![]() ![]() Microwave glass mug of water 1.5mins to a temp 185° F degrees.160° F degrees out of water machine in a glass mug.Here’s a history of the temps using the Ember Mug and an IR thermometer which I pointed straight down into the center of the mug. Problem #1: The Mug’s true useable capacity is only about 8-ounces instead of 10-ounces and Problem #2: I made a mess pouring water from the glass mug into the Ember Mug. Once the water was boiling, I put the teabag in the Ember Mug and dumped the water from my 10-ounce mug into the Ember Mug. I filled my glass mug with water and put it in the microwave to boil the water. Since you can’t put the Ember Mug in the microwave to heat the water to boiling, which is what I have been doing several times a day with a traditional mug when I’m at work. ![]() I do have access to a hot water machine, but the water is only 160° F at its hottest, which isn’t the right temp for brewing the black tea that I prefer. The next day I took the Mug to work with me and that’s when more problems with this product started becoming apparent to me.įirst of all, at work, I don’t have access to boiling water like I do at home. I was surprised that the mug’s battery only lasted for 60 minutes because the tea in the mug was hotter than the set temp, meaning the mug was not having to use any juice to keep the tea at the right temp. The only troubling thing that I noticed was that the LED on the mug started glowing red after an hour to let me know that the battery was getting low. I didn’t have to get up and reheat the tea in the microwave which helped me improve my couch potato skills. Every time I wanted a sip, the tea was still hot which was great. I waited a few minutes, removed the tea bag and moved to the couch where I sipped the tea for 90 minutes or so. I boiled water on the stovetop like I always do and poured the water into the Mug over a tea bag. The first time I used the Ember Mug was at home before installing the app. The app has temperature presets that you can choose for different beverages, or you can choose any temperature from a minimum of 120° F to a maximum of 145 ☏.
