ROMANTICIZE YOUR LIFE WITH THE OHOM SELF HEATING MUG & TEAPOT

SIT BACK, SIP & CHARGE

- HALEY HUNTER

Any warm beverage lover knows the importance of drinking your steaming cuppa in the temperature sweet spot: after the scalding steam has eased and before the lukewarm disappointment sets in. Finishing your morning beverage before it goes lukewarm is a challenge though! That's why the promise to keep my beverages hot while simplifying my desk layout piqued my interest. First stop: the OHOM Ui Plus Self Heating Mug Set (starting at $88) and OHOM Leiph Self Heating Teapot Set ($49).

The mug and teapot's warming plates double as a wireless charger for your iPhone or AirPods (meaning fewer items in my space: clean desk, clean mind). Switching out my charging phone for a hot drink by my side without increasing the mess has helped my workspace feel sleek and cozy.

My mug holds 18 ounces of liquid, which is perfect for sustaining yourself with tea or coffee throughout a long workday. The tea I brewed stayed hot for over two hours. It went from the boiling temperature it started at to a temperature that warmed my stomach without burning my tongue. OHOM keeps your drink at 130 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the sweet spot for hot drinks. When putting cold water in the mug, the heating plate is strong enough to bring the water up to a warm temperature, but not all the way to the sweet spot. It should be noted that the heating pad needs to be connected to the wall via the adapter it came with. When plugged in with a different adapter, it does not keep your drink warm (though it will still charge your iPhone).
