little bit wider for my larger coffee cups. Otherwise, this thing is perfect and durable."
Another five-star reviewer added: "Only wish it would auto shut off and had a brighter 'on' light indicator."
This is a simple doodad doesn't mess with bells and whistles. It does one job and one job well: It keeps your beverage hot from the first sip to the last.
