Finally, on the bottom of this section is a button to update the firmware, if such an update is available.īack at the temperature screen, there’s a hamburger menu on the top left. Yes, you can customize the LED’s color (and brightness) so you don’t mix up your warm milk with your partner’s mug of nearly-scalding tea. Basically, there are three things you can do: change the temperature units, turn on notifications and customize the LED. If you press the gear on the top right, there are a handful of settings as well as a section displaying the Ember Mug 2’s battery level. Where it said “Empty” before, the app will now display the actual temperature of your drink.

On the bottom is a slider - use this to select your preferred temperature (up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit). Once you’re in the app, it will say “Empty” to indicate there’s nothing in your mug.

Then, hold the power button on the bottom of the mug until the LED flashes blue. To do so, tap “Pair new device” after opening the app for the first time.

Unfortunately, it can’t keep things cool, which would have been double the fun. And while it can heat up liquids from cooler temperatures, its main purpose is to maintain the heat of an already piping beverage. Likewise, it’ll go to sleep after a time if it’s empty. It will automatically detect when liquid’s inside and begin heating. It keeps your drink toasty by creating a convection current in whatever liquid you fill it with. It comes in three styles: 10 ounces in white, 10 ounces in black and 14 ounces in black. The Ember Mug 2 is a rechargeable stainless steel mug surrounded by a ceramic coating (tip: do not microwave it).
