Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2, 10 Oz, App-Controlled Heated Coffee Mug with 80 Min Battery Life and Improved Design, Gold

*update* !! The mug still works awesome and I’m super happy with it…PLUS…I discovered that my yeti travel cover fits in it!!! This extends the 80 mins of heat to MOST OF THE DAY (at 120F) if you can get ahold of a travel lid then you’ll love it even more!!!I tried out Ember, Nextmug and a coffee cup warmer. I chose Ember and here's why:(For context I am a busy mom and I drink one cup of coffee per day. I tend to sip on that cup all morning long. I like to bring it around the house with me, often settling in one area for long periods (like to do a craft or do computer).I chose the Ember mug and here's why not the others:1) The warmer- I couldn't bring the mug around the house with me, it had to always stay on the warmer. Also, as I drank the coffee down, it got hotter and hotter (less to heat). I had to keep turning the warmer down. Twice I forgot I left the warmer on and left the house and it stayed on all day. The warmer was also very hard to clean if you got a ring on it because it gets baked on. Literally I could not get the ring stain off. Lastly, the coffee tastes super gross after a few hours. Not sure why...but the heat from the bottom does something to it.2) Nextmug - I didn't like the shape of the mug. It looks deep but actually half of the mug is the heating element so it's not deep. Mine kept shutting off randomly, like within 10 mins of setting it, maybe it was defective? It also seemed to get hotter as the liquid became less like the warmer did.3) Ember - immediately I could see the temp on the app as soon as the liquid hit the cup, which I thought was NEAT! It turns its self on automatically when the coffee is put in it and goes to the last setting you set it at. It keeps it at that exact temperature regardless of how much is left in the cup (yay!). Thus it never overheats the coffee and the coffee stays delicious. I can take it all around the house and it is sturdy, looks cool and is nice and deep. It does shut off a lot sooner (from inactivity) than others, BUT it heats back up again surprisingly quick, so I'll take it.Others have voiced connectivity issues. I have an iphone14 pro and it hasn't had any trouble yet, but I just got it.For the record I was hoping I could control it via the app even when I wasn't home (like turn it on and off remotely) but it doesn't work that way. Since it's bluetooth and not wifi controlled you have to be near it for it to work.Good luck friends!

I love my Ember Mug! I like to take my time with coffee while reading, and regular mugs just don’t stay hot long enough. This one keeps it nice and hot the whole time, which is exactly what I wanted.It looks sleek, feels soft to the touch, and honestly just feels a little fancy in the best way. I leave it on the charger when I’m not using it, so I never worry about the battery—it’s always ready to go.It’s definitely a bit pricey, but if you love your coffee hot and don’t rush through it, this mug is totally worth it.

My bf was incessantly complaining about cold coffee. Our poor microwave got a good workout on warm-ups and it was inconvenient when we were upstairs enjoying weekend whatever's and it was downstairs. THIS is a great solution for situations like the one I just described. I saw earlier models of this concept and the reviews weren't great, so I revisited it later knowing his birthday was coming up and knowing if I heard one more complaint about it I was going to lose my marbles. That is never good for our house when THAT happens. So, I took the plunge and it was a good call. I haven't heard a stinking squeak about cold coffee since, and it sure has been nice. Now, if we can work on the slurping when he drinks his coffee it would be perfection but we pick our battles, right? I'll take the quiet for now, Lol. Ladies, if you are a middle aged peri- menopausal woman like me who has little patience anymore for unnecessary difficulty and values low blood pressure and easy everything, this just might be your ticket to a peaceful, weekend heaven. Hot coffee and a happy boyfriend equal quiet weekend mornings for me so it was worth every penny and then some. Winning!Side note: I waited to write this review to make sure there were no product flaws. There are none to report. Seriously, not a single one, and this guy drinks multiple cups of coffee a day. We bought this unit in January. It's been working consistently great, zero issues. We highly recommend. You're welcome!!
