The USB powered Heat Me stirrer is just what the doctor ordered for those that work in small cubicles in what is called Corporate America. Depending upon the job, every aspect of your day and productivity is measured and when you fall behind, it reflects badly upon you.
Some jobs are so bad for this that just taking an unscheduled break to warm up your cup with a fresh cup of coffee results in a reprimand. Still a concept design, but a cool one, you no longer need to worry about leaving your cubicle to warm up your coffee. The USB powered Heat Me stir stick plugs into any USB port which provides enough power to warm and stir your coffee. As with all heating elements, you have to ensure that you just don’t burn yourself on it.
At this point, this is still a concept product, but it does have great potential, so you can bet it will be only a matter of time before someone picks this up and runs with it. Unique gadgets are always in demand, just take a look at the coffee mug that stirs itself and you’ll see why I think that this product could take off.
