Ember Mug 2 (14 Ounce), $150, Available on Amazon and EmberĪnd, as with any kitchen tech, this mug can be a bit finicky.Depending on your preferences, it may be worth it for you to invest in the larger size. While at the time I purchased it there were no larger sizes, Ember has recently launched a 14-ounce mug that is a pricier $130. For me, 10 ounces is a rather small cup of coffee which required quite a few trips for refills throughout the day. First, and most noticeable to me, is the size. It definitely buys me enough time to finish my drink, and lasts long enough that I can bring it with me to meetings, and it’ll stay hot until I’m back at my desk to charge it.īut this unbiased review wouldn’t be complete without a few drawbacks I’ve noticed in my past two years of using this mug. I’ve found the battery life to be fairly good, lasting a few hours when the mug is off its charging base. I leave it there to charge so it’s ready to use the next time I brew my morning coffee, evening cup of tea, or other hot beverage of choice.
The mug will continue to run until it is empty, and once it’s empty you can clean it and return it to its coaster.
Once I finished my drink it was simple to turn the Ember mug off. You can also monitor and change the temperature within the app if you brew a new drink or finish drinking your beverage.Īnd if you commute, Ember also makes a slightly more expensive travel mug, which would be perfect for anyone sitting in the car for long periods of time, or negotiating a lengthy subway ride every morning. While other mug warmers usually function as a hot plate for your favorite drink, the Ember mug heats your coffee from within the mug itself, so if you take your drink with you to a conference room or from your home office to your kitchen, you won’t have to worry about it slowly getting colder. The real benefit to me as a coffee drinker is that no matter where you move, the mug stays the temperature you set. In addition to the exhaustive pre-sets, you can create your own preferred temperature and save it as a customized pre-set, ranging anywhere from 120 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The current temperature of your mug is displayed clearly, and I watched as the temperature climbed to 131 degrees Fahrenheit. Ember Appįor my first drink, I made a latte in the mug and immediately chose the “latte” pre-set temperature within the app. You can choose from Ember’s temperature pre-sets or create a custom one for your favorite drink. Within seconds, the mug was synced, and I was ready to start programming it to my desired temperature. Open the app and select your mug or thermos (Ember also makes a smart travel mug), then push a button on the bottom of the mug and the light in the base will blink blue while it connects.

And, my first question after opening it: How do you pair the Ember mug? After charging it on its charging base which also doubles as a coaster, it was ready to sync via Bluetooth to the Ember app on my phone. I opted for the black Ember Mug 2, the 10-ounce design. It comes in a variety of colors, like the matte black and white (linked above), and metallic silver, copper, or gold. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed about the mug is the sleek look of the design.
