![]() If you're not a fan of coffee, you can also have tea. Simple yet effective design and made from the same high quality material as the cup itself, with a non-slip finish on the bottom. The saucer that works as a charging station has a nice long cable with which I can place it exactly where I want, on my desk, next to the keyboard, within reach. The only downside is that you can't put it in the dishwasher (nor in the microwave, no idea why you would, but don't). The light, which works as an indicator (status: charging, charged and in standby, warm, heating up, off) is secretly very cool and even adjustable (RGB!) so that you can keep different cups apart. The material also insulates well, even with boiling hot water you can just hold it in your hand. The cup itself feels and looks qualitatively and is nicely finished, no weird edges or other crazy things and it just drinks as you would expect from a normal cup. Just put coffee in it and drink it, or not. It has a sensor that knows when there is something in it that needs to stay warm, so no hassle with buttons or switching on/off. You have to update the cup after you take it out of the box, but after that you can use it as if it were a normal cup. The app is a bit overkill in my opinion and absolutely not necessary for use, but nice to have with you if you are an absolute control freak and want to set exactly how hot your coffee should be. In addition, your favorite drink just stays that little bit better, even if you continue drinking, because it is still just as warm as when you poured it. I forgot so often that I still had half a cup of coffee left, and there you are with that cold black disappointment. Seriously, once you use an Ember Mug, there's no going back.It's a bit crazy to spend so much money on a cup, but sometimes it's the little things in life that add up and become worth the money at the end of the month. The app itself is easy to use, and being able to customize your own LED color and temperature presets is a breeze. The Ember Smart Mug is made from premium materials, the charging coaster can keep your drink at optimal temperature all day, and the battery life is pretty good if you don't use the coaster while drinking. And if you're burying yourself in work (as I often do), you may forget about your drink until it's too late. ![]() ![]() I also just like to have a mug of coffee while I work to help me feel energized and focused. Yes, one could argue that the person should just drink the beverage faster, but some of us like to sip and savor our morning coffee or tea. While this fancy mug costs a pretty penny, I think that it's worth it if you drink coffee or tea at home, and often get tired that it's cold by the time you finish it. ![]() This mug is life changing, seriously Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2: The Bottom Line Still, it has a hefty price of admission. But it's definitely one of those things that you didn't know you needed until you actually use it. The biggest pain point of the Ember Smart Mug is the price - it's not cheap. You'll also have to exercise extreme caution with the bottom of the mug after washing it - if it's wet at all, it won't properly charge on the coaster. size available, and just get rid of the 10 oz. should be the starting size, with a larger 16 or 20 oz.

Ember New Temperature Control Smart Mug 2, 414 ml, White, 80 min. ![]() size is a joke - it's just way too small! My single serve Keurig can load up to 12 oz. I think it would feel like it lasts longer if you brew a pot of coffee and then just pour it in to your Ember Mug, so it may be due to the fact that I'm using a Keurig machine. It's a little annoying, but I wish the battery lasted a tad longer for situations like that. The mug's battery also discharges the moment you take it off the charger, so I am guessing that the missing battery time is going to the time my cup spends sitting there as my Keurig brews. I often get a warning notification on my phone that my battery is low about an hour in, and I'm not even halfway through my drink yet. I feel that it is usually about an hour, but the last 20 minutes is a hit or miss. While Ember advertises 80 minutes on the Smart Mug 2, that doesn't feel accurate every day.
