To say that I drink a lot of coffee is on some days an understatement. I used to drink a lot of soda, but when I realized what it was doing to my body, I had to find another way to get the caffeine that I craved without adding all of those empty calories to my daily intake. Though there are a few calories associated with coffee, it is far better for me than all of the soda I was drinking. In a perfect world I would be wide awake all day and drink only water, but I don’t see that happening any time soon. On cooler days I need a way to keep the coffee in my cup warm, so I have gone out and bought a mug warmer.
I always thought buying a mug warmer meant that I was too serious about my coffee, and that meant that I had turned into my mother. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I was not ready for that image. Instead, I found a way to keep my coffee warm. There is nothing more annoying than getting up every fifteen minutes to warm my coffee in the microwave. I use a large mug, so the mug warmer stops my coffee from cooling off to fast. I drink a lot of coffee, but I do tend to drink it rather slowly throughout the day.
I didn’t spend a lot of money on my mug warmer, so I do fear I may wear it out rather quickly. It sort of reminds me of the bottle warmer we had for my daughter when she was an infant. It does not work the same way, but I fear the mug warmer may wear out as fast. The bottle warmer worked very well, but it was only a matter of weeks before I had to buy a new one. It doesn’t seem to be very well made, but it was the only one I found. I suppose at the price I paid it won’t hurt to much to replace it.
A mug warmer might be a great gift for someone in your life who loves coffee or tea. If they live in an area where the weather turns cold for some months of the year. That is when a mug warmer might be the most appreciated. When it is cold outside there is always a chill in any home no matter how well the heating system might work. I know this is when I need my mug warmer the most.
