    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.

      very slowly

      Do you need it to be scalding hot the next day or something? My thermos keeps things insanely hot for like 12 hours. 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.

      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.
