Similar to the Ember mug, but designed for both hot and cold beverages, the all-new Yecup 365 from Armenian company Yecup Technologies is claimed to bring your drink to just the right temperature and keep it there for hours. It heats your coffee or tea from lukewarm to piping hot and cools your water or Gatorade from room temperature to comfortably chilled. Beyond beverage service, it can also charge your smartphone or tablet. If the Yecup 365 makes it through to production, it will set new IQ standards for the “smart” travel mug.
Yecup’s active heating and cooling gives it a leg up on mugs designed only for hot beverages. The company says that the mug can heat beverages up to 158° F (70° C) and cool them to 50° F (10° C). That upper figure falls well short of water’s 212° F (100° C) boiling point, an important distinction only because Yecup uses “boiling” terminology in some of its press materials. You wouldn’t want to drink boiling coffee or tea, anyway, and Yecup offers a pretty versatile temperature range for your drinking enjoyment.
