Our verdict

A simple desk warmer that holds a mug of coffee or tea at drinking temperature with one switch and a long cord. It warms rather than heats, and there is no temperature setting.

Overview

Setting a mug on the plate and flipping the switch is all the operation there is: a low wattage element under the plastic top holds a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa at drinking temperature, and the indicator light shows when it is on. The long cord lets it reach an outlet from a desk or a side table.

A single switch and a light are the whole interface, so there is nothing to set and nothing to get wrong. It is a warmer, and the listing gives no plate temperature, so a cup that has already gone cold is not what it is for.

Who it's for

Slow drinkers at a desk, a reading chair or a bedside table get a plate that holds the mug warm for as long as the switch stays on. People who want a hot plate for cooking or a precise temperature setting will not find either in the listing.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Single on/off switch with indicator
  • Extended cord reaches distant outlets
  • Low wattage draw
  • Light enough to carry in a bag
Cons
  • No plate temperature listed
  • One mug at a time
  • Warming only, not a hot plate

Performance notes

Heat moves from the plate into the base of the mug by conduction, so a flat bottomed mug in full contact warms better than one with a rim or a foot that lifts it off the surface. The low wattage element offsets heat loss from the cup rather than adding much, so a full mug or one with a lid holds temperature longer than an open half cup.
