Ember mugs update#
Yet we can’t help but feel a little daft when needing an app to update our mug’s firmware. They can keep a drink warm for over an hour, and look rather stylish as far as kitchenware goes, with no shortage of colours to choose from. Tea drinkers and coffee addicts should be in no doubt: an Ember Mug 2 or Ember Cup will serve your thirst-quenching habits well. We twiddled our thumbs for 50 minutes before a cup of regular tap water hit 62 degrees, so don’t think of this as a replacement for a regular kettle. If you’re sat at a desk, it makes sense to use the coaster anyway – unless you’re a fan of circular stains on all your furniture.Ĭould you use an Ember Mug or Cup to heat up cold water? Yes, but the firm doesn’t recommend it. At least the app notifies you when you’re at 5% charge, so you can pop it on the charging coaster.
Ember mugs full#
We’ve at times not even made it through a full cup before the battery trickles out. Drink your cuppa as normal and you’ll make it through a few tea breaks, but if you regularly forget about your brew, it’ll be a different story. The battery is slated to last around one and a half hours, although we found that estimate was a little high. It didn’t drop below our in-app target, either. It doesn’t just keep the bottom part of the mug toasty and the top part lukewarm, with all of the liquid being kept at roughly the same temperature. The heating element doesn’t radiate outwards, which isn’t just good for power efficiency: it means you won’t need oven gloves just to take a sip, as it’s less warm to the touch than a normal ceramic mug. When you return it’ll be at just the right temperature. It then holds the temperature at your preferred default, or you can pick a different one on the fly.Įach Ember mug can hold drinks between 50☌ – 62.5 ☌, meaning you can leave your cuppa and do something else. You make your brew (tea or coffee) as you would any other, with sensors automatically switching on the heating element when you pour liquid into the mug. We’ve not seen any smart tech that can raise the heat (pardon the pun) on your hot drinks game quite like an Ember mug does.

Swiping up reveals preset temperatures (with an option to program in your own), a tea timer, and rather oddly, some recipes. The main page lets you quickly adjust the temperature with a quick swipe to the left or right.
Ember mugs Bluetooth#
You have to select a mug to connect to when first opening the app, which irks if you only have the one – surely it can tell using the Bluetooth connection. Ember’s works rather well it’s simple, not too cluttered, and really responsive.
