Travelling around London for work reasons, blog events, to meet up with friends or to go shopping brings with it a whole lot of bad habits that I am trying to stop - too much plastic packaging and buying takeaway coffee. It is so easy as you travel around to move from coffee shop to coffee shop over the course of a few hours and before you realise that habit is not only expensive but incredibly wasteful. I have got and have used my fair share of travel cups and whilst they start off being quite the revelation, they soon become worn and tired and less useful, that cup which once gave you 3-4 hours of hot(ish) beverages starts to struggle to keep things warm for an hour, then I was kindly gifted the Ember Travel Mug² and I am pretty obsessed with it.
Designed to be used on-the-go, the new Ember Travel Mug² does more than simply keep your coffee hot, this smart mug not only allows you to set an exact drinking temperature but it also keeps it there for up to 3 hours, so your coffee is never too hot, or too cold.
If you love technology then you will absolutely love this mug because it is app-controlled. You use the Ember app to set your temperature, customise presets for your favourite drinks, receive notifications when your desired temperature is reached, personalise your mug, keep count of your caffeine intake and so much more. The app is so easy to use and follow that I set mine up within a few minutes and my mug was ready to use, but if you don't want to use the app, then the mug still works just as well without,
The Ember Travel Mug² works by using seven temperature sensors, a rapid cooling system, a microprocessor-controlled heating system and temperature presets to create your perfect temperature. On the front of the mug you simply need to tap the 'Ember' logo twice, then you will see both the '+' or '-' which you use on the mug to select your temperature. It is worth noting that the temperature presets are 120°F - 145°F (50°C - 62.5 °C) and it holds 12 fl. oz (355 ml) of liquid.
The Ember Travel Mug² is designed to last an average of three hours on the go. The three-hour battery life is expected when pouring in liquid hot, and a set temperature of 57°C. If you like it cooler, your battery will last longer, and if you like it hotter, then your battery will decrease slightly. At any time, you can tap the Ember sign and it will show you just how much battery life is left with an LED battery sign. Charging your travel mug is really easy, inside the box you will see a base for your Ember Travel Mug to sit on and you simply plug it in and let the mug charge.
As this is a travel mug, the Ember Travel Mug² has a leakproof, push-to-open lid which will not only keep your hot beverage hot, it will also ensure you don't spill it as you go. I can be quite clumsy when I am tired and have been known to just put my travel cups into my handbag without giving it a second thought, only to find later in the day my whole bag swimming in coffee. With this mug, the leakproof lid is absolutely that, it doesn't allow a single drop of liquid to escape unless of course, you open the lid to take a drink.
I think it is pretty obvious how much I love this mug and if it has captured your attention, you can read more about it via the Ember website and it costs £179.99 to purchase.
