True... and when placed into a cold cup water drops another 20º.
And those thingies will not give you hot water anytime you want it,
they have rather small capacity and e **** poor recovery rate... only
the first cup will be 190ºF, unless one waits a few minutes the next
cup will be about 150ºF, by the third cup it'll be bath water.
