I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long (because yes, I'm one of those people that'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!). Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 30- and 60-minute configurations and six colors).īuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, 'After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. All in all, this is a fun and functional desk accessory!' - Angela Reiber

Honestly, this is a very small quibble that I could fix simply by not working in a dimly lit room, but it’s really the only critique I have. You can press the snooze button on top to light the display for about five seconds, but that’s not super convenient if you have it rotated in timer mode, plus you have to actively press the button rather than just glancing at how much time is left. My only suggestion would be an option for the display to stay backlit. Promising review: ' I love this timer to keep me on task while working from home! For the price, I was honestly impressed with the quality.

There are also four volume options in case you don't want to disrupt any other people in your home. You can set the timer for 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-minute blocks by rotating it to the time you want.
