This was my local book club’s book of the month, and I highly recommend it! It’s a really insightful look into Trevor Noah’s life as a child growing up in apartheid South Africa. Well now, we can live like the Beyonce’s and the Gates’ 😉 Born a Crime – Trevor Noah It is the absolute first world answer to a first world problem, which should only be reserved really for the top 1%. Too hot? You can use the app to cool it down and set it at the exact temperature you prefer. I sometimes heat up a cup of tea, and leave it and forget about it, only to greet it hours later with an, “…oh yeah.” This mug uses smart technology (and it has an app–what!) to control your temperature and keep it at that temperature. If you’re like me, you take forever to finish your hot beverage. I figured I would kick of September with a recap of Summer…an ode to the glory days before the cold hits. As I said earlier, the capacity is right for smaller drinks and standard sized milk ones, but it is quite small if you want a ‘proper’ mug full.Well, Fall is upon us, which means there are a LOT of Fall favorites ahead. When I’m working in the Trusted Reviews Home Tech Lab, I tend to have periods of setting up tests with the Ember Cup, I can walk off to do a test and still come back to a hot coffee.Ĭapacity wise, I poured a 150ml Nespresso Vertuo capsule and, with the foam, this came right to the top of the cup. I could walk away from a cup of coffee and still have it at 57☌ an hour later. I found that battery life was spot on for my needs. A black coffee will last a good amount of time a cappuccino or other milk drink, will lose its foam and start looking a bit sad if left for too long.
Of course, there are natural limits to this. If you really need more time than that, keeping the Ember Cup on its charging coaster will keep it hot indefinitely. With the battery fully charged, via the charging coaster, the Ember Cup will keep drinks warm for up to 90 minutes.

Once connected via Bluetooth to your phone, the app lets you set the target temperature for your drink, either choosing a temperature between 50☌ and 65☌ or using the pre-set options, such as coffee or tea.

A standard ‘mug’ is around 230ml, the volume poured by the larger Nespresso Vertuo capsules here, that would overflow the Ember Cup. If you want something that can handle larger drinks, you’re out of luck. A typical cappuccino will be somewhere around 150ml to 175ml, comprised of equal parts espresso, milk and froth.įor the majority of milk-based drinks, this cup is just about the right space, with its wide top and curved body making it relatively easy to add milk into a shot of espresso. The reason for the smaller capacity is that Ember says the Cup is designed for espresso-based drinks, such as cappuccinos, flat whites and cortados.
In comparison, the smaller Ember Mug has a 295ml capacity and the larger one 410ml.
Externally this cup seems big, but there’s only a smaller space available inside, as the rest of the cup is taken up with the battery and heating element. Looks aside, the big difference between this version and the Ember Mug is capacity. Aside from the colour, both versions operate in the same way. I’ve got the copper version on test, which looks beautiful, but there’s a plain black version, too. Handle-free, this mug looks like the kind of cup you’d get at an upmarket coffee shop, which is exactly the look that Ember is going for. The regular Ember Mug 2 is designed to look and feel like a regular mug, complete with a handle, but the Ember Cup is built to be different.
