Seriously, once you use an Ember Mug, there's no going back. The app itself is easy to use, and being able to customize your own LED color and temperature presets is a breeze. The Ember Smart Mug is made from premium materials, the charging coaster can keep your drink at optimal temperature all day, and the battery life is pretty good if you don't use the coaster while drinking. And if you're burying yourself in work (as I often do), you may forget about your drink until it's too late. I also just like to have a mug of coffee while I work to help me feel energized and focused. So you go to a meeting, and your mug keeps your coffee warm, but discharges the battery to 15 while you are there. It will maintain the battery at whatever level it is currently at, but not recharge until the mug is empty. Yes, one could argue that the person should just drink the beverage faster, but some of us like to sip and savor our morning coffee or tea. Mug doesnt charge while there is a beverage in it, even if on the charger coaster. While this fancy mug costs a pretty penny, I think that it's worth it if you drink coffee or tea at home, and often get tired that it's cold by the time you finish it. This mug is life changing, seriously Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2: The Bottom Line Still, it has a hefty price of admission. But it's definitely one of those things that you didn't know you needed until you actually use it. The biggest pain point of the Ember Smart Mug is the price - it's not cheap. You'll also have to exercise extreme caution with the bottom of the mug after washing it - if it's wet at all, it won't properly charge on the coaster. size available, and just get rid of the 10 oz. should be the starting size, with a larger 16 or 20 oz. of water, and that's leaving just barely enough space for the amount of creamer I want in my 14 oz. size is a joke - it's just way too small! My single serve Keurig can load up to 12 oz. I think it would feel like it lasts longer if you brew a pot of coffee and then just pour it in to your Ember Mug, so it may be due to the fact that I'm using a Keurig machine. It's a little annoying, but I wish the battery lasted a tad longer for situations like that. The mug's battery also discharges the moment you take it off the charger, so I am guessing that the missing battery time is going to the time my cup spends sitting there as my Keurig brews. I often get a warning notification on my phone that my battery is low about an hour in, and I'm not even halfway through my drink yet. I feel that it is usually about an hour, but the last 20 minutes is a hit or miss. While Ember advertises 80 minutes on the Smart Mug 2, that doesn't feel accurate every day. So whether you're looking for a way to treat yourself in the midst of the chilly season, or you're looking for a flawless gift for the " don't talk to me before coffee" type tea devotee, or hot cocoa lovers on your list, this little luxury is a guaranteed winner.Ember Smart Mug 2 Bottom (Image credit: Christine Romero-Chan / iMore) It also has a built-in LED to let you know when the battery is getting low so you can set it back on the handy charging coaster and get even more heating time out of it, and also senses when your cup is empty to turn itself off-ideal for perpetually in-a-rush types and the more forgetful of us alike.Ī few years ago I got one for my mother, who's so busy she's become famous for finding yesterday's coffee in the microwave after getting so distracted in her multiple attempts to reheat her morning joe that she ends up losing it completely, and it's been an absolute game-changer. Equipped with a sensor to tell the exact temperature of your chosen beverage (you can dial in your ideal heat preference through an app on your phone) the Ember gently maintains that perfect level of warmth-anywhere between 120 and 145 degrees-automatically for up to 80 minutes for the 14 oz size, or 90 minutes for the 10 oz version.
