Ember Smart Mug 2: Enjoy warm coffee anytime, anywhere 

Many of us start our day with a cup of coffee, but often, due to work commitments and distractions, we forget to drink it and it grows cold. However, there is a solution for those who face this common issue: the Ember Smart Mug 2. 

The Ember Smart Mug 2 is a convenient device that ensures your drink stays at the desired temperature. With the ability to heat your mug anywhere between 120-145 degrees Fahrenheit, this smart mug allows you to customize your preferred temperature. Using the companion app available for iOS and Android devices, you can easily set your desired temperature, adjust the LED brightness and select the LED colour in the app. The LED changes colour to indicate different statuses: red for low battery, solid white for reaching the target temperature, and blue for firmware updates. 

With a full charge, the Ember Smart Mug 2 can keep your drink warm for up to 80 minutes. Additionally, when placed on the charging coaster (excluding the times when you pick it up to sip), it can last throughout the day, maintaining the ideal temperature for whenever you’re ready to take a sip. The Ember Smart Mug 2 is a little overpriced. It comes in two sizes: 14oz (about 414.03 ml) / 414ml (US and UK only) and 10oz (about 295.74 ml), priced at US$179 (£140) and US$149 (£117) respectively.
