But for me, it only shows up as a large grey mesh of the object. Is there any way I can actually see the texture map on the object in preview mode?

It's the Maxis cheap coffeemaker that I recoloured. I updated the texture files and they show correctly ingame, but in preview mode it's just the grey mesh.
