The mug then maintains that temperature until you're finished, or until it runs out of battery.Įmber said that the battery should last for 90 minutes and that seems about right.
A short while later, my phone pinged with a notification telling me that my coffee had reached the ideal temperature to drink. To kick off testing, I poured a cup of coffee, picked coffee in the presets (which defaults to a temperature of 134 degrees Fahrenheit), and set my mug aside to work. You can pair up to six Ember mugs with the app. Once again, there are presets like three minutes for green tea or five minutes for black tea, and you can set your own timers for your preferred brew time. The LED also changes color to signify different things, so red means low battery, solid white means your ideal temperature has been reached, and blue means it's updating the firmware.īelow the presets, you'll also find a Tea Timer section, which allows you to set an alarm for the perfect brew time. You can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, change the brightness of the LED, and set the LED color (I chose purple). Choose your beverage and stick with the preset temperature, or swipe left or right to increase or decrease it to suit your personal preferences. A latte is set to 131 degrees Fahrenheit, for example, while green tea is set to 137 degrees. Tap the arrow at the bottom, and you can see several presets for different drinks. The main screen says Empty until you put something in the mug, then it displays the temperature on a sliding scale along the bottom. You configure your Ember Mug 2 using the mobile app and it's all very straightforward. The Ember Mug 2 removes all doubt by telling you when the ideal temperature has been reached. How soon do you risk a sip? Too keen and you'll be rewarded with a scalded tongue, but leave it too long and you may miss the perfect temperature window when your hot drink is at its most pleasurable to slurp. There's always a gamble in that period after you make a cup of tea or coffee. It's not just about keeping your drink warm.
I've gotten so used to it that after just one week of testing, I don't think I can go back to a regular mug. A smart mug may sound ridiculous, and at $99.95, it's not a cheap purchase. The Ember Mug 2 is the top smart mug in our buying guide to coffee mugs because it aims to make your cold tea and coffee woes a thing of the past with temperature controls you can configure from your phone. So what do you do? You can pour it away and make a new cup, or give it a blast in the microwave, but neither is an ideal solution. That hasty glug of forgotten tea or coffee is always unpleasant. My wife does the same thing with almost every cup of tea I make her. How long does it take one to drink their coffee anyways? We like this mug warmer with its automatic shut off feature (with timer or after 8 hours), that will also cut power when you remove your cup off the surface.When I get absorbed in work, I frequently forget about the cup of coffee on my desk until it's gone cold and lost its allure. There are various mug warmers on Amazon available at a fraction of the cost. At least with Costco, you can return it with no questions asked if you don’t like it. It’s one of those sales where, if you’ve been waiting, this might be the time to jump on it. So far, many on RFD have noted this seems like a good deal. The mug comes with a charging base for the cup. You cannot microwave this mug or put it in the dishwasher.
The app just lets you set a custom LED colour or specific drink temperature. You don’t need a smartphone app to control the Ember Mug 2, as it’s preset to 135 F (57.2C) out of the box.
