I bought an Ember mug because I thought it was silly. I ended up really liking the temperature control. I don't rush my coffee/tea. Now every sip is as hot as the first one.
The new Ember costs, I think, half again as much as the first iteration. It's a cute gimmick but I certainly wouldn't pay what they're charging now.
I must drink my morning tea out of a HotJo Travel Mug. This is non-negotiable. I had a beautiful black one which I dropped and smashed and now the only one available is white. Or I can get it with some crappy logo on it from eBay. So I drink out of a white one. It's less enjoyable somehow, but still more enjoyable than not drinking from a HotJo Travel Mug.
(Incidentally, if it looks familiar to you, it was used on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but that's not why it's my mug of choice.)
Wow, those mugs do look pretty nice.
My wife and I each thought these were cool but refused to buy these for ourselves. Instead, we got them for each other for Christmas/Channukah one year. It is the best "stupid" gift I have ever got. I have a little Aeropress set up in my office and it's great. Nothing like coming back to your desk to a hot cup of coffee after you have been away for an extended time. I think they were like $100 when we got them.
I wasn’t familiar with Ember mugs; but I have a USB coffee mug warmer at my desk which does the same thing provided you don’t need mobility, and was like $20 I think. I love that thing.
I got a heating plate for my home office, but none of the mugs I have really seem to work well with it. They all have this lip/concave bottom that means most of it doesn't make contact with the plate. At least I think that's the culprit. It does help a little but not a lot.
I hate cold tea at least if it was meant to be hot.
IMO tea can be hot or cold but never room temperature.
Well yes, I like ice tea, and I enjoy cold boba, but when my previously piping hot rooibos cools down to ambient temperature ten minutes after I sat down with it, I become a sad bean.
Somehow, reheated tea in a microwave is awful too. I'm not sure what that's about.
I have long considered something like this.
I like my mug a lot. It helps a lot with because I refuse to drink my coffee and tea that has gone cold.
