We know that when you get a bit too snug there’s a very real chance that a steaming mug of cocoa – or mulled wine – might go tumbling.

It proved reliable too, taking a respectable 15 minutes to heat up with minimal temperature fluctuations, although we found the right side wasn’t as effective as the left.
