Oh, no you don’t. I saw this episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Like, for example, a double-walled vacuum mug?

I dislike the idea of heating my mug. If I liked drinking slowly I think I’d rather use one of those sketchy immersion heaters?
I bet that would be not good with my lightened hot beverages. Oh well, lukewarm drinks it is

My desk can already keep my coffee and tea at the correct temperature; room temperature.
I think I’m the exception that proves the rule.
I’d be shocked if this thing had a single transistor in it much less a microcontroller for anything approaching smart. My guess is the heater is a PTC element since they naturally self regulate and a spring loaded mechanism to turn it on when enough weight is put on the plate.
