Grab my favorite coffee mug warmer for 25% off in this Black Friday deal

The cold nights and cool mornings in winter naturally make me reach for a steaming mug of coffee or hot chocolate. It warms my fingers and my stomach – until the drink is half gone and I find myself rocking lukewarm china. After too much of that, I decided that a hot cup that stays warm is a small pleasure that I won’t give up.

Enter the Mr. Coffee mug warmer. Having something nearby to warm my hands during last year’s cold, gray Michigan winter in a drafty old house was a huge bonus. Since I bought it for $20, it was worth every penny of coffee enjoyment. Best of all, there’s currently 25% off as a Black Friday deal, bringing the price down to just $15.

Admittedly, my warmer shows some signs of wear after a year of intensive use. Some of the black finish on the heating element has broken off, exposing the bare metal underneath. It doesn’t feel like it’s built to withstand a ton of abuse, but I have no complaints after calling on its services for hours a day and for months at a time. If it eventually stops working, I’ll have no problem buying another one, whether it’s on sale or not.

I thought the mug warmer would get less play now that I’ve moved to Arizona, but I’ve still used it most days. Whether it’s a day with a low in the 20s or a low in the 60s, sometimes all I want is a hot drink that stays warm.
