Technical details
USB Cup Warmer for Coffee & Tea
This electric mug warmer plugs into any USB port and keeps your coffee or tea at a comfortable drinking temperature on your desk. It features a smart auto-off function and a touch-sensitive switch. The warming plate is designed for standard mugs and cups. Not intended to heat cold beverages from scratch - it maintains warmth, it does not boil. Check that your mug has a flat bottom for proper contact with the plate.
The Real Difference
Your Tea, Still Warm on the Third Sip
You know that feeling - you brew a lovely cup, get distracted for ten minutes, and come back to something lukewarm and sad. Well now, that little heartbreak is over, dear. This USB mug warmer sits quietly on your desk and keeps your coffee or tea at just the right temperature, so every sip feels like the first one. Believe me, once you have it, you wonder how you managed without.
What Makes It Work
Smart Warmth, Simple Touch Control
Mind you, this is not a gadget that tries to do too much. It plugs straight into a USB port - your laptop, your desk hub, whatever you have handy - and a simple touch switch gets it going. The smart auto-off function means you are not left worrying if you stepped away. It works with standard mugs that have a flat bottom, so your favourite everyday cup is almost certainly a good fit.
Picture This
Morning Ritual, Warm from First Sip to Last
There you are at your desk, a good cup of tea steaming beside you, the day just starting. You answer a few emails, drift into a task, and hold on now - your cup is still warm when you reach for it twenty minutes later. No microwave, no fuss, no that-slightly-boiled-again taste. Just your drink, kept exactly where you left it, temperature-wise. That is the whole lovely point of a good cup warmer.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
Will this actually heat up a cold cup of coffee or tea?
Between you and me, no - and that is worth knowing before you buy. This warmer is designed to maintain the temperature of an already-hot drink, not to heat something cold from scratch. Start with a freshly brewed cup and it will keep it lovely and warm for you.
What do I need to plug it into?
It runs on USB power, so any USB port will do - your laptop, a desk hub, a USB wall adapter. No special outlet needed, which is rather convenient if your desk is already a tangle of cords, let me tell you.
Does it turn off on its own if I forget about it?
Yes, and that is one of the things I like about it. The smart auto-off function takes care of that for you, so you are not sitting there at dinner wondering if you left something on. A small thing, but a reassuring one.
Will my favourite mug work with it?
Most standard mugs will work just fine, as long as the bottom is flat so it sits properly on the warming plate. If your mug has an uneven or rounded base, the contact may not be great. Worth a quick check before you get too attached to the idea.
How do I turn it on and off?
There is a touch-sensitive switch - no buttons to fumble with, which is a nice touch. A gentle tap gets it going, and another tap switches it off. Simple as that, honey. No instruction manual required.

With over 60 years of experience in the world of tea, we are happy to share our expertise with you.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
