5.0 out of 5 stars Get it - I do not know how I didn't find this SOONER.
I have been monkeying around with several different heat pads and just not getting the results of hotter than warm coffee. The problem is I like to drink from ceramic and glass mugs but the ceramic mugs have the hollowed out bottoms so not enough contact with the pad; flat bottom glass mugs work better but are fragile. I finally broke down and sepnt more money and got this stainless steel mug - it ROCKS. I can actually dial in the temperature on the base as well! I figured out I like it right around 155-158 temperature is just perfect. the handle stays cool so no problem, and the stainless cup is actually really easy to keep clean, generally just rinse when you are done the last drop and before any remaining coffee dries out. I've actually has to turn this off a few times now becasue it is a bit too hot...... Never have I done that with my previous 3 pads.Update 2 months later: I STILL LOVE THIS AND BOUGHT 2 MORE MUGS for when I have guests.The coffee actaully stays hot in these mugs without the warmer, for quite a while. Almost as if the heat goes into the steel, then is released back into the coffee! THESE MUGS ROCK! The steel is burnng hot but handle isn't. And the wrap is obviously helping to insulate as well. The wrap is even VERY warm, but not burning hot. Drinking coffee out of stainless? I am over it....the way the steel lips is rounded feels perfectly fine, you don't even know it is steel. THE BEST.Another update: If you are still reading....BUY THIS, it is simply awesome, life changing : ) I do not have to worry about cold coffee..yech....and probably paid for itself by not haveing to reheat with the microwave so many times!
5.0 out of 5 stars Works GREAT!
Not only does this item look sleek & expensive but it actually works to keep my coffee hot so I no longer have to drink a cup so fast before it gets cold. Great for keeping a cup of tea hot as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars This item works well
I bought the gravity induction version, so some of my comments apply to the gravity induction feature.I was initially confused when the item didn't turn on when I pushed the power button. Try putting a cup of coffee, tea, or soup on the heater before you push the power button. If that doesn't work make sure the heater isn't sitting on a cord or other item and is on a flat surface. This cup warmer will not turn on if there is no cup on the heating plate. Several times now the unit refused to turn on when there was a cup of coffee on the heater. In every case a power cord had worked its way under the unit, and it worked when the cord was removed. Check for that sort of thing if your warmer doesn't turn on.You can select from a large range of temperatures. Very nice.It seems the industry is using the term "gravity induction" for these items. This seems dishonest to me. It may be technically correct, but I have an induction stove, and associate the term induction with that type of technology. To me it implies you are getting some remarkable technology that you are not getting. When used for these devices it means it has a weight activated switch.When you lift the cup off of the heater the lights start blinking. It does not actually turn off immediately. When you put the cup back on the device the lights will stop blinking and heating is resumed. It will turn off if the cup is removed for a long period of time. I have not found that this is a problem.I will say that I see no purpose in the "gravity induction" feature if you can remember to turn the unit off when you are done with it; it will only be a source of problems. I don't believe it turns the heater off when you remove the cup and turns the unit on again when the cup is replaced. I believe it only turns the unit off if the cup is removed for a longer period of time. You don't really want the heater to be turned off when the cup is temporarily removed. The heater is a very low powered one. It is powered by USB after all. When the unit is first turned on you can watch the heat slowly climb up to the temperature you set.I have found two brands of cups that work well with the Cosori beverage warmer. There are advantages and disadvantages with both.The Cosori stainless steel cups are well made and look nice. I use coffee creamer and do not fill the cup clear to the top. The cup rim has not burned my lips. I believe these should be dishwasher safe. But the coffee cools very quickly when not on the warmer. I drink half a cup at a table with no warmer before going to a place where I have access to a warmer. So I consider this to be a problem. The Cosori will warm a cold cup of coffee however. The Cosori cup is a light cup and the unit will not turn on if there is only a little coffee in the cup. The gravity switch is on the bottom of the unit toward the back, so moving the cup toward the back of the heating plate helps a little.The Howay cups are a flat bottomed ceramic cup with a steel plate on the bottom. Your beverage will stay warm much longer in this cup. It is made for coffee warmers. It does have a wood handle, so I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. Because of my habits the Howay cups work better for me. These cups are heavy enough to activate the unit when there is no coffee in the cup.Heating efficiency of these units depends on the design of the cups used. The Howay cups need a higher heater temperature than the Cosori cups to achieve the same coffee temperature. Mixing cup types means you would have to keep changing the heater temperature to achieve the beverage temperature you want. I would recommend selecting one cup type and sticking with that.
