Holiday Shopping For Coffee Drinkers On Your List: Ember Technologies Offers A New High Tech Mug For The Perfect Temperature


Holiday shopping for coffee drinkers on your gift list may be easier than you think. When your coffee-craving relative already has the ultimate coffee-making machine or French press and access to the most exquisite coffee beans to conjure his or her favorite brew, consider a high-tech mug that will hold the perfect temperature.

How many times have you or someone you know poured a cup of joe, only to become bogged down in tasks and forget about it until hours later? It was too hot for your liking before, and then it was too cold. How often does that rediscovered cup end up in a microwave in a desperate attempt to satiate your caffeine fix and your need for warming comfort? You may even fantasize that you owned the futuristic replicator as seen in Star Trek episodes as you impatiently wait for the microwave to beep. Although such science-fiction technology has yet to make its way into homes and offices, science has now enabled you to indulge in the perfect cup of coffee immediately.

Thanks to Ember Technologies, Inc., holiday shopping for coffee drinkers may put a permanent end to nuked java. According to a Gallup poll, more than 60 percent of American adults consume one or more cups of coffee on a daily basis, which means that there are sure to be coffee drinkers on your list.

Product designers of the Ammunition Group, who are the same creators behind the Beats headphones, have made it their mission to change the way in which you savor your coffee. Their new Ember mug, invented by Ember Technologies’ founder and coffee connoisseur Clay Alexander, is battery powered to set and hold its contents at the desired drinking temperature. By twisting the lower portion of the mug and watching the digital display that appears, you can dial the temperature up or down to make the coffee hotter or cooler. The mug’s internal battery will maintain the desired temperature for two hours. For those who sip at a more leisurely rate, the mug can be placed on a charging coaster to maintain the heat for the entire day while charging the battery.

Even if you are holiday shopping for coffee drinkers who happen to be tech challenged, the Ember mug will make the perfect gift. It has no buttons to figure out, and the instructions for its use are simple. Tech gurus, on the other hand, can have fun with the Ember app for customizing their mug’s settings on their Apple watch, iPhone, or Android device.

From its patented cooling system to its electronically controlled seven-sensor heating system, this mug is fully loaded behind its streamlined and elegant facade. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable to grip when on the go, and it fits into any car’s standard cup holder. The designers have more to come for commuters in the future. They are in the process of engineering a charging dock that can be used in a car as well. This is a gift to consider when holiday shopping for coffee drinkers as well as for those who love gadgets.

The Ember mug might be a perfect gift idea when it comes to holiday shopping for coffee drinkers in your life, but your health conscious friends or relatives who are restricting their coffee intake by embracing the benefits of green tea will reap the Ember mug’s benefits as well. The Ember mug will maintain any hot beverage, from cappuccino and cocoa to chamomile tea and chicken soup, at the perfect temperature to keep anyone warm this winter. For many, the Ember mug may join their wallets and smartphones as another essential that they cannot leave home without.

The Ember mug was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year in Las Vegas. After a bumpy road of delayed release dates, the mug is expected to ship out this month, just in time for your list of holiday shopping for coffee drinkers in your life.
