Small Town Girl's Adventures as a Coffee Connoisseur (Keeping it Warm)

I like my French Press coffee maker. But, it has one flaw. It doesn't keep the coffee warm for very long.

This wouldn't really be a problem but I'm usually making coffee when I'm working on other things and want to sip while I work. Once I get into my work I often forget the time and when I do remember I made coffee, it's cold in the pot. If I'm lucky, or less distracted, it will still be lukewarm when I push the plunger down and actually drink it.

I began thinking about using a smaller coffee mug too. The big ones cool off fast. Plus, I could make less coffee. In theory I'd drink it sooner, before it's cold in the mug.

In this case, a coffee mug warmer would be a bonus too.

I do have a coffee sleeve which I keep in my purse for those times I get a latte when I'm out and the paper cup is too hot. It's really good when I remember (or bother) to use it.
