ikago Smart Temp Control Coffee Mug Warmer Set, Best Birthday Gifts for Women&Men, Gift for Mother's&Father's Day/Birthday/Office Desk

I tried 4 warmers over 4 weeks ranging from $20 to $99 and this is indisputably the best. You can adjust the temp by degree (154 for me) and it stays warm and fresh all morning. With the cup on it is elegant looking. As designer, when the cup is off, I do find the logo and warning symbol a bit garish (MAKER: consider steel grey to match the body for a more subtle look), but do appreciate the attached velcro for cord bundling. The beep IS a tad loud, but for perfect coffee all day, with no degradation of flavor, this is near perfection. Buy it.

It's so rewarding to find a company that not only produces an excellent product but also provides sterling customer service. I've purchase numerous cup warmers over the years, because I'm an avid tea drinker. But they all disappointed me because they take the hot cup of tea you place on them and are not able to keep that same hotness. But not with the Ikago. For the first time ever, I was able to place a hot cup of tea, on a cup warmer, and hours later it maintained that same level of hotness. I was astonished. This Ikago cup warmer even had the capacity to heat my tea even hotter. And as much as I like very hot tea, I had to lower the heat setting to keep it at that perfect level for me. Now, I read all the reviews, as I usually do before I make a purchase; and the common concern was the unit beeps each time you put the cup on it or take it off. I thought, well that may not be an issue for me; but it was. I simply sent an email to the company and told them my concern. And this is what blew me away. They put up no fuss but expressed concern, and let me know how much they value me as a customer; then immediately sent me out a brand new unit, with improved technology, that eliminates the excessive beeps. Now, I have an exciting, technologically and visually impressive cup warmer that does exactly what I need it to do. My family was even excited about dad's new cup warmer. If this company does this right, with this kind of care for their customers, I'm gladly going to highly recommend this product, and the company behind it. I'm also going to explore their other products. That's just how impressed I am. I can't imagine anyone looking any further, once you have this Ikago cup warmer.

This is the second warmer I've purchased. It works very well at keeping drinks at the desired temperature. Lots of the cheaper models barely keep drink like warm, but this model is a big step up. It will not only keep it hot, but will heat your drink if it's below temp.That being said, it really works better if you get the model with the included mug. Normal mugs work, just not as well: it usually reads a different temp when not in the ikago mug.There's one big annoyance though, and the reason I took away a star: it beeps when you put your mug down, it beeps when you pick your mug up. It beeps when you turn it on also. Funny thing is the first warmer I bought that included the mug doesn't beep when picking up or putting down mug, only when it's turned on.For those reasons I'd recommend the few extra dollars for the model with the mug.

In the winter time, I use a desktop coffee warming coaster to keep a mug of water warm so I can occasionally hold the cup to warm my hands. While any mug will work on most coffee warmers, the heat exchange is improved when there's more surface area connecting the mug to the warmer. THIS mug more than doubles this touching surface area making it highly conductive. Top it with the lid and the heating efficiency improves even more. I've been able to reduce the temperature of my warmer and still this mug is warmer than any other one I've tried. Highly recommend.

Update 2023-01-20:ikago has listened to us, and created a new version of this cup warmer. They've dramatically reduced how often it beeps, how loud the beep is, and even reduced how long each beep lasts. It now only beeps when you first turn it on and change the settings, and those beeps are much more reasonable in a typical office environment. It might still be noisy for some really quiet situations or particularly noise-sensitive people, but I thik it fits into a normal home or office environment just fine now. The new version works just as well as previously -- they've dramatically improved the only complaint I and most others have. This is without a doubt the best mug warmer on the market now.I modified my original model -- silicone glue in the mouth of the speaker module didn't help, but a squirt of hot glue in the hole did.Original:The adjustability and accuracy of this mug warmer is really a delight. I'm a recent convert from vacuum-insulated tumblers for my morning coffee. I don't make my coffee until I get to the office, so a desktop solution for hot drinks works just fine for me.Unfortunately, as wonderful as the aesthetic design and functionality are, this warmer is totally unacceptable in an office environment. The beep when you turn it on, set the temp, and lift or replace your mug, is WAY too loud. It's louder than most people have their cell phone notifications set in an office setting.I think I'm going to have to desolder the speaker. It's not particularly easy to open this thing up -- it's held together by two different sizes of screws, and strong plastic clips. It's hard to move the circuit board -- there are two springs holding it to the case behind the display, and I didn't see an obvious hook to release them. This thing is definitely not built with mods and repairs in mind. But there's something that looks an awful lot like a piezo speaker under the left side of the board (right side when it's assembled). I tried putting a dab of silicone glue in the opening, but that doesn't seem to have helped much. Next step is to desolder it. Otherwise, I'll never be able to keep using this thing at work.As an aside, the internal build quality looks pretty good. It isn't grounded, but the live wires are nicely shielded, and the whole body is non-conductive, so it looks quite safe to this amateur.
