![]() On the bottom is a slider - use this to select your preferred temperature (up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit). Once you’re in the app, it will say “Empty” to indicate there’s nothing in your mug. Then, hold the power button on the bottom of the mug until the LED flashes blue. To do so, tap “Pair new device” after opening the app for the first time. Before you use it, you’ll need to pair your mug with the app. The Ember app is rather simple, but an app that controls a mug doesn’t need too many bells and whistles. And if the light is red, it’s time to charge up. Once it’s solid, that means it’s hit the sweet spot. For example, when it’s slowly pulsing, that means it’s bringing your beverage up to temperature. Right on the front, beneath the Ember 2 logo, is an LED that provides info on both the status of your drink and the battery remaining in the mug. Don’t worry, metric mates, you can change the readings to celsius in the settings. The app provides both your selected temperature and the current temperature of your drink. However, with the Ember app, you can define any temperature between 120 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit. But then again, a nifty invention called ice has us covered on that front.īy default, the mug aims to keep liquids at 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, it can’t keep things cool, which would have been double the fun. And while it can heat up liquids from cooler temperatures, its main purpose is to maintain the heat of an already piping beverage. Likewise, it’ll go to sleep after a time if it’s empty. ![]() It will automatically detect when liquid’s inside and begin heating. It keeps your drink toasty by creating a convection current in whatever liquid you fill it with. It comes in three styles: 10 ounces in white, 10 ounces in black and 14 ounces in black. I’ve mostly switched over to the Ember.The Ember Mug 2 is a rechargeable stainless steel mug surrounded by a ceramic coating (tip: do not microwave it). It’s not the most ergonomic design, so I’ll still occasionally use a regular mug that has a bigger handle. It’s too small to put all your fingers through to get a solid grip on the mug’s base. Because lukewarm lemon water tastes much less therapeutic during my over-the-top morning routine than warm lemon water, I appreciate its contribution. I don’t use my Ember for coffee, but rather lemon water (yes, I’m from California) so it’s pretty easy to clean and doesn’t have a lingering coffee smell. You can take it outside, sip on it in the chilly morning air and know it’ll still touch your lips with the same warming embrace as it did five minutes ago. I’ve had my Ember for two months, and my biggest takeaway is that it awards you a certain freedom you don’t have with time-sensitive foods and beverages not in expensive, regulated containers. My experience with the Ember so far has been quite pleasant, and not just because holding a mug of something that’s warm is nice (which it is). Syncs with Ember app, Smart LED indicates when your coffee has reached prime temperature, Auto-sleep function It also has a few notable specs that give it quite the edge over your niece’s lopsided, hand-sculpted mug she made in a 6th grade art classroom. So while it’s pricey, it’s a long term investment in making a small ritual (almost) everyone does much easier and more pleasant. ![]() That’s more than $45 even if you’re buying from Dunkin’. Put differently, you’re tossing 3.6 20 ounce bags of beans in the trash every year. That’s almost 6 ounces of beans discarded monthly. If you’re pouring a half a cup down the drain every work day, that’s an average of 10.81 cups a month at – if you’re doing it right –. The price tag may seem steep, but think about the cost of all the coffee (or tea) that gets poured down the drain. If you’re frequently pouring tea or other to-go liquids you paid an arm and a leg for down the drain because they got too cold too fast it’s time to make a change. We live in a world of endless distraction, and none of us can afford to let our $7 lattes go cold because our boss decided 7am was the ideal time to Slack you “helpful” reminders that your client’s deliverable is, in fact, due today. That feeling that if you don’t immediately sip at a consistent pace the second half of your drink is going to be lukewarm and mediocre? Consider it gone with Ember as your trusty vessel. Through silencing the ticking time bomb that’s triggered as soon as you pour yourself anything warm, it makes the whole morning beverage ritual much more enjoyable. ![]() This is not an exaggeration: the Ember Mug has revolutionized my daily routine.
