Tired of your coffee or tea getting cold too quickly when you’re on the move? The Ember Travel Mug 2 is engineered to solve this problem, ensuring your favorite hot beverages stay at your ideal drinking temperature for longer. Unlike a normal travel mug that simply insulates to keep drinks hot, the Ember Travel Mug 2 actively maintains your chosen temperature, making it a true game-changer for beverage enthusiasts. Consider it your smart travel mug, or a heated coffee tumbler that puts you in control of every sip.
Understanding How the Ember Travel Mug 2 Works
What sets the Ember Travel Mug 2 apart? It’s the intelligent technology inside. This smart mug uses a combination of sophisticated components to precisely manage the temperature of your drink. Seven temperature sensors continuously monitor the liquid, while a rapid cooling system and a microprocessor-controlled heating system work in tandem to either cool down or heat up your beverage as needed. Temperature presets further simplify the process, allowing you to quickly select your preferred heat level. All of these elements work together to deliver a consistently perfect drinking experience.
Getting Started with Your Ember Travel Mug 2
Using the Ember Travel Mug 2 is straightforward and intuitive. Once you’ve poured in your hot coffee, tea, or any preferred drink, simply activate the mug by tapping the ‘Ember’ logo twice. To adjust the temperature directly on the mug, use the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons. For a more customized experience, download the Ember app and connect your mug via Bluetooth to your smartphone. The app not only lets you dial in your exact preferred temperature but also sends notifications when your drink has reached that perfect point.
Important Considerations for Ember Travel Mug 2 Users
To ensure you get the most out of your Ember Travel Mug 2 and maintain its longevity, here are a few key points to keep in mind:
Microwave Safety: Never Microwave Your Ember Mug
It’s crucial to remember that the Ember Travel Mug 2 is an electronic device and should never be placed in a microwave. Microwaving electronic devices, especially those containing metal, can create a fire hazard and will cause irreparable damage to your smart mug. Treat your Ember Travel Mug 2 like any other electronic device and keep it away from microwaves.
Smartphone Optional: Using Ember Without the App
While the Ember app unlocks advanced features, a smartphone isn’t essential for basic operation. You can use your Ember Travel Mug 2 independently by tapping the ‘Ember’ logo and using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons to set your desired temperature. Using the mug without the app means you’ll miss out on features like personalized naming and saving presets for different beverages, but core temperature control remains fully functional.
Battery Life Expectations for Your Heated Mug
The Ember Travel Mug 2 is designed for portability, with an average battery life of approximately three hours when fully charged. This estimate is based on pouring in a hot liquid and setting a target temperature of 135°F (57°C). Keep in mind that battery performance can fluctuate based on several external factors. Colder ambient temperatures, starting with a cooler liquid, higher set temperatures, and frequent lid removal can all impact battery duration. Conversely, if you prefer a cooler drinking temperature, you can expect the battery to last somewhat longer.
MCT Oil and Your Ember Mug: A Word of Caution
It’s advised to avoid using MCT oils with your Ember Travel Mug 2. MCT oils, sometimes found in dietary supplements and drink additives, can react negatively with certain plastics. The lid of the Ember Travel Mug 2 uses food-grade plastic which can degrade upon contact with MCT oils. For items containing MCT oils, it’s best to use containers made of materials like metal, glass, or ceramic.
Where Can You Purchase the Ember Travel Mug 2?
Looking to buy an Ember Travel Mug 2? Besides the official Ember website (Ember.com), you can find Ember products at major retailers worldwide. Popular locations include Apple Stores, Best Buy, Target, Starbucks, Harrod’s, and Bloomingdale’s. Availability of specific models, colors, and sizes may vary by retailer, so check with your local stores for the most up-to-date selection.
Phone Compatibility with the Ember App
The Ember Travel Mug 2 app is designed to be compatible with a wide range of smartphones. However, due to ongoing updates to both iOS and Android Bluetooth technology, compatibility can sometimes be device-specific. Ember maintains a regularly updated list of compatible devices, which you can find on their support website full list of compatible devices*. It’s worth noting that newer phones not yet officially listed may still be compatible, as Ember continuously tests and expands device support.
With the Ember Travel Mug 2, say goodbye to lukewarm drinks. Enjoy every sip of your coffee, tea, or hot beverage at your personally perfect temperature, wherever your day takes you.
