Ember New Temperature Control Smart Mug 2, 355 ml, Black, 3-hr Battery Life – App Controlled Heated Coffee Travel Mug – Improved Design

Product Information

Similar to many other travel mugs, the Ember Travel Mug’s interior is made of stainless steel, which can impart a certain metallic flavor on the beverages it comes in contact with. So here we are more than a year later, and it's time to share the upsides and downsides of this coffee tech. The difference between the Ember Tumbler and a typical vacuum-insulated tumbler is that the Ember Tumbler can keep your favorite hot beverage at your exact drinking temperature down to the degree. There’s no uniform understanding of the relationship between temperature and flavor (our article notes, for example, that “beer turns bitter when warmed from its typical serving temperature; coffee, on the other hand, has been found to taste less bitter when cooled down from piping-hot.

I wander bleary-eyed into the kitchen, add some water to the kettle, and start heating it to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, grind some coffee beans, get out the Chemex, add and rinse a new filter, put the whole thing on a scale, add 40 grams of beans, slowly pour in 600 milliliters of hot water, pour it into my trusty silver Yeti Rambler, and pad into the living room to either play with my son or look at TikTok on my phone. As mentioned, the Ember Travel Mug’s touchscreen is convenient for those times when you don’t necessarily want to pull out your phone. It has a soft touch silicone exterior in black and a stainless steel interior that holds 12 ounces of liquid.Its internal heating system will, by default, hold your drinks at 135 degrees Fahrenheit, but if you pair it via Bluetooth to your phone, you can use the Ember app to dial it exactly the way you like it. I let the Ember Mug's battery die and then I waited a full 48 hours to see how long the ‌Find My‌ feature would work, and ‌Find My‌ was still functional at that point. The Ember Mug is also able to heat up a beverage that has cooled down, so you can pour lukewarm coffee in it to heat it back up, though this takes a lot of time and doesn't seem to be the best use case.

And I used an amber mug made by the folks at MANUAL, and I can’t say if these results would be the same if I tested in a porcelain or ceramic mug.To get the full Ember experience, however, we’d recommend pairing the Ember Travel Mug with a smartphone.
