Ember is well known for thinking outside the box, and they’ve shown it once again with their new 6oz Ember Cup, a drinking vessel that is the ideal size for a delicious Cappuccino or, if you are so inclined, an extra large Espresso. It also has an extraordinary feature that separates it from all the common or garden varieties of cups available in the market.

I am sure that our regular readers will have seen our review of the KitchenAid Artisan Semi-automatic Espresso machine, which I dubbed rather brilliant. This splendid machine has introduced me to the world of ‘proper’ coffee, and since then, my tastebuds now only expect the very best. So you can imagine my excitement when news reached my desk that Ember, a company that I have high regard for, had launched a new product called the 6oz Ember Cup and best of all, it’s the perfect sized vessel to house my coffee-based creations!

Although many will be familiar with what separates Ember’s products from others, there will be some that might not be. Ember is at the forefront of technology when it comes to keeping drinks hot, and this is thanks to the unique battery technology built into their products.

Take, for example, their new 6oz Ember Cup. It can maintain its contents at a precise temperature for up to one and a half hours using a battery built into the cup. However, if you’re somewhat of a slower drinker, it will keep the drink at the perfect temperature all day, thanks to the charging coaster included in the set.

Its size (6oz) makes it ideal for espresso-based drinks such as flat whites, cortados and cappuccinos. Another brilliant feature of the 6oz Ember Cup is it is a ‘Smart Mug’, meaning you can pair it with the Ember App and set your preferred drinking temperature, allowing you to enjoy your favourite drink just the way you want it from the first sip to the last drop.
