Ember has released the Mug 3, its latest temperature-controlled smart mug, which lets users cycle through five preset heat settings from 125 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit using a button on the mug's base rather than the companion app. The Ember app remains available for further customization and pairing.

Ember's third-generation smart mug holds 14 ounces, keeps drinks at a set temperature via an app, and charges on an included coaster that doubles as a charging pad rather than a true coaster. In testing, the mug's battery drained within two hours at its highest 145-degree setting when left on the slow-charging coaster, though it performed better on a full charge. The optional lid, despite marketing claims of three extra hours of battery life, simply traps heat rather than adding power.
