Say so long to lukewarm drinks with the arrival of a cup that keeps your brew hot.
Good news for those who feel that their morning coffee (or tea for that matter) turns cold in an instant – there’s now a mug for that. Perhaps mug is too simple a term for a device that uses patented technology and features an award-winning design to help you choose and maintain your desired heat of choice for your daily cuppa, but it’s been deemed a mug nonetheless.
Enter the Ember Ceramic Mug, the world’s first temperature-controlled mug that comes courtesy of entrepreneur Clay Alexander. To curb cold coffee and tea for good, the crafty tool will help you maintain a given temperature of up to 60 degrees for up to an hour, meaning it doesn’t matter how slow you sip.
The mug works through the assistance of a Bluetooth connection and an app on your phone. Designed for use at home or on your desk, it sits on a saucer that doubles as a charger keeping your coffee hot indefinitely. Conveniently it also adheres to different heat presets that you can pick and choose for different drinks, and will notify you once your drink has reached your preferred temperature.
At $AUD130, the Ember Mug is not cheap but for those eager to forgo lukewarm coffees for good, we’re sure it’s a worthy investment. In fact, it’s not just us who think so; the Ember Ceramic Mug has been recognised as a part of the TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of the Year, the IDSA International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) and Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards.
