Can I still use this? Looks like there was some arcing. I don't want a fire but this was expensive, damnit! (lemmy.world)

They're largely pointless with the prevalence of vacuum insulated mugs. Not really sure why anybody would want to add batteries and chargers to a hot drink scenario, but I also generally finish my coffee before it's cold from a regular ceramic mug.

    I take a long time to drink my coffee, don't want a warmer at my desk, and hate the metal and bulk of the double walled mugs I have. The ember has been a really nice luxury. When I'm done, I take it back to the kitchen, quick hand wash and dry, back on the charger plate for the next time. I don't expect everyone to get it, but I really enjoy mine.

    Same. I also don't want a coffee mug warmer app on my phone but we aren't the target demographic for this product I guesd

    My wife, who has ADHD but is otherwise absolutely not the target demographic of Lemmy, has three and appears to appreciate them.

    My mind immediately went to ADHD as well. I can really see the utility for it in that case. I also deal with that, and I've lost so many mugs of half-finished coffee. It's even worse because I'll have coffee first thing in the morning, before the meds kick in. And the caffeine itself also helps with ADHD symptoms. So I'm having my morning coffee at maximum levels of squirrel brain.
