    One issue is that it starts hot and very slowly loses heat.

    A smart mug can be set to your desired temperature, get there immediately, and stay there.

    That being said, as a former Ember mug user, there is no need for that thing to only be controllable through an app. A dial on the side would be fine.

      If you close it, the rate of heat loss in even a cheap vacuum flask is minimal, as in “scalding hot coffee poured in the morning is too hot to drink 8 hour later” minimal.

        It’s actually pretty ridiculous because sometimes the coffee I made before 8 am is too hot to drink even by lunch.

        That’s the exact problem a heated mug solves. It cools quickly then stays at your ideal temperature.

        That’s the point I was trying to make.
