insomnia much?
meh... me too
one of those thermal cups with a lid is always good my tea/coffee is always going cold drives me nuts.

I have the same problem, two or three good hot sips and then I am off and when I come back to the coffee it is cold or luke warm. I do have a couple of insulated mugs and they help some. Those little cup warmer things are nice if you remember to put your cup back on it everytime. I am hoping someone has a really good mug suggestion. I would like to get one for Christmas too.

Thermal Travel mugs always work for me. I'm a big coffee drinker. If you set your cup down, maybe a candle warmer would keep it from getting cold.

like they said a thermal cup. stainless steel ones work good.

Last year at one of the specialty shops I bought my husband one of those thermal insulated mugs, with scene of deer on it. It is made by Outdoor Expeditioner it coat around $20.00. He just came in from outside so I asked himabout it. He uses it a lot. He said it keeps his coffee hot for about an hour when he is inside. They had one with a bird scene on it that I also nearly bought for myself. The two drawbacks are they need to be hand washed or rinsed out, not dishwasher safe and they are tumbler style, they do not have a handle. I like the handle. maybe I will go back and see if they got a mug style now.

I have an electric cup warmer plate my son bought me. The cup can be any in the house. Like that better. Most stores sell them this time of year for under $10

Ouch

Yeah, I agree, the stainless steel ones are great for keeping the coffee hot, and those warmers are awesome too. Either a coffee warmer or a candle warmer. They are exactly the same, just different labels. The candle warmers are about half the price. About $5 if you look. I got them at Michaels for that price and I've seen them at Walmart for $5 too. But actually buy the "coffee warmer" and you'll pay $10.

Note. if you use the stainless steel ones, check to make sure they don't have a foam sticker on the bottom so that they don't clank when you set them down. If they do, and you put this on one of those warmers, it'll be the last time us use that warmer, LOL!

When you buy the insulated cups, you also have to be careful to make sure they can go in the dishwasher. I've got a couple here that if you put them in the dishwasher, they get water stuck in the bottom part & drips out at bad times.

If you have a Barnies or another specialty coffee shop nearby, they almost always have a good selection of thermal cups. Of course, the drug stores & walmart do too. :)

Thanks for the ideas. I used to have one that was actually made by "Thermos" brand, but I can't find it now. It kept it hot for a few hours and then warm/or COLD if you had ice in it all day.

I've never heard of a "candle warmer", however, we have a Michael's here, so I'll check it out.

Here's some ideas (I googled coffee cup warmer):

Thanks for doing the brain work, Ms. Carrien, I haven't discoverd where I put mine down at yet. Don't worry, it's here somewhere.

Starbucks has every kind of specialty cup you could ever ask for. I think they have a website

I have several...they are metal lind with a lid...whenever my hubby and I go to any coffee houses we take our own cups...or if they have a new cute one there we buy them...a bit spendy...but coffee stays Hot !!!

Thank you msboni! I have never been to a coffee shop, strange huh? Oh well, I live a sheltered life.

Before you put your coffe in any thermal mug fill the mug with boiling water. This will heat up your mug first and then your coffee will retain it's own heat instead of heating the mug.
