The 'GREATIC Mug' is a smart temperature-regulating mug currently in its crowdfunding phase on Kickstarter. This is a two-in-one mug that is both smart, temperature-regulating, and controlled by a companion application. The device features a panel on its side that displays the current temperature and allows for simple customization, while more in-depth customization can be performed on the mobile application.
The temperature on the GREATIC can be regulated between 120 and Fahrenheit 145 Fahrenheit. GREATIC notes that its smart mug is easy to clean, as it features no hard-to-reach components, and is fully waterproof on the inside and outside. The GREATIC mug is available now via Kickstarter beginning at 745 HKD, or roughly $90 USD, for a single mug.
