January 15th, 2008Always Room Temperature


It’s perfect and it’s simple - a hotplate powered by USB keeps your coffee warm. But if Alton Brown has taught us anything is that we hate a single-use tool. That, and, sometimes we like our caffeine served cold. No problem, ’cause we’ve got you covered!
Just flip a switch, and the hot-plate turns into a peltier device, quickly cooling to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius). Sweet! By maintaining optimum temperatures for your caffeine delivery system, you can enjoy increased work productivity and nice twitchy gaming reflexes.
Features Include:
* Connection via USB
* Cold-plate chills to 45˚F
* Hotplate warms to 120˚F
* Helps keeps your beverage at optimum temperature
* USB cable length: 2 feet
* Power consumption: 5.75W
* Dimensions: 5.25″ x 3.25″ x 1.4″

How will that fit into the linear-ness of your desk?
Is anybody else having a hard time reading the pale blue print?

tshsmom, it’s easy, it will replace the coaster that already fits into the linear-ness! About the blue, I think you mean the links that are really light? I’ll see what I can do to tweak that. I was looking at some of the blogrolls and thought the blue was difficult to read against the white, but I’m still new to wordpress, so it may take me a few days.

Looks cool. I usually end up with warm soda too so dont worry but now you have that nice little gadget for yours. Oh by the way before I forget I am mailing blanket out on Saturday instead. Jeff said its easier since he doesnt have to work. So I will have it out and mailed Saturday.

Yup, that’s the blue I mean! I’m glad it isn’t just me. I was starting to think my age was creeping up on me.
I’m happy to hear that your linear-ness will remain unsullied!
