Ember Temperature Control Mug: I finally met you, yet . . . you're amazing!

It was nice to meet my new Ember temp control mug

I knew I needed you:   a cup warmer with an App so I can control the temperature with my smartphone and receive updates on the charging station. It would be an amazing mug that would keep my tea hot even if I was temporarily distracted and called away by a new Amazon delivery or a buzzing dryer. But, like Michael Buble's wistful, yet hopeful, ballad, I just hadn't met you yet. . . .

Solid white light let's one know, perfect temp is achieved and time to enjoy!

That is until my birthday last week, when the "kids" (our millennial children and their partners), gifted me with a sleek, black temperature control mug from Ember. It allows users to not only select their optimum heat setting but also keep their hot beverage warm for up to an hour and a half.

I have to admit, I'm tech-challenged and, although Ember makes set-up pretty easy, it still took me some time to read through the instructions, get the app, and figure out all I needed to do. But, once the saucer-shaped charger was plugged in and my mug was placed on top, a blinking white light at its base signaled the cup was working. It was shortly followed by a solid white light, telling me my desired temp had been reached and my tea was ready to enjoy.

I did and for quite some time, too.

True to Ember's promise, each time I left my tea table to attend to other afternoon activities, my mug welcomed me back with a perfectly warmed drink.

I love, love, love it! 

With apologies to Buble,  I sing my Ember mug's praises:

"And, somehow, I knew that it would all turn out

You'd make me work, so we can work it out,

And, I promise you, mug, you'll give so much more than I get,

Now that I met you, I'm temp-set."
