Ember New Temperature Control Smart Mug 2, 355 ml, Black, 3-hr Battery Life – App Controlled Heated Coffee Travel Mug – Improved Design

Product Information

The main difference between the two mugs is Ember's smart technology, which is used to warm beverages to the user’s ideal temperature, whereas the YETI relies on double-wall vacuum insulation to keep beverages hot or cold. You'll either be able to track the Ember Mug or it will show its last known location so you can figure out where it's at. The ionMug had three temperature settings and heated coffee both off charger (for up to three hours) and on the charger (it’ll turn off after three hours of inactivity, but all you need to do is move it to remind it to keep heating). The charging base needs to be kept dry, and before you put the cup on the base, you need to make sure the bottom is dry.

Useful app: I do appreciate that you can go deeper with the app so that it earns its spot on your phone. Compared to a freshly-brewed cup of coffee, the coffees I tasted two, three, even four hours later were pretty pleasant, and I expected them to degrade much more than they did. If the mugs were on their chargers, most (except the OHOM and the Glowstone) were able to keep a consistent 135°F for four hours.The app is decent, and there are presets for different beverages like 135 degrees for coffee, and 131 degrees for a latte.

It can keep a beverage at your desired temperature for three hours while on the go, or all day when on the included charging coaster. It really is one of those products that look stupid to people who don't own them, but is beloved by those who do. Perhaps the idea is that it can stay hot forever when it's on the coaster, but then again who needs to have a hot beverage stay hot for a whole day or more?This means the longer your brew is held in the mug, the more likely it is to taste more sour, bitter or metallic — all issues I encountered in my testing across the different Ember mugs, though your specific outcome will depend on the coffee beans you use.

The Ember Mug² is not just a perfect solution for the home or office either; the Travel Mug is perfect for days on the go, so you’ll never have to worry about your drink being too hot – or cold – ever again.In fact, because it keeps the temp in just the right range, it actually enhances the overall flavor profile over my drinking duration (usually around 15-20 minutes). Apple will likely launch new iPad Air, iPad Pro, and MacBook Air models "around the end of March," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Ember warns about this and suggests holding it away from your face when you press the lid, but it hasn't been a huge issue over the time that I've been using the cup.

One tester of the Mug 2 said, "I was especially impressed that it not only kept my coffee hot, but it also heated up lukewarm leftover coffee by 20 degrees in only five minutes. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. There’s no uniform understanding of the relationship between temperature and flavor (our article notes, for example, that “beer turns bitter when warmed from its typical serving temperature; coffee, on the other hand, has been found to taste less bitter when cooled down from piping-hot.With its self-heating smart mugs, you can simply set the precise temperature of your hot drink from the Ember app and enjoy the same warmth with every sip. Consistency Tests: I measured each temperature reading of the mug against the temperature it was set to—in general, if the mug was within +/- two degrees, it was considered accurate. Use the Ember app to set your temperature, customize presets for your favorite drinks, receive notifications when your desired temperature is reached, personalize your mug and more.
