Keep Your Cuppa Warm with Ember

There's nothing quite like starting your morning with a steaming cup of chai, rich with spices and robust English breakfast tea. Picture this: you're on your backyard porch, savoring each sip, surrounded by birdsong. But then, reality hits, and you have to dive into your morning emails and messages. After 45 minutes of intense digital correspondence, you reach for your cup, only to find it cold and unpalatable. Ugh.

For years, my daily routine included reheating my forgotten cup of chai in the microwave—a hassle, to say the least. That was until I discovered the game-changing Ember mug, a sleek solution designed to keep your drink perfectly warm for hours.

Ember: The Mug That Redefines Warmth

Ember isn’t just any mug; it’s the epitome of smart drinkware. With a built-in heating element, it keeps your beverage warm for up to 4-5 hours. This means my chai stays hot and enjoyable until lunchtime, transforming my mornings.

The Ember mug stands out with its superior build quality. Made from a special ceramic material with an aquaphobic coating, it’s incredibly easy to clean—just a quick rinse, and it’s spotless. No residue, no fuss. Plus, it comes with a sleek charging base, ensuring your mug is always ready for action.

Smart Temperature Control

One of Ember's coolest features is its temperature control via a mobile app. Pair the app to your mug using Bluetooth, and you can monitor and adjust your drink’s temperature to your preference. It’s an effortless way to ensure your drink is always at the perfect warmth.

Worth the Investment?

You might wonder if all this technology is necessary for a mug. Isn’t it easier to just reheat your drink in the microwave? Sure, that's practical. But once you experience the consistent warmth Ember offers, you’ll see the difference. It’s a significant quality-of-life improvement, turning each sip into a small pleasure. After a few days, using any other mug feels like a step backward.

More Than Just a Mug

Ember’s lineup includes a smaller cup, a tall tumbler, and a travel mug. I personally use the 10 oz regular mug and the 12 oz travel mug. Both have revolutionized my hot drink routine. The regular mug, after five years of daily use, still looks brand new. The travel mug, a Christmas gift from last year, keeps my green tea perfectly warm throughout the day. These mugs are built to last and truly enhance your drinking experience.

American Food Story... →

This is a spectacular review of an even spectacular food show. Padma Lakshmi continues in the big shoes of Anthony Bourdain and surfaces hard truths that lie behind the international cuisine being adopted in mainstream America often at the cost of the immigrants that brought it in.

But the episode has already exposed the conflict at the heart of American cooking, the inequity of a culture that gets to selectively take and absorb whatever it wants without having to offer anything significant in return.

How yogurt reflects food trends in America... →

When you think of yogurt, depending on where you grew up, it conjures up diverse images, tastes, and smells. For me, growing up in India, yogurt, or as we called it ‘dahi’ (दही) or ‘curd’ - was set to be made everyday in a brown ceramic bowl. My dad filled it with fresh milk and added a spoonful of the previous lot of curd, mixed it well, and left it in a warm place in the kitchen to set.

We then used curds/dahi in many different dishes - chutneys, relishes, curries/kadhi, and of course, dahi-wada. A delicious snack of fried lentil balls in curd sauce. But the most important use was for wishing us good-luck before our exams. My mom would ladle out a spoonful of dahi on my palm and sprinkle a bit of sugar. I slurped that off my palm and went off to school to battle the day’s exams, reassured of my anxieties that this sweet little delight would be an auspicious shield to ward off failure.

But coming to America, you realize that yogurt here is just meant to be eaten by itself, often sweet and sprinkled with granola and fruit.

The astonishing varieties of yogurt now available in any grocery store in America, reflects the current and future food trends as this article informs in detail..
