Perhaps you're wondering if this is a needless extravagance? Another pointless smart "thing"? We were sceptical too – until we actually tried it.. The Ember Mug² is brilliant. & it effortlessly solves a myriad of hot-drink hiccups that we (used to) encounter every single day. We've burnt our tongues on scalding-hot coffee & poured away neglected cups of ice-cold tea for the very last time! The premise is simple yet genius: You tell Ember what temperature you want your hot drink to be It cools it to your desired temperature It notifies you when it's ready with a smart LED light (you can even get app notifications if that's your thing) It keeps your mug at your perfect temperature until you're ready to drink it It also just looks really damn sexy sitting there on its stylish charging coaster Spontaneous meeting? No problem. Just really, really distracted & forgetful? Don't sweat it. Ember remembers. Ember's got your back. Needless to say, once you've tried the Ember Mug², your hot drinks will never be the same again. Well, actually they'll always be the same – because that's precisely what Ember does! Full disclaimer: Your colleagues & friends may mock you for you owning this. F*ck 'em! Seriously. They will never ever know the joy you're experiencing.
