I didn’t need a smart mug, but now I can’t imagine life without one

Okay, maybe that headline is a bit much, but the Ember Mug 2 is truly one of my favorite gadgets that I’ve used recently — and this is coming from someone who is very tired of the let’s-make-everything-smart craze that swept the tech industry a few years ago. Not every device needs to feature Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, but it looks like I appreciate it when my coffee mug does.
