A cylindrical creamer with about ten little cylindrical legs that
will fit
inside of a mug. You fill the thing with milk and set it inside of
your
mug, which is half-full of hot water. This simultaneously warms
the
milk and the mug.

What is a creamer? By your brief description it does not sound like a thing that makes cream. |
|
| |
So, not a..ah, never mind. |
|
| |
why ten legs? funny how its the little things ... |
|
| |
why hot water and not hot coffee? could it be cow-shaped with just 4 legs and an udder? |
|
| |
I like my coffee milky - and therefore often have to imbibe tepid coffee. |

if I read this right, you're trying to prewarm the mug (laudable) and the milk/cream (not so much) ? Seems rather complicated. |
|

Depends on how much milk one is using - it's not worth it for just a dash of cream, true, but for the 50ml or so of milk in my coffee, it might make a difference. Problems: fishing the warm milk out of the hot water; dirtying another dish. |

Sounds complex and difficult to use and to clean. Surely a
more elegant solution is a sort of juglette with an inner
cylinder. Pour milk in the outer portion, hot water in the
inner, wait, pour out warmed milk. The inner portion would
have an offset opening: milk pours out when you tip it one
way, water when you tip it the other. |

" a more elegant solution is a sort of juglette ". |

Google image search for jugalette. Down with the clown and all that. |

Needs a new name, for some reason, I think. |
|
| |
it's just a cylindrical cream dispenser that fits inside of a
cofee mug. The legs provide surface area. Made of ceramic
or metal, dishwasher safe, the top could extend beyond the
top of the mug. The milk would be held mostly in the little
legs. The legs could look like little pie wedges in cross-
section, any convenient shape that would icrease internal and
external surface area. |

Maybe it's just me, but I always prewarm mugs, carafe/teapot
and milk. I've already got hot water, so this would eliminate
a dish and the possibility of scalding the milk. |
