I'm all for having my coffee or tea extra-hot. Its a disappointment every time, when it quickly loses temperature in the space of a few minutes. And I hate it to finish off the beverage cold or at best, lukewarm.
I am the kind who usually runs back to the oven to reheat my tea when its half done. To confess, there are times I've ended up reheating the same tea a couple of times, before actually finishing it.
This has made me wonder whether there aren't any elegant solutions in the form of a custom, improvised coffee mug.
Googling got me some options. A popular one was the insulated coffee mug, which doesn't really solve the problem.

Then, there were the reheatable mugs that could be plugged into a power socket or even through a car charger. A bit messy and certainly not one you'd want lying around your table.

I was looking for a combination of a mug -cum- thermo flask that retains heat best, one which comes with a reheat option without those ugly props.

And, I landed on this page which seemed to offer quite an elegant solution. This kickstarter campaign had originally been launched with some issues, and then relaunched to completion.

With this campaign getting closed, the product doesn't seem to be in the market yet, but with limited availability on their home site.
Looks like I'll have to wait some time until I can have a steaming cup of coffee, all the way to the end!
