Some “smart” product ideas are too complicated to be useful. The Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 isn’t one of them. It’s a mug with a warming dock underneath that keeps your drink at a precise temperature for up to 80 minutes. It retails for $150, but it’s currently 27% off on Amazon and going for $109, $40 lower than its average price for 2023.
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2
Miranda Priestly famously wants her coffee “surface-of-the-sun hot.” This would have saved Anne Hathaway a lot of grief.
It’s also a perfect gift for dads because it’s an elevated, more luxurious upgrade to something he already does each day: drink coffee. The Ember’s 14-ounce capacity can be heated between 120 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and it defaults to the previously set temperature each time you turn it on.
If “self-warming” brings visions of uncontrollable flames, that’s most likely not a concern. The Ember works like a kettle. The auto-sleep feature activates when the mug is empty or after two hours of inactivity. It “wakes up” with movement or when a liquid is added. The scratch-resistant coating also makes it safe for handwashing, and it can handle full submersion up to 1 meter deep.
