The perfect gift for the coffee drinker in your life is more than 25% off for Prime Day

I'm not quite the dedicated coffee drinker I once was, which is why I've become reliant on this excellent self-heating mug from Nextmug. See, I drink my first cup of the day quickly but my second I tend to nurse for the rest of the morning. After lunch, I brew up an afternoon cup and it takes me the rest of the day to get through it.

So a mug that keeps my coffee warm, or even piping hot, is absolutely essential. Nextmug does that perfectly—this is legit the only coffee mug I use these days, and I use it each and every day. It ain't cheap, but this is a nice Prime Day deal for over 25% off on all the different colors it comes in. And the black version is 31% off, if you want to save a few more bucks.

One of the biggest benefits of Nextmug over a desktop mug warmer is that the heating element is actually inside the mug. I briefly tried a mug warmer that works like a desktop heating element—you put your mug on top of it and it gets scalding hot—but my desk is usually cluttered and I immediately feared that other stuff would get nudged onto the hot surface, like wires, my phone, my earbuds, etc—and melt or become damaged.

You don't have that problem with Nextmug. It sits on a charging base, but that base doesn't get hot: only the inside of the mug does. Off the base, the battery still lasts at least a couple of hours, long enough to keep your beverage hot for a good long while.

There are three temperatures to choose from: warm, hot, and piping (for that just-brewed feeling), all controlled by the single button on the base of the mug. And you can wash it in the sink: just be sure it's dry when you set it back on the base.

If you know a coffee drinker who spends all day sitting at their desk like me, this is a great gift! Feel free to buy me a second one, in fact, so I can have one for the living room, too.
