Coffee

Mug Warmer and Drink Cover Review

Temperature Regulators

Pierre was tired of his coffee going from the perfect temperature to cold in about 5 minutes so he went looking for some products to remedy this.  He'd already tried using these water filled temperature regulators, and while they do work, they are not always convenient and it's annoying hearing them clink in your glass every time you take a drink.

Coffee Scale

So he got a mug warmer and some drink covers to test out.  Both performed really well.  Since making the video, Pierre has said that the mug warmer will almost always heat his coffee to a temperature higher than he would normally drink it, so it is great for reheating something that has gone into the lukewarm zone on the coffee scale.
