If you pass an electric current through a metal coil you will create a magnetic field. A magnetic field will create an electric field. So it isn't surprising a heating coil produces an electricity into the cup. What is important is how much and where.
Most people, I assume, are smart enough not to put there finger into a cup of hotwater to find where the electric current runs through.
