A morning cup of coffee (or tea) is, for many, the best start to the day. But after three back-to-back Zoom meetings, your piping hot drip loses its pep, and there is nothing worse than halfway hot coffee. This is where mug warmers come to save the day.
To be honest, at first I was skeptical of yet another unnecessary device to add to my growing kitchen collection. But after two weeks of sipping perfectly hot coffee, my mug warmer has become my new, ever-reliable, best friend. The one work from home device that I don’t know how I lived without. When looking for a mug warmer, the goal is to find one that is true to its name and will really keep your beverage toasty, as well as being compact enough to sit next to your laptop, aesthetically pleasing, and if you’re a true aficionado, has temperature control options.
Put down your drinks (on your heaters, of course) and scroll to see the 5 best mug warmers that have kept us sipping all quarantine long.
