Buy Yourself an Electric Mug Warmer
When you drink a hot drink, you want it to stay hot. Of course you do! You are a person with needs. Unfortunately, this will not happen – you cannot fight the second law of thermodynamics ; even if you fill the cup first, eventually the entropy will come to you. Eventually, you will take a sip of coffee or tea and feel a warm disappointment in yourself. If your 9:00 AM cup tastes like a new day full of promise, then your 10:15 AM scum reminds you that there are seven hours before you start drinking.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can spend a few dollars on an electric mug warmer to keep your drink warm as much as you want. You no longer need to reheat coffee in the microwave (gross) or empty it completely for a new cup (wasteful). Don’t get up again! If you’re in the throes of a busy day, you can focus on the tasks at hand, knowing that your drink is still hot and ready for you whenever you want to take a sip.
And the mug warmers are not the best: a small figure like the one above will cost me ten simoleons. It stands on my table, and at the moment when my coffee or tea starts to think that it needs a little warmth, I turn it on, put the mug on top and after a few minutes: hot coffee.
Alice, I’m sure you say. “I cannot put anything on the table with a heating element. I will definitely set everything on fire. ” Friend, I was once you. And then I accidentally left the cup warmer all night and … nothing happened. I do not recommend that you do this, but I feel that if I have not burned Gizmodo Media to the ground, you will be fine. I mean, don’t throw flammable oil rags on top of this thing before heading out for the night. It would be silly.
