Product Information

Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. You can also use the app to choose the LED color that shows up on your Mug 2 and sync it with Apple Health if you want to track caffeine consumption. My initial skepticism slowly turned to intrigue when I noticed how much coffee I would drink in a day because I would forget about it, it gets cold, drink it quickly, make a new coffee, rinse and repeat. When I step away from my mug, it's long enough that I'd notice a decrease in temp if I were using a regular mug, but often only 10 to 15 minutes. We also looked at how they delivered information: some mugs signaled that they were fully charged, needed charging, or were at their ideal temperature through a series of colors and flashing lights, which were not always intuitive.

We didn’t have any issues cleaning it, but we were careful to avoid using any abrasive cleaners, per the manual’s recommendations.Other mugs fluctuated in temperature every now and then, but the ionMug barely wavered, keeping at a steady 133°F (it was programmed to 135, and I felt that a +/- range of two degrees was acceptable) at almost every temperature check interval. That’s where the Ember Travel Mug² steps in, using a high-tech design and smart technology to keep your drink at the perfect temperature for the entirety of your commute. Will affect the taste of your coffee: The other issue, which isn't specific to Ember but applies: All heated mugs will change the flavor of your coffee over time for the worse — similar to the way drip coffee continues to “cook” when it’s kept warm on a heating plate. We looked for mugs that delivered on their stated promise: did they keep coffee at a pleasant temperature over an extended period of time? A combination of award-winning design, smart technology and premium materials, this just might be the ultimate comfort.

The YETI boasts a 20-ounce capacity, while the Ember Travel Mug² can only hold a maximum of 12 ounces.Use the Ember app to set your temperature, customise presets for your favourite drinks, receive notifications when your desired temperature is reached, personalise your mug and more.

This setup took just a couple of minutes, and after the mug has synced with your phone, you can adjust the temperature of your beverages from the app.After getting my hands on one, I couldn't go back to not having a perfect-temperature coffee on my desk at any time. ounces is on the smaller side for a travel cup and I do wish that it held more, but it needs to fit in a cup holder and have space for the battery, heating elements, and other hardware. The Ember app will allow you to adjust your preferred temperature, add preset temperatures, and notify you when your beverage has hit your perfect drinking temperature. There are hotplates available where you can control the temperature, but because they don’t come with their own mugs, you have a different problem: these mugs are going to get hot.

After the mug ran of out battery (which took about three hours) its tapered shape meant that coffee cooled at a much slower rate than any of its competitors. With the YETI, there is some unpredictability regarding the beverage’s temperature, but it’s still able to maintain hot temperatures for several hours. Whether you prefer coffee, tea, or a hot-tail, we invite you to savour your beverage at the optimal temperature, tailored precisely to your liking. 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. Every time I walked from one room to another, I got a notification asking me to reconnect the mug and app.

The Ember Mug uses a press down lid, which I like because it doesn't seem to leak at all, but is easy to drink from.
