Emotional support tea
Some cup warmers are pretty big fire hazard, because they only have a simple pressure switch they can easily fall behind a table and stay on and burn stuff
I keep 3-4 cups at work…
One short stout thermal mug that won’t tip over when I forget where it is and hit it.
1-2 narrower thermal mugs (in case I forget one at home) that will fit in my car cup holders to transfer any tea I forgot to finish at the end of the day. Or just for a fresh road cup.
One ceramic mug to reheat in the microwave any that I left too long in the steeper or with the lid off the thermal mug.
I recently started using my travel mug even when at home. Keeps it warm enough to drink for several hours and has a lid for when i inevitably knock it over.
I bought an Ember Mug and despite it being pretty pricey I haven’t regretted it one bit.
My partner and I got one each. She stopped using hers so now I have one on charge all the time.
Also! If your charging base contact pins get sticky and corroded, a spray of WD-40 and some light poking fixes them right up, and seems to delay further issues.
Thank you for reminding me I still haven’t bought a new water bottle after I lost my last one!
Get a Sigg WMB ONE. It comes in different plain colors as well, different sizes, and thermos versions. It’s the best water bottle line I have found.
Put it in a Yeti, problem solved. Those cupwarmers are neat tho
Oh man I have two of those and the other day I took a sip of chunky coffee because it was the week old one that I forgot about.
If you have any sugar in your drink (including: milk, fruit tea) you need to rinse it out daily or you will get a rotten stank/flavor that doesn’t seem to wash out.
To get rid of it, you just need to remove any seals and soak everything in warm water with a little denture cleaner or oxi-clean. I usually just put the gaskets inside the cup with a little cleaner, set the lid on, and fill it until it just starts to overflow. This will also remove any tea/coffee stains and you can use those to gauge whether it has soaked long enough.
If a smell doesn’t wash out of your glasses and cups it means they’re either made of semiporous materials and you need new ones before you’re poisoned or there’s crevices with rotting debris in them… And you need to clean them out before you’re poisoned.
