    When Ember launched their first self-heating mug, they elevated the coffee drinking game. And this year, they released the second generation of their travel mug.<\/p>\n

    The 12oz Travel Mug, which can fill up a tall drink if you're a Starbucks fan, allows you to take your hot brew on the go while keeping your drink at the temperature you like.<\/p>\n

    You might argue that it's a bit over-the-top to use a self-heating mug but for me, it's a game changer. It's also something that makes it luxury.<\/p>\n

    I'm a coffee and tea drinker and I have tried reusable mugs and vacuum flasks before, so what's the difference between those and the Ember Travel Mug 2+?<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The smart tumbler has a touch panel on the Ember logo where you can check the battery level and set an exact drinking temperature between 50\u00b0C and 62.5 \u00b0C , which is the ideal range to sip your cuppa without burning your mouth.<\/p>\n

    Once fully charged, it has a battery life of three hours, great for taking a stroll in a park. It also has a leakproof lid that prevents any spillage.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    But on a work-from-home day, I'd keep it on the charging coaster to keep my drink warm all day long. I wish it had a USB charger so I could plug it into my laptop but instead, I have to find the nearest socket.<\/p>\n

    A special feature of this Ember Travel Mug 2+ is the "Find My" features partnered with Apple. But to be honest, I'm not sure why they put it as a selling point, do people misplace their coffee mugs all the time? Plus I don't own an iPhone, so this function becomes obsolete.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The Ember app on Android only allows me to personalise the travel mug, set the temperature on a dial and check battery life, which I can mostly do on the mug itself.<\/p>\n

    The temperature control on the mug, however, is amazing and as I compared it to the traditional vacuum flask, the Ember one can detect the temperature of the liquid inside and make sure it's never too hot to drink.<\/p>\n

    You can also preset the temperature according to the chart in the app. It suggests keeping the mug at 55C if you are having a latte, or 58.5C for black tea.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    A reminder also lights up when the battery is low or it's empty. When the battery runs out, it doesn't keep the drink warm because of the lack of double-walled insulation.<\/p>\n

    I love using the Ember Travel Mug 2+ and I treat it as a small luxury that I can enjoy every day. It comes at a high price point (\u00a3199.95) but this could be a lovely Christmas gift for your loved one.<\/p>\n

    There are, of course, other options in the market just like this Cosori Pressure-Activated Mug Warmer, \u00a352, but it's not portable.<\/p>\n

    B&Q is selling Ingenious Heated Travel Mug for \u00a325, which has a full stainless steel design and a button panel for settings.<\/p>\n
