The best-tested Ember Mug 2 has been on many wish lists for years. It’s an intuitive, app-compatible smart mug that keeps coffee, tea and perhaps your seasonal hot cocoa at the perfect temperature. Typically, the brand promotes its muted or neutral colors, but recently Lavender and Powder Blue variations have become available on the brand’s site in the 14-ounce size mug only.

Let lukewarm beverages be a thing of the past! The Ember Mug 2 lets you set your ideal drink temperature via the app so it'll never be too hot or cold.

How it works: It uses auto-detection to create a convection current after the liquid is poured into the mug. More specifically, the default temperature is 135 degrees Fahrenheit, but with the app, you can go as low as 120 and as high as 150. The Ember app has a simple UX, and it’s easy to pair your device or mug almost immediately after opening.

Whether you use this as a travel coffee mug on neighborhood strolls or want to lounge with it on your porch, these new colors will brighten up any cuppa. I’ve even had coworkers bring their Ember mugs into the office to avoid making a fresh pot when the coffee goes cold. It’s a sound investment if you want to savor every last drop at your ideal temperature.
