It happens to almost everyone who drinks coffee at work. You pour a fresh cup, take two sips, answer one email, join one call, and when you reach for the mug again it's lukewarm.
Then comes the walk to the microwave. Then the wait at the microwave. Then the second reheat an hour later.
Why desk coffee goes cold so fast
A mug sitting on a desk loses heat from every direction: off the top, through the walls, and down into the desk. In an air-conditioned office, that happens even faster. And reheated coffee rarely tastes the way it did when it was first poured.
How a cup warmer helps
A cup warmer keeps a drink warm instead of rescuing it after it's gone cold. Set the mug on the plate and it holds temperature while you work.
The Heetz™ Cup Warmer is a compact plate that fits on just about any desk:
- Four heating modes: Pick the setting that suits coffee, tea, or whatever's in the mug.
- Works with most mugs: The flat heating surface fits a wide range of cups, including the one you'd never give up.
- Automatic shutoff: If you forget about it, it turns itself off.
- Doubles as a candle warmer: Warm a jar candle for scent in your workspace.
Getting the most out of it
- Use a flat-bottomed mug. Full contact with the plate transfers heat best.
- Cover the mug if you step away. Most heat escapes from the top.
- Start with a hot drink. A warmer is made to hold heat, not bring cold coffee back up to temperature.
A small gift that gets used every day
Some gifts end up in a drawer. A cup warmer tends to end up on the desk for good. It's an easy pick for coworkers, teachers, remote workers, or anyone whose tea is always going cold.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for tea too?
Yes. With four heating modes, you can choose a setting that suits tea, coffee, cocoa, or anything else.
What if I leave it on?
The automatic shutoff turns it off for you. It's still a good habit to switch it off at the end of the day.
What else pairs well with it?
If your hands run cold too, a Heetz™ Heated Desk Pad keeps them warm without having to hold the mug.
