When I want to keep my coffee or tea warm, I do one of three things: I drink it quickly, keep it in an insulated mug or stay reasonably close to the microwave so I can reheat it if necessary. I don't think that I would ever get to the point where I needed a drink warmer like the one pictured here. This set has two main components: a frosted glass mug and a zinc cup holder/warmer, which has a space for a tea light. It also includes the stainless steel stirring spoon/drinking straw pictured with it.
It looks a bit like a fondue set, doesn't it? Clearly, you would have to regularly stir your drink to prevent the bottom from scalding, particularly if you're drinking a dairy-based beverage.
I would rather just drink my hot cocoa quickly if the only reheating option seemed like a fire hazard.

I think this will be a better product to have rather than a tea light.

Another way to keep your beverage (espresso, cappuccino, coffe or teat) warm is to buy thick-walled (1/4 inch) ceramic cups rather than the thin porcelain cups that many use. Check out these handcrafted modern retro cups in 8 funky colors (with plaitiunum accents)imported from Switzerland and signed by the artist at www.terrakeramik.com. Thanks!