4.0 out of 5 stars Brewing temp not as crucial as Serving Temp
Barristos & coffee websites expound at length on the ideal coffee beans, roasting & brewing. Finding info on serving temp appears to be something that, with rare exception, none have thought of: SERVING TEMP, the most important of all! Research shows the ideal for most is 136 degrees F (57.8 degrees C); HOT coffee stifles the taste buds, leaving scalding water with sweeteners and added flavorings, not good coffee. (I grind City (dark) Roast Guatemalan beans.) And this 110/220V Codori warmer is the first serving temp maintener I've had that enables fine-tune control. Cosori's stainless cup, however, is an enormous flop! Smells like the rubber decoration is made from recycled tires! Beyond that, stainless steel imparts a metallic taste to good coffee. A non-starter. The REAL DISAPPOINTER: Cosori doesn't (yet) offer the 110/220V without their steel cup! I was going to order 4 more for gifts. Not until I can get free shipping ($49 plan) without their yukki steel cup!Cosori should provide decent instructions. I didn't buy mine until I saw a reviewer who knew how to turn off the gravity switch. (I have my warmer on an uneven (ripply) slate surface side table.As for ceramic cups with a slight concave bottom, that is the ultimate solution. I started at that temp on the warmer and found that I had to increase the temp on the Cosori to 105°C for the best temp for me. Haven't measured the actual coffee temp for that setting but I'm guessing the coffee maintains at about 60°C. Love it--and I keep my favorite ceramic mug.I've only used it a couple of days so I can't address durability. Looks far better and easier to operate than my old one. The surface of this appears that it might not rust if a drop or two is spilled and wiped up (like my old one). Easy to set temp. Also unlike my old one with a dim red "on" light; I can tell when this warmer is on (red LED) or off (white LED).
EXCELENTE !
super practico! mi jefe feliz, para que su cafe permanezca a buena temperatura y lo sirva directo a en su taza en escritorio
Great unit
Opened in great condition, no issues.Read the instructions, twice, as there are some quirky operating aspects with this unit. Its not intuitive.I fully tested all the features, and they all work correctly in accordance with the instructions.It works perfectly as per the manual. Such as, you have to have enough weight on the heating pad to make the unit work at all or to even just adjust the temperatures up or down. The cup has to be heavy enough to operate the controls. If your cup gets too light in weight as you drink, and the cup with contents weight drops below the minimum weight, the unit will stop heating.I use it for keeping my butter soft in winter. My butter dish weighs more than the minimum, so the unit will operate even if empty.Its the only unit I could find that was this small, therefore has the lowest electricity usage, therefore the lowest long term operating cost. Its the only one with a low operating temperature that you can set by 1 degree from 25C-90C. It specifically starts to operate at 25C up to almost boiling. Butter is soft at 25-29C, and starts to melt at 30-32C. If you have a small amount of butter (mass), then I can set it at 25C and the butter is soft, but not mushy, or melted. But if you add butter, 1 cup, then I need to increase the indicated temperature to 29C. to compensate for the increase of mass. It takes about 15-30 minutes to get fully soft from a cold start at 18C (morning house temperature) and it has to heat up the butter dish and ceramic top. Works perfectly. I get up in the morning to let the dog out, I turn the unit on by touching the red button on the way by to the door. Look after the dog, start coffee, start breakfast, butter is now soft enough by the time the toast pops. Perfect. Shuts off around 2pm 8 hours later. Need to turn it back on when I start working on supper. Its ready to go when I need it, soft spreadable butter. Shuts off automatically again in 8 hrs if I forget to turn it myself. If I don't use it during the weekend, its off automatically saving electricity. Perfect. Almost all the complaints I have read about this unit is due to folks not reading the instructions or following the instructions properly that they have read.I also plan to use it for keeping my bread dough bowl warm during the rise. Set for 30C. Heat my ceramic bowl with hot water, dry, grease/butter the inside, then place it on the COSORI heat element at 30C. Drop my dough into the bowl to rise. The bowl bottom matches the same size as the COSORI heat element face. Perfect.I also liked that the cord was not a full 110V cord, but a 12V cord coming from a transformer unit that I plug into the top of my stove. The wire easily tucks behind the unit , down the wall behind the stove, almost invisible while the unit is on the kitchen counter beside the toaster. If I want to unplug it, the 12v plug comes out of the back like a laptop. Wash it, clean it, wipe it easily with no cord, then plug it back in at the toaster where it sits. Perfect.I can't believe they don't market it just for this purpose. In Canada this is almost always an issue, hard butter in winter. I now don't have to wait until summer or travel south of Mobile, Alabama to have soft butter for breakfast.
Quality build
Excellent product, does what it says.
Came with US plug
Great purchase and does exactly what it needsmy only complaint is that now i have to buy a UK supported plug because i hate using adapters everywhere!If only the design of the plug would be such that you can swap the plug head with different ones....
AWESOME PRODUCT.
A must have for those who generally have long sittings on a table. I really didn't expect that it'd improve my productivity that drastically. Really convenient and super user friendly. The quality of the material used is also best.
