Ember products aren’t exactly a necessity, but if you don’t mind the splurge, they’re super convenient—especially for heavy coffee or tea drinkers who work from home. The mug connects with your phone via Bluetooth, allowing you to dial in your desired temperature via the Ember app. While the Mug 2 only maintains that temperature for up to 90 minutes on battery power (depending on size), it will keep things warm indefinitely while docked to the included charging stand. That’s especially nice if you’re the type (like me) who often pours a hot cup of coffee and forgets to touch it until it’s nice and warm.
