Questions and answers
- Which is better for keeping coffee hot all morning?
- The Nuwave lasts up to 5 hours at max temperature and lets you set any temperature up to 205°F on its base. The Nextmug holds over 4 hours with the lid on, capped at 150°F.
- Is the Nuwave worth the extra money?
- Only if you want brew presets, 1°F control, or heat above 150°F. At $242.77 versus $129.95, the Nextmug covers basic desk warming for much less.
- Can I take either mug in the car?
- Both run on battery, but the Nuwave is 8 inches tall and the Nextmug is 4.5 inches, so the Nextmug fits cup holders more easily. The Nuwave's off-base limit is 150°F.
- Do either need an app?
- No. The Nextmug uses one on-board button, and the Nuwave uses an LED touch display on the mug.
- Which holds more?
- The Nuwave holds 16 oz and the Nextmug holds 14 oz.
- Are they dishwasher safe?
- The Nextmug is not dishwasher safe. Nuwave does not state dishwasher safety, so hand wash both.
