Receive a notification on your watch that your coffee is perfectly warm. Drink your coffee and tea at the perfect temp. Still, if you are the kind of person who aims to bring scientific precision to all aspects of your life, including your morning caffeine consumption, this mug is absolutely for you. And it doesn’t have voice-control capabilities.yet. Having to remember to charge one more thing in my life is difficult enough-it would be great if it held a charge longer, through multiple uses. I’ve also found that it needs to be charged after each use, and it takes approximately an hour and a half to fully juice up. You have to delicately wipe down the interior and the top, without getting any water on the base. The bottom of the mug can’t get wet-or else it won’t be able to connect to the charging coaster, meaning you can't just stick it under the sink and let the hot water and soap run all over it. If this sounds like more than you'd ever want to pay for even a coffee mug that'll do your kid's homework, I completely understand. The extra pretty copper mug will set you back a whopping $130. Most notably, the price: the mugs, which come in 10-ounce or 14-ounce sizes, normally start at $80 (NOTE: It's currently on sale for $62 on Amazon). Most importantly, it aces the crucial mug comfort test-it feels nice in hand, thanks to a sturdy handle and some added weight from the lithium-ion battery at the base. It could pass as a regular, if extra chic, contemporary mug. Still, it doesn't look offensively like a piece of high-tech gear. It’s elegant and comes in two colors: black and white. There’s no worry of electrical fires or, if you're me, group texts from your smart fire alarm system.Īesthetically, the Ember Mug far outranks the animal-shaped mugs that usually inhabit my cupboards (I have a llama paraphernalia problem. The mug can be placed on its coaster charging station, which cleverly looks like a tea saucer, to prolong the temperature maintenance and-thankfully-it will automatically switch off after two hours of no activity. The Ember Mug, however, stayed at my preferred 135° for nearly two hours. It needed to be rewarmed after half an hour. When put to the test, coffee in one of my regular ol' mugs dropped 5 degrees every 4 minutes. When my mug is powered on, it flashes a cerulean hue. The most fun light, though, is the personalized color users can choose in the app. It communicates through a small light at the base-a solid white light means that the temperature has been reached red and green lights indicate the battery level. It knows when liquid is inside and will enter sleep mode when its empty. And my afternoon slump is cured with a cup of Earl grey-the Ember app sets a timer for optimal steeping, and I get a ping on my Apple Watch when it’s ready. I can get through my inbox at my desk in the morning without having to make multiple trips to the kitchen to swap out cold coffee for a new cup. I brought my Ember-and my futuristic lifestyle-to the office.
