USB ports are beautiful things, aren't they. Nowadays pretty much everything can be, and have been connected to that electronic bulk of pure genius you're staring right at this point, namely: your computer.

I consider myself low maintenance, truly all I want is a laptop and a coffee and I'm good for hours. Although it's never a joy when, after hours of being transfixed by the ongoing stream of information that is my monitor, breaking anyhow for a short time to quench my other thirst with a hot cup of caffeinated goodness, to find instead a cup of room temperature mediocrity.

In a relentless quest for an answer to this issue, including a really shabby improvised product involving a tea light and some equipment stolen from the physics classroom, I inevitably ended up where I started, online.

And of course it was Japanese. As it usually goes with caffeine driven computer lover such as myself, the gadgetphile in me liked it easily. The USB Bottle & Cup Cooler & Warmer.

No points for original naming, but it does make my job easier. It's simultaneously a heating and cooling element, made into a practical, compact casing and is run by you're notebook via an USB cable.

It can go from room temperature to as high as 140Â and as low as 55Â in a matter of minutes. Which means it will keep your beverage warm but wont pose a health or fire risk (Should you not happen to have some pure bromine spilling around), and will keep your soda cool without giving you frostbite, which is always a good thing.

The USB Bottle & Cup Cooler & Warmer has a 3.5 feet cable and all in all weighs about 1 pound, with only a hot or cold switch it's really simple to use, making the manual unnecessary, but for fun value with its awesome, crooked English translations: "request the cup can transmit heat", "Put the products in the steady place after taken it from the packing." and "Put the USB Bottle & Cup Cooler and Warmer on the working position. Now you can enjoy your life!".
