The mug can also bring room temperature coffee up to drinkable warmth in 30 minutes. That's shorter than the claimed battery life of 3 hours. Anecdotally, the Ember actively held coffee at my chosen temperature (132 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 2 hours before needing a charge. My experience so far has been positive, but not outrageously so. I've been using Ember's second-gen Travel Mug for just a few days. Together, you can monitor and control the mugs' contents via a wireless connection.

What the Ember Mug looks like in a copper finish.Īll the second-gen mugs, like current Ember devices, link to phones via Bluetooth and the Ember app. Ember says it's 15 percent lighter too, and it sports a smaller charging coaster.
According to Ember, that comes to 3 hours, compared with just 2 hours that the first-generation model supposedly supplied. It's rated to offer 50 percent more run-time than its predecessor. At the top of the line is the $179 second-gen Ember Travel Mug. Still curious about the new Ember lineup? Here's a quick rundown. There's not enough new here to justify their higher prices. Yes, it's true that coffee geeks like myself find Ember mugs hard to resist, but I would steer clear of these new models. Despite the up-charge, they don't provide drastically better performance or features. And the latest models now cost even more. Ember's previous smart mugs were far from inexpensive (ranging between $79 and $149). Ember's new line, which includes a $179 Travel Mug and a $129 regular old Mug, boasts some welcome improvements, including better battery life, slimmed-down footprints, and larger sizes to accommodate more of your hot coffee and tea.Įven with those enhancements, it's tough to make the case for these things. The outfit has just revamped its existing lineup of mugs for 2019. It can keep the coffee hot and relatively fresh for a few more hours longer since it doesn’t allow the air to contact the coffee and slow down the oxidization.Ember, the company that gave us the temperature self-regulating smart mug, is at it again. If you are in a situation that you have to make more coffee than you can consume at once, consider a high-quality thermos mug. The coffee’s distinctive flavors are made up of highly volatile aromatic compounds that oxidize easily when they come in contact with oxygen. Oxidization is the main reason coffee tastes stale.
Why does coffee taste stale after sitting out for a while? If you leave it out too long, the milk will curdle and turn sour, you’d better dump the coffee in the sink instead of letting them into your body. Milk is perishable and can go bad quickly. However, hot coffee with milk added is only safe to drink for about an hour or two at room temperature. If you let the untouched plain black coffee sit out for 24 hours after brewing at room temperature, it is still safe to drink, though it doesn’t taste as good as it was. Generally speaking, plain black coffee can stay fresh longer. If you are leaving the coffee to sit out for more than a few hours, apart from losing its pleasant fragrance and tasting rancid, it will also develop an unpleasant bitterness or sour taste. How long is coffee good for? In short, brewed coffee can only last up to 30 minutes before the flavor begins to degrade. Now I know why a fresh cup of coffee tastes so much better than one I "get back to" later. I didn't know that coffee only lasts for 30 minutes before it starts to go stale unless it's in a sealed container like a thermos/travel mug with a (sealable) lid.
