The Ember Mug 2, specifically the 14 oz version, is designed to keep your drink at a cozy temperatureâanywhere between 120°F and 145°Fâfor up to 80 minutes just on its battery. If you place it on the charging coaster, it can keep your drink toasty all day, according to the manufacturer's description. It's got features like a built-in heating element you can control through an app, which lets you dial in your perfect sipping temp.
From what we've found, the mug usually manages to keep your drink at the set temperature for the battery's expected life. Quite a few folks have appreciated how it kicks in automatically and keeps their drink warm without much fuss.
That said, there are some mixed responses. It seems that a few people have noticed the battery doesn't always last the full 80 minutes, especially if the drink starts off cooler or in certain conditions.
You can also tweak things like the LED light color and set different temperature presets through the app, which can be fun. But, bear in mind that you'll need to reconnect via Bluetooth every so often, which some people find a little inconvenient.
If you're using the mug in various places and just relying on the battery, remember that its performance might dip as the battery runs down. So, it's a good idea to keep the charging coaster nearby, like at your desk or on the kitchen counter, for consistently good results.
All in all, the Ember Mug 2 gets a lot of love for its techy perks and the way it keeps drinks at just the right temperature. But, compared to regular mugs, it's a bit of an investment.
If having your drink just right is a big deal for you and you don't mind spending a bit more, this could be a great gadget to have in your daily lineup.
