Hot Beverages Via USB: The USB Coffee Warmer

Tweet

It's a well known fact that quite a lot of people - especially those working in an office - start their working days with a good mug of hot coffee, which they savor either together with their colleagues, or within their own office, while reading the latest news in front of their computer. However, by the time they're done reading and they really want to start working, their coffee is already cold. Well, there are several solutions available to the displeased office worker, and one of them, which we'll proudly review today, is the USB Coffee Warmer. This particular type of USB-powered device is quite widespread and is manufactured by several companies (mostly China based, go figure!), the one we've tested coming from a company called Reflects - Konda (never heard of it, probably will never hear from it again). Since there are so many models available out there, it must be quite popular, although this device is nothing more than an office gadget with a limited functionality (by that meaning that it's capable of carrying out just out one function, although it's pretty good at it). It can be used for keeping warm a variety of beverages, from coffee to tea to whatever you might think of, as you will see later on. So, what is there to say about such a device? First of all, let's have a look at its.... Design and overall look The USB Coffee Warmer looks OK, the colors of the plastic body and USB cable matching the metallic gray of the hotplate. The thing that I really liked about this device is that it doesn't look cheap (well, except for the On/Off button, which is not particularly appealing), mainly due to the quality of the plastic and of the finishing. Moreover, it has quite a smart design, from the point of view of usability, featuring 2 lateral grip areas, as well as 4 rubber legs, which allow it to be quite stable on any flat surface. source : news.softpedia.com
