Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Coffee MWBLK Mug Warmer
Customer Review: OK if you like to drink lukewarm brew
Summary: 2 Stars
If you want your beverage to remain as hot as when you poured it into the cup, look elsewhere. The Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer keeps hot coffee warm, not hot, even if it was too hot to drink when you initially poured it. If I don't finish a cup within 15 minutes, the liquid steadily loses heat and settles in on a temperature in which I could bathe a newborn. In fact, I can lift the cup off the burner and hold it in my palm without burning my skin. I realize it's winter, but it's not like I can see frost on my breath in my house. I purchased two and neither meets my expectations, so if you like to drink your coffee hot, that almost-too-hot-but-just-right feeling on the lips, you will probably be disappointed.
For coffee lovers who enjoy drinking less scorch-worthy brew, there are a few things you can do to help maintain reasonable warmth:
1) Preheat the mug warmer. It takes nearly a full minute for it to become warm to the touch. (Note that neither burner from the warmers I purchased ever got too hot to touch, and water drops flicked onto the surface evaporated without fanfare--no sizzle there.) If you place your hot cup on a cold burner and then turn it on, your coffee loses heat for that minute. Obviously.
2) Temper your mug with boiling water so when you place it on the burner, is as hot as possible. If you pour coffee into cold ceramic, you might be disappointed with the temperature, especially as you get halfway through.
3) If you use cream or milk, consider preheating the dairy, as pouring cold into hot obviously drops the temperature, and you will be challenging the warmer even further. I don't take my coffee with cream, but for my partner, I preheat the mug, add dairy, nuke for 10 seconds, place the mug on the warmer, and add hot coffee.
When I do the prep work, my first cup is the best, and it stays the way I like it until I have consumed half. But that's where the joy ends. I would think less volume would stay hotter, but that isn't the case here. No matter what, the coffee begins to cool the moment it is poured. Thus, I am still forced to drink more quickly than I would like.
For my drinking pleasure (and less risk of fire hazard), I will stick with the Thermos (Nissan) 14-oz. Insulated Travel Mug for coffee and the Thermos (Nissan) 12-oz. Tea Tumbler with Infuser for tea, both of which keep the liquid at *exactly* the same temperature at which it was poured. To be sure, an insulated mug is not the same experience as drinking from a ceramic cup, but I have been using the coffee travel mug daily for almost 8 years, and it keeps liquids *hot* for hours. (Plus, it has a carabiner on the handle, so I can clip it to my backpack and take it hiking and enjoy a piping hot cup of coffee on a cold, windy mountaintop.)
