CC, Tonggu Momma and Erica, thanks. Coffee lovers everywhere should appreciate the idea.

econ grad student, I LOVE French press coffee. That’s all I drank for a season. I’m not sure I could drink it out of a metal thermos all the time, though.

I then transfer it over to a metal thermos. I can keep coffee warm for a very long time. I use a French Press instead of a coffee maker. I then transfer it over to a metal thermos.

We always warm up our carafe with hot water, but only recently did it occur to me to warm up my mug as well. We're a little obsessive about coffee here, too, and the thought of reheated coffee is awful to me. Especially when I've taken the time to freshly grind the beans, and measure everything perfectly.

Brilliant idea. We Canucks (expat here) warm the teapot beforehand the same way when steeping a pot of tea. My mother also taught me to warm dinner plates in the oven (low, 200) before dinner parties. (I wonder if our guests ever notice?) Hugs. Lol, warming the cup! Brilliant idea.

However, we received a blessing in disguise this year--my step-grandparent-inlaws don't know us very well and bought us a candle and candle warmer for Christmas. We don't do scented things due to Rachel's severe allergies and I almost put both in the thrift shop bin. Then my husband caught sight of the candle warmer. He fished it out and now uses it to keep his coffee warm on his desk so that when he forgets about it and wanders off it is still warm. :) (It is not as hot as a coffee cup warmer which they do sell but it was a free gift and it works for him.:) We do have a microwave, sigh, and my husband lets his coffee get cold over and over and used to reheat it (on high for 5 minutes because he would just turn the switch and walk away and then return to boiled coffee–silly guy.)
