Buying advice

Use a flat-bottom ceramic or glass mug — curved or vacuum mugs won't transfer heat well. Temperature-controlled models are worth it if you sip slowly over hours.

FAQ

Do mug warmers actually keep coffee hot?

Yes, they hold a steady warm temperature. They won't reheat cold coffee fast, but they stop it going cold.

What mug works best?

A flat-bottom ceramic mug. Travel mugs and rounded bottoms don't make good contact.
