Not only does it chill, if you have a warm beverage you can switch it to heat, insert your tall coffee cup and it will stay toasty warm. And it is simple to operate as it has 3 settings, Cold/Warm/Off. So the chances of screwing up is limited.

It comes in at $50 but most desktop coffee warmers are about $15 and they do not cool or operate via your computers USB port.

    This is the greatest idea. My work place just banned all plug in drink warmers and fans. they say its an electrical hazard. No problem I can just hook up about 1000 usb devices and no one can complain. I love the Japanese they come up with the greatest toys.
