The function of a tumbler is to warm the coffee that you
bring to the workplace. Unfortunately you have no control over the coffee temperature;
as a result, when you are arriving at the office, you'll be sipping very hot
coffee, or the contrary, you will drink cold coffee.
Now there is a more practical solution for you, a tumbler
that can regulate the temperature of the liquid inside, and maintain the heat
level for some time. Ember Mug is a tumbler that's designed by an expert of
thermal science, who happens to be a fan of coffee.
At a glance Ember Mug looks like other regular tumblers. The
inner part that's made of stainless steel can accommodate up to 350 ml of
water. The water temperature will be maintained for 4 hours, but what's
interesting is you are the one who determines how hot the temperature of the
water.
The bottom of the Ember Mug can be rotated to set the
desired temperature, which will be shown by a series of LED lights on it. After
you pour boiling coffee into Ember Mug, you just need to set the temperature
between 49-74 degrees Celsius, and then Ember Mug will cool it six times faster
than regular tumbler until the desired point.
This cooling mechanism is very unique because it will
actually work as a warmer when the Ember Mug battery runs out after about 2
hours. It will restore the heat absorbed when coffee is cooled, so that
eventually you can keep coffee warm for 2 hours extra.
Ember Mug is accompanied by a coaster that acts as a
charger. So if this coaster is on your desk, you can keep your coffee warm as
long as the electricity is still on. Ember Mug is also equipped with a mobile
application that works via Bluetooth, so you can adjust the temperature without
having to remove it from the charger and rotate the bottom.
The design process of Ember Mug is entrusted to Ammunition
Group, a design firm that's also responsible for advanced products such as
Beats headphones or Polaroid Cube action camera. Even the lid is packing the
smart 360 degree cover mechanism.
Ember Mug is currently still in the stage of raising funds
in Indiegogo. During the campaign period, the Ember Mug is offered at a price
of $ 129.
