Unboxing the Ember Mug was like unpackaging an iPod. The box was super sleek, and perfectly nestled everything from the mug itself to the charging coaster. (The Sandstone colorway is extremely chic, and feels very Japandi, IMO.) It even came with a set of stickers, which for those who’ve ever unboxed any Apple products, felt very Apple. The instructions told me to start by charging up the mug and the charging coaster to full battery. While I let that do its thing, I downloaded the Ember app on my phone — this is how you can control the temperature of your beverage down to the exact degree. (You can also customize the color of your LED light on the mug, which is a fun, albeit not very useful feature.)
