We’ll go ahead and squash your hopes before you waste time pulling out the plastic — this thing’s just a concept, at least for now. From what we can glean, the HEAT ME is a fantastic device just waiting to be snapped up by Brando (or similar) and turned into the next must-have USB-powered gizmo. Put simply, the metal ends of this here stick warm up when plugged into your USB port, thus giving you a toasty wand to keep your hot tea / coffee at the proper temperature even when colleagues pull you away momentarily. Really though, is there any doubt this won’t go commercial within the next six months?
Because applying heat to already-brewed coffee is a genius way to encourage evaporation and make your brew taste more and more like bitter, ashy dreck.
Thanks, HEAT ME!
