Of course, Jeff Bezos couldn't sip his morning coffee from a ceramic mug, his choice of vessel is smart, battery-powered powered and app-controlled.
Ember, the smart tech brand behind the world's first temperature control mug (which happens to be Jeff's go-to), is having a Cyber Monday sale which extends beyond the date itself. The mug in question is among their top deals.
Naturally, billionaire Jeff could have his pick of any mug to accompany his caffeine fix, so why does the Ember vessel come out on top? This award-winning range of sleek and portable cups uses patented technology to set the perfect temperature for hot drinks for up to three hours. This means we can enjoy a shower, a long commute, and scout our morning papers (and then some) with a perfect-temperature coffee.

Ember's updated smart coffee mug has an extended battery life that keeps our drink at our preferred temperature (between 120°F - 145°F) for up to 80 minutes (or all day on its charging coaster).
Just how is the Ember mug used in the Bezos household? 'Whoever gets up first, that person makes the other person coffee,' Jeff's fiancée Lauren Sánchez shared with Vogue. She explains that she takes Jeff takes his coffee with Laird Hamilton's superfood nondairy creamer in the all-important Ember mug. Former news anchor Lauren Sánchez also uses a mug Jeff purchased for her via Amazon, naturally.
After their coffee, the couple try to avoid getting straight on their phones and instead turn to journaling. 'We're not quite there,' Lauren adds. 'We'll do it, like, three days a week.'
We can't exactly replicate the rest of Jeff Bezos's day, but this part of his coffee making routine is now more accessible than ever. To get involved for even less, we've found a slightly smaller alternative to the 14 Oz that's also enjoying a reduction this Black Friday.

This mug enjoys all the same benefits as its larger counterpart, only in a more compact style. Just like the mug above, we can control this mug with (and without) an app, and it remembers our last-used temperature for ease every morning.

Like you coffee on the go? Ember make a travel mug too that's also battery-powered to keep your drink at the perfect temperature for up to 3 hours. It comes with the charging coaster, so you can recharge when you get to the office and just use as a heated mug for your refills.

There's a metallics range too, same technology, just in more luxurious packaging. There's copper, rose gold, gold and stainless steel all of which are in the Amazon Black Friday sale. There's also a bold red option too which feels suitably festive.
If you are investing in the best coffee maker, your brew deserves the best mug to drink it from, and going for a heated option will ensure it tastes better for longer. Not to mention, the Ember mug is potentially the chicest, most subtle heated mug we've come across - aesthetically pleasing and practical. Would make for a great gift too.
