Temperature Control Drinkware
Ember’s first product, the Travel Mug launched with Starbucks in 2016, selling out in the US within days. The Ceramic Mug launched in 2017 and more recently Ember released the Tumbler which is their largest mug yet. These products established a new category of temperature control drinkware. A combination of world-class design, development and engineering, the design intent was to lightly augment and serve users. They do not distract or control lives, rather they enhance needs in very human and thoughtful ways.
