It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday (31st March 2019) and if you haven’t found the perfect gift for your Mum, I have the solution.
There are many things you miss when you become a Mum – a social life, using the bathroom uninterupted … but at the top of the list is the ability to drink a cup of tea (or coffee) whilst it’s still hot.
Then, as the kids get older you start playing Mum’s taxi, ferrying them to their various clubs, sporting venues etc and parties, many of which you are expected to hang around, often in inclement weather.
Introducing Ember – the mug that lets users set and maintain their ideal drinking temperature for hot beverages – right down to the exact degree.
There are two types of mug to choose from, The Ember Ceramic Mug and the Ember Travel Mug.
The Ember Ceramic Mug
The Ember Ceramic Mug gives users complete control over their drinking temperature for hot beverages right down to the exact degree (50 – 62°C), ensuring each sip is as good as the first.
Users simply connect to the Ember mobile app to remotely set the desired drinking temperature, receive notifications when that temperature is reached, save pre-sets for favourite hot drinks and more.
It will keep hot beverages at the perfect temperature for approximately one hours, or all day long when used with the charging coaster.
The Ember Travel Mug
Ember’s patented thermal technology and award-winning industrial design allows users to enjoy a hot beverage at their perfect temperature, wherever they go, in style. As with the Ceramic Mug, the Ember Travel Mug allows users to set and maintain their ideal drinking temperature to the exact degree (50 – 62°C). The Ember Travel Mug will notify users when their drink is at the selected temperature, ensuring no more burnt tongues, or unpleasant lukewarm coffee.
Users can adjust the temperature by using the Ember app or via the rotating dial at the base of the mug. Through the app, users can remotely set their desired drinking temperature, receive notifications when that temperature is reached, save presets for their favourite drinks, and more. It will keep hot beverages at the perfect temperature for approximately two hours on the go, or all day long when used with the charging coaster.
The mugs are also fully integrated with the Apple Health app, allowing users to track their caffeine consumption daily.
We were sent the Ember Travel Mug to review and the first thing we noticed was that it was packaged in a similar way to an iPhone.
Inside the box:
- Ember Travel Mug
- 360° Leak-proof lid
- Charging Coaster
- Power adapter
- Quick-start guide
It is super simple to get started, plug the adapter in and sit the mug on top to charge it – it even flashes up “Hello”.
The Ember Travel Mug has a leak-proof, push-to-open lid which is designed to keep your hot beverage from spilling while on the go. The 360º drinking experience makes it convenient to sip from any side, and it is engineered for easy cleaning.
To adjust the temperature you can either rotate the dial at the base of the mug, or pair with the Ember app, available on App Store and Google Play, to set your desired drinking temperature.
The Ember app will notify you once your drink has reached your preferred temperature plus you can choose and save presets for different drinks, switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit and even name your mug.
There is however one small niggle with the travel mug – it is too large for the cup holders in the car.
The Ember Travel Mug has an RRP of £159.95 and the Ember Ceramic Mug has an RRP of £79.95 and both come in black or white colourways. Find out more at www.ember.com
That is an amazing idea! I am forever microwaving my coffee because it gets too cold!
As a travel blogger I think this is an excellent idea. It looks quite large though, does it come in a smaller size?
wow this sounds really fab – perfect for a busy mum. Shame about the car cup holder though 🙁
This sounds perfect for both busy mums and for when travelling – nobody likes a hot drink gone cold!
What a fantastic idea! So clever! Would make for a fab mothers day gift. x
This is such a great product – and so useful both inside and outside the house! I don’t drink hot drinks that often, but I could definitely see myself using it whenever I do (or even for soup!)
Ohh the travel mug looks really cool, love the idea of that x
This mug sounds insane! I love it – I use a reusable mug everyday and having been using the same one for the last five years so I am definitely due a new one!
What an amazing mug. This would work as a great gift idea for sure.
What a truly impressive mug, definitely something I would love to have myself but would also make a lovely gift.
This is the perfect mother’s day gift for those mums on the go – which I’m sure is all of them! x
The travel mug sounds great, it would definitely make a good present for busy mums. My daughter is 16 now and I’m still not sure I can remember what a hot cup of tea is haha!
It’s an iMug! That’s awesome! I’ve love one of those for camping and festivals! Great Review Kara x
This looks handy, I have never seen anything like this before x
Ok this is a gift idea that I think is so handy and useful. I spend a lot of time in cold hockey arenas and a hot beverage is a must.
