You can use whiskey stones or similar re-usable ice-cube-replacements, but surely there must be something more 21st-century out there? And there is! In fact, we've had the technology for it since 1834, in the form of a Peltier cooler which uses electric current to produce a temperature gradient with no moving parts or liquids involved.In practical terms: you hit the capacitive touch button on the front of this thing, and the metal plate in the depression on top becomes quite cold, quite quickly. Pour your pre-cooled drink into the provided aluminum cup and place it on top, and it'll stay chilly. I've seen some reviews bemoaning the fact that it doesn't really cool down a room-temperature drink very well, but that's not this thing's fault; thermodynamics is just stacked against us when it comes to cooling things down versus heating them up, unfortunately. While this won't cool a warm drink down, it'll keep an already-cold drink nice and frosty, and that's really all I need.My one minor complaint with this thing is the capacitive touch button on the front; it's both too sensitive and not sensitive enough by turns. Sometimes it takes a few finger pokes to get the device to turn on or off, and conversely sometimes I'll turn it on while just moving it around my desk, with my finger not especially near the button. This hasn't caused any real problems for me, however, and doesn't affect the operation, so I can easily live with it. All in all I'm quite happy with my purchase, and look forward to many cool drinks on hot days with this futuristic-feeling gadget on my desk.

I like to keep a cold drink on my desk while I work but find it does not stay cold for long and sweats on my papers. This product will keep it cold. No more going to the refrigerator multiple times daily to get a cold beverage. I keep a gallon container of bottled water in my office, under my desk, at room temperature and fill the cup that is provided with the product as per my wishes and its made cold. I have had this product for only one week.Still works great, the beverage is made very very cold, just how I like it.04/12/20: just ordered another one for my daughter as a gift.07/14/20 My first purchase just broke in under a year ? It worked great up to its date of death. I hope they will be considerate to me and replace it.

I'm amazed but this did exactly what it said it would. I wouldn't go so far as to say it would freeze things (unless it's that soda you left a little too long in the freezer and it was on the edge, which I did on accident), but it keeps an aluminum can of soda crispy cold all day. It's also just big enough that the metal cup included can hold a smartwater bottle, a hint water bottle, and most iced coffees. I haven't tried it for anything hot yet, but I'm delighted with the cooling feature. It's a little noisy and I suspect it draws a good bit of power, but it's greatly slowed my soda intake because I was always rushing to finish it before it was warm. I'll update when it eventually dies.
