The Best Way to Reheat Coffee, According to Experts

Winter is coming, so you can find us holing up in our kitchens until further notice. Our cravings for warm beverages are at an all-time high during this time of year, but with temperatures dropping, hot drinks don’t stay that way for very long. According to Heather Calatrello, owner and head roaster at San Diego’s ShedLight Coffee Roasters, you should never reheat coffee in the microwave. So what is a slow sipper to do when they can’t finish a full cup before it gets cold?

Enter the Nextmug, a heat-regulating coffee mug that keeps drinks at your preferred temperature for up to eight hours. This editor-loved self-heating mug passed our tests with flying colors, and it’s 31% off ahead of Black Friday.

Nextmug Self-Heating Coffee Mug

We tested 17 mug warmers, and the Nextmug came out on top as our favorite overall. Most mug warmers work like mini hotplate coasters, which is great if you happen to have ample access to outlets. But if you prefer to take your coffee from room to room as you prepare for the day or don’t have a plug near your desk, this heated coffee mug is for you. The Nextmug comes with a charging coaster, but the mug itself also keeps drinks hot for up to an hour on a single charge.

The Nextmug has a 14-ounce capacity, which is the perfect size for a standard cup of drip coffee or an oversized latte. The mug has an adjustable temperature control panel with five settings, including warm (130°F), hot (140°F), and piping (150°F) presets. The mug takes just seconds to heat up to the perfect temperature, and its LED display makes it easy to keep track of battery life. 

The coffee mug is made from stainless steel with a chic ceramic finish. We can also attest to its durability — our editors have been using their Nextmugs for months, and they still work like new. While it’s not dishwasher-safe, we find it easy to wash by hand.

Whether you’re shopping for holiday gifts or you’re looking to treat yourself to a warmer winter, grab the self-heating Nextmug our editors love most while it’s 31% off at Amazon. With a deal this good, you don’t even have to wait until Black Friday.
