World's First USB Coaster

We all know that USB is very versatile and can be used for anything from transferring data to powering a laptop light. However, this is the first time we've seen USB used for keeping your drink cold. The CoolIT USB Beverage Chiller is, as far as we know, the world's first USB powered drink cooler. CoolIT Systems, the makers of the Chiller, claims this is the next must-have computer accessory. With the USB Beverage Chiller at your side, you can keep your beverage chilled and stay at your computer longer.

The Chiller looks like a very big iPod with a blue wheel. The wheel is the cold plate and when plugged in, will chill down to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, the perfect temperature for keeping your beverage chilled. Available direct from CoolIT System for $39.99 plus $9.50 shipping and handling within the Continental US.

Does It Really Work?

In order to properly test the CoolIT USB Beverage Chiller, We needed a very accurate thermometer. This is where the $150.00 InNova Infrared Thermometer came in. The laser powered thermometer allowed us to take surface temperature measurements with a simple push of a button.

After plugging in the CoolIT USB Beverage Chiller and letting it chilled down, we took a temp reading. The cold plate measured 8.9C. Pretty cold instead. The question is, will it keep your drink at that temp?
