You run the risk of burning out your USB ports with a device like
that. I have such a device, but I wired it to an old 5 V cell phone
charger. I do not see that it helps very much as the bottom of the mug
is ceramic and therefore insulated. I suppose if you had a mug with a
metal bottom it would be more practical.
