CES is full of odd and weird things, and Ember is somewhat one of those things. Ember is a product that has been available and on sale for quite some time. But this year, Ember is back at CES with a new mug, the Travel Mug 2+. And the big new feature on this product is that it supports Apple’s Find My app. So, you’ll be able to go into the Find My app, find your AirPods, your Mac, and now…. your coffee mug.
Yes, it sounds pretty crazy, but it is also pretty cool. Can’t remember if you left your mug at work or not? Simply open the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and find it for yourself.
Now, Find My can’t be added to previous Ember mugs, so this is more than just a software upgrade. As the mug also has a speaker inside to chime when you are looking for it. Making it much easier to actually find the mug.
The Travel Mug 2+ does everything else you’d expect from an Ember product. That includes having an app that allows you to keep the temperature of your drink between 120 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit. There’s also a touch control on the mug that allows for this as well. Ember is able to keep your drink hot for up to three hours, or all day if you keep it on the included charging coaster.
How much does it cost?
Ember’s mugs are not cheap, and this one isn’t either. It’s going to go on sale for $199.95. And it’ll be available starting in the second quarter of 2023.
It is an example of over-engineering? Yes, of course it is. That doesn’t make this any less cool though. This new Travel Mug 2+ will also eventually replace the Travel Mug 2 which is currently available. It also holds about 12 ounces of liquid.
