The new 6-ounce Ember Cup is designed for espresso-based drinks such as cappuccinos, cortados, and flat whites. It is the cheapest option in the Ember lineup, but it is also small.
When placed on the included charging coaster, the Ember Cup will keep your coffee or other hot beverage at your desired drinking temperature for up to 90 minutes, or for as long as necessary. The cup can be controlled with the Ember app, which can be used to set your preferred temperature between 120 and 145 degrees F.
The Ember Cup keeps beverages at 135 degrees when used without a phone. When the beverage has reached the desired temperature, a smartLED on the bottom of the cup tells the cup to maintain it.
The original Ember Mug used to start at $79.95 when we reviewed it several years ago, but the most affordable model today is the Ember Cup. The 10-ounce option now costs $129.95 and the 14-ounce option costs $149.95. There is also a mug for travel.
The black and copper models of the cup can be ordered through the website. Apple sells Ember Mugs through its online store, but it does not yet carry the Ember Cup.
