New Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2
By: 6 Months Later
The Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug is a mug so smart that you can set a precise temperature through the phone app and the mug will to keep your hot drink at that precise temperature. The main features of the device all happen within the smartphone app, and if you don't have a smart phone around, it defaults to warming the beverage to 135 degrees Fahrenheit or 57.2 degrees Celsius. The battery will last you about an hour, depending on if you're pouring something into the mug that is warm or cold. The mug has a simple, modern aesthetic, and the LED indicator is useful for showing the battery level and when the desired temperature has been reached. The app allows you to select preset temperatures, and includes a tea timer and recipes. Setting up the device is simple, and the only issue I've run into with the mug is that it will occasionally lose connection to my phone.
The downsides to owning the Ember smart mug are that it is a 10 ounce mug, and you have to be careful when hand-washing the mug not to get the bottom wet. The battery life of the mug is only rated for about 500 charge cycles, and it is unclear if the battery is replaceable. The mug is pricey, starting at around $80 and going up to $130 for the larger size.
Overall, I have really enjoyed using my Ember smart mug over the past six months. It is perfect for keeping hot drinks warm, but comes at a cost. If you're willing to pay to keep your drinks warm, I don't think you're going to be disappointed.
