6# Immersion heaters
This is another good way to keep your coffee hot. The heated rod is dunked inside your coffee mug to keep your brew from going cold. For this to work it must be plugged in, but just be wary you don’t burn yourself on one of these.
7# Warm your coffee mug
Your coffee gets cold as it absorbs the temperature of your coffee mug. This really sucks for coffee lovers who live in cold regions as the cold atmosphere can impact the temperature of both your mug and your coffee. Next time you prepare a coffee, try popping your coffee mug in the microwave for a quick minute. This will keep your mug hot and prevent heat loss when you pour coffee in the mug. Just dont burn yourself.
You can also choose to microwave your coffee. This is not best practice but if it’s just an instant coffee that went cold before you even got halfway to finishing it, you might try saving it by putting it in the microwave rather than wasting it and brewing a new one. Just be careful not to overheat it or it can alter the flavor.
8# Using a candle warmer
This is such a boujee way to heat your coffee. Simply place your coffee mug on the candle warmer and light the candle underneath. The heat from the candle will keep your coffee nice and warm. Just make sure you aren’t using a synthetic or plastic coffee mug as this is likely to melt and be aware that you may not be able to do this in the office as it could conflict with their workplace fire policy.
