The temperature-controlled Ember Mug maintains a hot drink’s temperature for up to one hour when powered by its rechargeable internal battery. Set the cup on the included charging coaster to keep the contents hot all day.

Mom can configure the Ember Mug remotely with the companion mobile app. Using the app, she can select her precise preferred drinking temperature, ranging from 120-degrees to 145-degrees Fahrenheit. She can also track daily caffeine consumption, configure and save presets for various hot beverages, and change the colors of the mug’s LED. The LED changes color based on three conditions: When the drink reaches and holds her preferred temperature, if it gets too hot to drink, and when the mug needs charging (the last occurs when the mug runs on battery power and is not placed on the charging coaster.

The black and white Ember Mugs have color-matched charging coasters. The stainless steel mugs have a ceramic coating that helps keep the outside cool to touch. You shouldn’t wash the Ember Mug in a dishwasher, but handwashing is fine. The mug is IPX7 rated, so full underwater immersion causes no harm.

The temperature-controlled Ember Mug 2-pack usually sells for $200, but Best Buy reduced the price to $130 for today only. If you haven’t already bought the right gift for Mother’s Day, or even if you have but want a very cool add-on, make that more precisely a warm add-on, take advantage of this deal. Just remember you need to act by 11:59 p.m. CT today.

Why you should buy the Ember Mug 2
There used to be a time where drinking your morning coffee was something that happened entirely before work, perhaps in a rush but just as likely in a leisurely manner as you awoke and read the news. Then, coffee became something that was made to go, placed in quickly cooling disposable cups to be quaffed quickly in the spare moments of our commutes. Now, with remote work being so popular, we're seeing the rise of a new coffee meta altogether: The all-day morning coffee. The leisurely sips of the morning drag over into the seamless transition to the work-from-home workday. But as we get busy, our coffee stays out longer, and becomes cold.
