![]() ![]() I’ve had the Ember mug for around three years and has no signs of wear and tear (other than a little coffee staining inside because it’s white).So, definitely think about what matters to you when shopping for the heated coffee cup of your dreams. All of these options have comparable battery life to the Ember as well. Their LED display is a little more detailed if you want to know when your mug is losing battery life, and it comes with a lid. The brand SmrtMugg sells their take on the Ember mug, the SmrtMugg Pro, for the same price as Ember’s cup. If you don’t want all the bells and whistles, you could also buy a heated mug coaster and use it with your existing mug collection. Both of these come with lids, if you’re worried about spills or sloshes, and the Cosori’s stainless steel design is a plus if you’re worried you might scratch the Ember’s ceramic coating. For starters, heated mugs with charging coasters can run as low as $39.99 from brands like ionMug, available at Walmart, and Cosori. There are plenty of other heated coffee cups on the market if something about the Ember doesn’t jive with you. (It will also recommend the perfect drinking temp for a latte or cappuccino in case, like most people, that’s not something you just happen to know.) It even has a tea timer to alert you when your tea is done steeping and ready for sipping. You can also set custom temperature parameters for different types of drinks, so if you like a piping hot macchiato in the morning and warm tea in the evenings, your Ember will respond accordingly. The Ember app for iOS and Android allows you to customize your mug, like setting the temperature you’d like your drinks to be kept at, and picking a color for the mug’s LED light. (You choose your ideal temp, anywhere between 120 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit, using the accompanying Ember app.) It’ll keep things nice and steamy for up to an hour and a half by itself, or all day if you keep it sitting on the coaster. You’ll see the LED light on the base of the mug start blinking, warming itself and your drink up to the perfect temperature. When you’re ready for coffee, just add it to the cup (or, I place mine directly onto my one-cup coffee maker). The Ember mug comes with a charging coaster that plugs into a wall outlet. Who it’s for: Fans of coffee or tea who find theirs always gets cold before they’re finished with it.When you’re working from home answering emails, the dogs need to go out to pee, and you’re trying to scarf down a makeshift breakfast all while keeping your baby alive, your coffee tends to get cold long before you’re done with it. ![]() And it just so happened to come into my life at the perfect time: in the first year of parenthood, when my baby was either eating, contact napping, or crawling toward something deadly at all times. Like, if they made me into a Barbie tomorrow, the Ember would be the accessory I came with (well, that and bike shorts). When he did, I immediately claimed it for my own and made space for it next to our coffee machine. So, when his company sent him home with an Ember mug as their end-of-the-year gift, it most definitely rattled around in the back seat of his truck for a few weeks before he mentioned it to me. It doesn’t matter what the weather’s like or what time of year it is, he is all about a cold caramel latte. One thing everyone knows about my husband: he’s a bonafide iced coffee girl. ![]()
