Frequently asked questions

Are mug warmers safe to leave on?

Most have auto-shutoff. Read the manual; for safety, treat them like any countertop appliance and don't leave them on overnight.

Do mug warmers work on insulated mugs?

No. The insulation is the whole point - warmers heat the bottom and the heat won't transfer through the vacuum gap.
