Are you a demanding coffee drinker? You might be smitten by Ember Technologies' temperature-adjustable mug, now available for pre-order on Indiegogo. The Ember mug is packed with technical features designed to ensure that your coffee (or tea, or cocoa, or tomato bisque) stays at just the right temperature for hours:
- "Space-grade" thermal insulation
- Stainless-steel inner vessel
- "Phase change cooling system"
- Microprocessor-controlled heating system
- High-capacity battery
- Charging pad
You can control the temperature by twisting the base – or use the mobile app to remotely adjust the temperature, save presets for different drinks, name your mug and "select frequency and types of notifications." Not sure about that last bit. I get enough notifications as it is without adding the status of my beverage to the list.
All that technology doesn't come cheap. The 12-ounce mug is expected to retail for $149; you can order one now for $129. Estimated delivery: April 2016. In just two days, the Indiegogo campaign has raised $104,653, more than twice its goal.
