Making a cup of coffee or tea can be one of your favorite parts of your morning routine. But if you don’t drink it right away, it inevitably gets cold and needs to be reheated. And reheated coffee and tea just don’t taste the same. But if you have the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2, you can keep your beverages hot all day long. Being able to sip your cuppa leisurely thanks to this app-controlled mug, that’s 20% off right now, just might be the best thing to happen to your morning routine. Here’s what makes this smart mug worth it.

The Ember Mug 2 is a great choice to take with you on your morning commute, as long as you get the Sliding Ember Lid (sold separately). This 10-ounce smart mug can keep your drink hot at your chosen temperature (120°F to 145°F) for up to 90 minutes. Ember is battery powered when not on its charging coaster, and the sliding Ember lid doubles the standard battery life. Once you get to your desk, you can use the charging coaster and keep your beverage hot for the rest of the day.

The Ember is easy to use, as the mug wakes up when hot liquid is poured in and an LED light comes on to indicate that your drink is the right temperature. The mug will go into hibernation mode based on motion detection that senses when it’s no longer in use. You can set the exact temperature you want your drink to be through the Ember app. (If you choose not to use the app, the mug will default to 135°F.) The app also allows you to set features including auto sleep and remembering the last temperature you set. When you’re done with your drink for the day, the Ember is easily hand washed.

If you hate going back and forth to the microwave during a busy day, the Ember is a great solution. One customer says, “I can only drink my coffee hot, and this cup will keep my coffee at 145 degrees for as long as it takes me to drink it.” It’s also good for a leisurely evening routine as another customer says, “This was a wonderful Christmas gift for my wife. The application is easy to use and to control the temperature. She uses it nearly every evening to drink her tea.”

Getting a smart mug could be a smart decision if you’re looking for a more efficient way to keep drinks hot. It’s a great buy, especially when you consider the daily use a mug warmer will get. You can get it now while it is still 22% off.
