That may sound gimmicky but it is actually pretty useful: On the app, you can set your desired temperature (anywhere from 120 to 145 degrees in single-degree intervals, the most specific control of any mug) and view the current temperature of your drink. It’s the only warming mug I tested that uses an app, connected via Bluetooth. In all-white with a matching saucer charger (it’s also available in black and metallic copper), the Ember mug is the most sleek and streamlined of the bunch. Time in temperature range: 1 hour, 35 minutes By comparison, a regular mug only stayed in that exact range for around five minutes I’ve also noted how long each mug held a temperature from 125 to 135 degrees. All of the mugs but the Ember have a lid, so I tested them without the lids on to control for that. The product description explains it should stay at around 140 degrees “for hours.” To compare them all accurately, I set the Ember and Muggo to 130 degrees. The Burnout also doesn’t allow for temperature control, but that’s not a surprise, because it’s not electric. Two of the mugs I tested, Ember and Muggo, allow for precise temperature control, while the OHOM Kopi is designed to stay at 130-degrees. To add in a “control” factor, I also tested a regular ceramic mug as well as a stainless-steel Yeti tumbler. Then, after a few days of trying each, I moved to a slightly more scientific testing method, pouring boiling water into each mug and then checking the temperature with a meat thermometer at five-minute intervals for two hours.
At this point, I am ready to drink it, not wait even longer.Īt first, I used them casually for my daily tea, just to get a sense of how they worked and how well they maintained their temperatures. While I could go through the process of boiling more water, that would also involve waiting for it - and waiting for it to cool back down. By then, my once-steaming mug is usually closer to lukewarm. Although the first step in my work-from-home morning routine is pouring myself a cup of tea, I don’t often get around to drinking that tea until I’ve made breakfast, checked emails, responded to any urgent emails, and gotten distracted chatting with co-workers on Slack.
