Nothing warms the heart of a Brit quite like the anticipation of a steaming cup of tea. Yet, the plight of a forgotten and chilled brew is a betrayal of British tradition. Enter the Ember Mug2, a sophisticated (albeit pricey) remedy to this quintessentially British dilemma.
By syncing the Ember mug with your smartphone via its dedicated app, you receive notifications when your tea reaches your desired temperature. Plus, a heating element at the mug’s base ensures your tea stays warm until every last sip.
During our testing, we discovered that using two teabags produced a stronger brew. While it’s a bit disappointing that the mug can’t be charged via USB (due to its high power consumption necessitating its own plug socket), this is a small sacrifice for a generous 414ml mug of perfectly heated tea. Milk, no sugar (and two bags), please.
