That's brilliant for working in cold conditions, when your drink goes cold too quickly.

And for my Tassimo which is hot enough at the very start but cools down too quickly.
I’m not going to lie, I’m tempted

Aye, I bought a flask for a £20 when I was taking coffee into the office, you could buy a microwave for less to reheat your coffee if you're a savage. Another tech solution to a problem that's not real

I know someone who uses that product or something very similar to it. I don’t like him, I don’t respect him, and I don’t agree with him.

I had a portable version when I used two be onsite, it cost circa £180 and im sure it was the reason for a budget review of contractors spending.

Time to get the travel mug merchandise from your podcast of choice. I use my Smith and Sniff one all the time.

£150
Does anybody really want to keep a drink hot/warm for that long? Surely you'd just make another one or use a thermos if you're off for a hill walk or something?

Quite. If I am away - thermos beats open mug.
At home - I drink it fast enough, or if working and getting distracted, I either enjoy the novelty of cold coffee, or stick it in the microwave.
Won't anyone think of teh children and our planit?

James Hoffman did a good review of these. Ridiculous things but I can see the appeal, particularly if you get distracted by stuff and end up with that half cup of too-cold coffee or tea.

You can see the appeal but do you see the appeal at £125+ more than a decent travel mug?

At this point you might as well spend an extra £100,000 and get one of those BMWs with the heated cupholders.
