Ember mugs seldom go on sale, this is for the larger 414ml size as well which is nice. Seems to be white only that's on special.

    Choose the exact temperature you prefer (between 48.9°C and 62.8°C

    Already too cold!

    will maintain your desired drinking temperature for up to 1.5 hours

    Don't know about that!

    A double wall stainless mug works well.

      What temperature do you drink your drinks at?

        70c is nice.

                @eug: I think you just have weak tongue lol. I have some kind of kettle that I can set desired temperature so I know 70c is hot but doesn't quite burn.

                  @theadeptus1: What kind of hot drink do you make? If it's tea or coffee with milk, the milk is cold and would lower the temperature of the water. By the time you stir the drink to mix the water and milk, the drink would have cooled quite a bit.

                  I'm flattered that you think I'm a surgeon who wrote a book on burns treatment. :)

                  I'd bet that the temperature reading is wrong. If you have a proper thermometer you can confirm it.

                  @theadeptus1: I like some beverages at 70° from the kettle, but using ember the temp was way lower.

                @eug: I always ask my Barista to keep the coffee at 63 to 65 degrees celcius extra hot. Never had a burn, i am used to it for a long time now.

                • eug on 02/06/2023 - 00:31

                  @pankajdixit: I wonder if your barista actually measures the temperature of your drink before serving it, or just estimates it.

                  The volume of liquid makes a difference too. If you sip your drink the small amount of heat will dissipate more quickly than if you drank more quickly.

    aliexpress. mug warmer.

    you are welcome.

    • eug on 01/06/2023 - 22:32

      This has a battery.

      • lint on 02/06/2023 - 10:26

        But why would you use a battery to keep a mug warm for 90min when a double wall insulated mug does the same thing for even longer.

        • eug on 02/06/2023 - 11:38

          But why would you use a battery to keep a mug warm for 90min when a double wall insulated mug does the same thing for even longer.

          When you make a cup of tea, you use boiling water. If you poured that into a double wall insulated mug, it will stay far too hot for too long.

          With a mug like this, the temperature will drop naturally until it reaches your preset temperature, e.g. 53 degrees. It will then keep it there so your drink will be at the right temperature for as long as you want it to be. You can sip on your coffee over an hour or two and it'll still be at the perfect temperature.

          This is definitely a low-volume niche item. Everyone drinks hot drinks differently so it absolutely won't make sense to everyone, just like how $1,400 iPhones don't make sense to everyone. It does make sense to some people though, as difficult as it is to understand.

          Expensive niche things like this makes good gifts for enthusiastic beverage drinkers, e.g. coffee snobs. It's something they might be interested in but expensive enough that they can't justify it.

          • lint on 02/06/2023 - 16:38

            @eug: I'm not even talking about the cost. It just seems over engineered to solve a problem that doesn't exist because it's largely already solved by double walled mugs without waste of resources that go into producing this and using it.

            Seriously, we're talking about 90 minutes here, it's not a particularly long time. You could just make your tea in an insulated mug, then add some cold water to get the temperature to what you want it at and it'll keep it close to that for hours.

            • eug on 02/06/2023 - 16:52

              @lint:

              to solve a problem that doesn't exist

              Don't forget that different people are… different. Just because you don't think something is useful doesn't mean nobody else in the world thinks so too.

              I get that you find it impossible to even imagine a scenario where someone would find it better than an insulated mug. Just remember that you're only thinking of how you do things and that other people have different ways of doing things.

              Seriously, we're talking about 90 minutes here, it's not a particularly long time.

              90 minutes is only when it is off the dock. If you're sitting at your desk you would just place it on the dock, like a coaster. It can then keep your drink warm indefinitely. Halfway through the day you can go for a meeting in another room; that's when you'd make use of the battery.

        • Lastora on 02/06/2023 - 17:38

          Insulated mugs do not keep constant temperature, it begins to drop from the moment the liquid is poured in. Also as others have mentioned, if you are at your desk, the coaster keeps the mug powered.

      Wait till you see how many people spend $150k on cars without a second thought. :)

      • stevarja on 02/06/2023 - 03:55

        Straight from landlord's playbook: With expensive, big, fancy d1ck cars, you can show em to ur clients and friends and that would bring prestige, class and hopefully girls, jobs and money.

    • niravioli on 02/06/2023 - 00:43

      Exactly what I was thinking. I just chug it down or use microwave lol.

  • videoman on 01/06/2023 - 23:41

      Have had mine for nearly 1 year and no problems with it so far. Bluetooth can be a bit finnicky with Android (iPhone seems fine), once you update the firmware and set the temperature it's not really needed anyway.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/Breville-BMF600BSS-Milk-Frother-Si… buy this instead
    can warm up your drink to a specific temp
    also good for making hot chocolates etc

    obviously awesome for milk frothing too.

      This is probably one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

      You could say that about a lot of things.

      e.g. A jacket that costs $699 - on sale. After all, you can buy jackets from Target for $71 right?

      You have to remember that different people put value in different things. That jacket might be super comfortable or the design might appeal to you, but it would look like a completely ridiculous overpriced piece of cloth to someone who simply wears jackets to keep warm.

      A mug like this will absolutely look ridiculous and overpriced to someone who just chugs down a cup of coffee at breakfast, but it can appeal to people who appreciate the taste of different coffee beans and preparation methods, and would like to sip their coffee while sitting at their desk over the course of an hour or two at 54C rather than just chugging it down at whatever temperature it happens to be at.

        This would be nice for me actually for tea. I wouldn't buy it for the price, but I am one of those above-discussed people with weak tongues. My range for not scalding while not tepid is very small. When I wait for my tea to cool down naturally, I often overshoot it and then have a cup of herbal bath water. If this was ~$60, sign me up.

        • eug on 02/06/2023 - 13:02

          I'm not a coffee drinker myself, I actually use mine for tea. It works really, really well for that.

          I wouldn't buy it for the price

          Me neither. It's a ridiculous price for a mug. A friend gave me one as a present.

          I found it worked so well that …. I ended up buying one for work. Whoops.
