The benchmark of HiFi speakers, condensed

The floorstanding Reference 3 Meta is capable of delivering a sensational sound stage for a wide range of listeners. At its heart sits the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, the latest technological development from KEF, and one which puts you solidly at the heart of the action.


The benchmark of benchmarks

Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Pioneering the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest audio accuracy, every pair can be matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard.


Always innovating

Since the first Reference speaker, KEF engineers have continued to innovate using what is possible with The Reference. Ground-breaking in its first incarnation, each subsequent iteration of The Reference has added to the world’s knowledge of the science of acoustics.


Designed, engineered and handcrafted in UK

Since 1961, we have been creating remarkable award-winning loudspeakers at our UK home in Maidstone, Kent. As our flagship HiFi speakers, The Reference is still being designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone today.

GREAT AT KEEPING MY COFFEE HOT!!! when i said HOT, I mean HOT!!! *****
Color: Black
So far it's GREAT!!!. That warmer works great so far I plugged it, set it at the maximum (185f), put my ceramic cup of hot coffee on it and let it for 5 hours. when I checked it it was as hotter than when I put it on and the cup was really hot to the touch. The glass top is very hot so be careful, I touched the marble counter under where the warmer was and it was not even hot (now I'll try with a wooden top desk to see if it will be the same). So I don't think that you need to set it at the maximum to keep your coffee hot , probably (149f) will be good enough So far it does exceed my expectation , very easy to use and the price is right. I'll update if something happens but for now 5 STARS *****

KEEP LOOKING
Color: Black
I have used a coffee mug warmer all of my long adult life. This one is the worst. I had to get a new one because my new coffee mugs were too big to fit on the old warmer. Yes this is large and will fit most cups I would think. But the amount of attention this thing requires is ridiculous. No simple on/off switch and leave it and forget it. You have to keep touching points in order to find the on and off area, and then you have to keep tapping it to get the temperature you want, but if you take your cup off and put it back, the temperature goes back to the lowest and starts blinking until you tap it to make it solid at the temperature you want. I got it yesterday and it’s going back today. Trust me on this you won’t like the attention it requires.

Too big, gets hot on bottom
Color: Black
After receiving this, I see it's frequently returned. I wish I didn't buy it. It's too large for my space where I kept my previous warmer and I tried it out; it got quite hot on the bottom. Nothing great about it. I'm boxing it back up and back to the drawing board.

Great
Color: Silver
This coffee and tea warmer is an absolute game-changer! I work from home and love keeping my beverages hot throughout the day. This device truly lives up to its promises. It heats up incredibly quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, keeping my drinks warm for the price. I can’t find a better option, and the auto-shut-off feature is a huge plus. The temperature control is precise, and it actually performs as advertised. I highly recommend this product for its affordability, multiple temperature settings, and reliable performance. It has everything I was looking for in a coffee and tea warmer. The previous one I had worked well and had an auto-shut-off, but I kept accidentally shaking the cup, causing it to spill and melt. This one seems to be well-constructed and definitely worth the investment.
