The Travel Mug 2 also aced the heat retention tests, but the Cup did come in under the set temperature for much of the 90-minute battery life. Even better: The mug itself does not overheat, so I have never burned my lips, as I have with some other mugs. In my daily life, I never felt a drop in temperature during regular use. One tester of the Mug 2 said, 'I was especially impressed that it not only kept my coffee hot, but it also heated up lukewarm leftover coffee by 20 degrees in only five minutes.' In my Lab tests, the Mug 2 held the set temperature for nearly its entire battery life, dropping only slightly in the last 15 minutes. Both the Mug 2 and Cup have been tested in our Lab and sent to consumer testers, and both got positive feedback, leading them to earn our 2021 Kitchen Gear Awards and 2022 Coffee Awards, respectively. With the Ember mug, I feel like I've granted myself a grace period because I know my drink will still be hot when I come back to it. only to realize I need to do something away from my desk. I use my Ember Mug 2 when I'm at the office, and apparently, I love to get a coffee and settle in. ✔️ Solid performance: It succeeds in its main objective: It keeps my coffee hot. When I pick up the mug, it's fully charged. The Ember charging coaster is a simple landing pad that's just permanently charging at my desk. I'm a coaster user, so I'm always putting my mugs down in a specified place anyway. ✔️ Simple to keep charged: I like that charging is easy.

The app even includes recipes like 'Chai Spiced White Hot Chocolate' and 'Beet Latte' if you want to expand your warm beverage repertoire. There's also a tea timer that offers an up-to-10-minute countdown within the app and also suggests steep timers for green, black and herbal teas. Milk-based drinks get a gentler heat to help prevent scalding.

I downloaded the app and paired it with my mug - and now, thanks to testing, multiple mugs. The good news: Ember felt set-it-and-forget-it to me. And I definitely didn't want to feel like I was on my phone when I wanted to be drinking coffee. I didn't want an Ember mug to add too much tech to a simple daily task. ✔️ Easy to use: A regular mug is inherently uncomplicated: You fill it you sip from it. The app will also send notifications when the set temperature is reached, but you can choose not to receive any. Out of the box, the default temperature is 135˚F (57˚C), but you can use the Ember app to set the temperature - in 1˚ increments - you prefer.
