Warms great, but be aware of the following...
This warmer works very well in the "warming" department, but before purchasing, be aware of the following:
- the cord is very short, so you will probably need an extension cord.
- the on/off switch is located half way down the cord, so you have to reach for it a bit... It would be much better if the on/off switch was on the warmer unit itself.
- the bottom "feet" are made of hard plastic, so it "slides" on hard surfaces and can scratch your furniture. It would be much better if it had rubber feet.
Other than that, it's a nice product.
This one works!
I read a ton of reviews for all the different cup warmers. None of them seemed to work. This one does. The drinks stay hot, but not as hot as when they were first brewed, of course. At least they aren't lukewarm. The cup gets hot too so be careful. I even use it for my 32 oz Bodum press tea pot. I set the pot right on the burner and my tea stays warm enough to enjoy for hours - not scalding, but between warm and hot.
You have to start with hot liquid. It will not heat cold or lukewarm drinks. The bottom of the cup has to fit flat on the hot plate. Without full contact, you will lose the heat. A super thick cup won't keep the liquid as hot as a thinner one. I tried my 3/8" thick glass latte cup, but it stayed only lukewarm. My regular cermaic and glass coffee and tea mugs work perfectly. The wider the bottom of the cup, the better. A pedastle cup has less surface contact so less heat is transferred to the cup.
There's an on and off roller switch on the cord...
Cup Warmer - awsome
I previously had revewied this product. It had arrived late and a bit defective but it worked great. Low and behold, and much to my suprise, the company had read my review and within days, sent a replacement with their apologies. This one was perfect and I use it all day long. Keeps my coffee hot, hot, hot. I am bowled over by a company who cares so much that they read their own customers' reviews and act upon any negatives. They get a TEN in my book. Great cup warmer. I recommend highly!
