Temperature Control Smart Mug 2, 14 Oz, App-Controlled Heated Coffee Mug with 80 Min Battery Life and Improved Design, GrayModel

*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!

Coffee drinkers have something in common. Coffee is perfect as soon as brewing has been completed, and it goes downhill from there. It quickly cools or, if kept on the burner or hot plate, it gets bitter pretty fast. Now imagine a "smart mug" that keeps the same temperature all the time and, as having been brewed through a K-cup pod, it hasn't any grounds at the bottom, maintaining its fresh and just having been brewed flavor and temperature perhaps all day. That defines the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2. I didn't believe it could behave as advertised and you would be right not to believe it either. It has an internal battery that communicates with a nicely fit coaster. The mug on its own knows when there is coffee inside and proceeds to maintain the temperature you have programmed. The battery in the mug is good for more than an hour, if you're on the move, and for as long as needed if the mug is set on its coaster. It's all electronic and so the unit doesn't get hot. And the mug itself is very sturdy. I have lost a few mugs when drying them after washing and having the handle break off in my hands. Not with this one. It appears to actually be a perfectly molded metal cup with a ceramic baked exterior. So, the handle can't break off. I am careful when washing the mug to try to keep the bottom side dry, but the company says the mug can be fully submerged in water. This mug is like alien technology! Okay, it's pricey when compared to a mug you'd buy at your favorite discount store, but take the total cost and divide it by the endless number of perfect cups of coffee and you will see that it's actually a bargain. I don't know how I ever did without it.

I’ve had this 14oz mug for about a month. Several family members have the Ember mug and all have positive things to say. They are each avid coffee/tea drinkers and have owned their Ember mugs for over a year. Having hot liquid stay hot is a game changer for me. Setup is super simple through the app. My only complaint would be that I would like the mug to go to 160 degrees - I like my food and drinks really hot. I had gotten the Ember mug while visiting relatives out of state. When I returned home after the holidays, I wanted a second mug for my wife. The deal that I got on the Ember at Xmas was no longer available, so I ordered a competitors mug (NextMug). I wondered about 2 things that were different about the NextMug vs. the Ember. The NextMug doesn’t need an app to set up and it is advertised as keeping liquid at 155 degrees, which appealed to me. I received the NextMug and used it a few days. The fact that it has buttons on the side of the mug v. using no app did not enhance my experience. The advertised increased temperature of the NextMug did not materialize. In fact, the NextMug failed to hold a warm temperature consistently. After several days, I returned the NextMug and ordered another Ember mug to replace it. The new Ember mug has worked just like the 1st one and now wife and I each have our own. I also ordered a second charging tray for the Ember mug so that it charges at my preferred coffee chair in our home. Overall, very happy with the Ember experience.

Really liked the idea of hot coffee, but it's a crap shot with this cup. Used it a couple of times a week for the last couple of months. Well sometimes it worked and the coffee was warm, sometimes it didn't do anything... coffee just went cold.. Rest of the time it sat on a charger. This morning was the last straw, it's in the recycle bin and I won't buy another or recommend Ember.

It is true that the connectivity isn't great, but once you have it set the way you like it, there is little need to interact with it. I like that I can take the cup anywhere I am, and my coffee will stay warm. I don't need coffee warmers strategically placed in my favorite spots. My only real complaint is that the small base of the cup makes it easy to tip. I have recently done so twice in the same week. It's already a rather pricey comfort, but I recommend adding a lid. I soon will be.

Works great so far. Like the ceramic.

My first one was a gift and lasted for a couple years. I bought an offbrand which was cheaper after that, but it wasn’t worth it. This one you can select the temperature on an app on your phone, it shuts off by itself. You don’t have to remember to turn it off. It knows when it’s empty. I ended up buying another one because they’re the best in my opinion.

I love the ember mug. It worked perfectly for 11 months then just quit. Hi followed the manufacturer instructions to restart the mug to no avail. After just a day and a half of communicating with the company they have agreed to send me a new mug. They provided great customer service. I couldn’t be more happy.

Got this for my wife who likes sipping on warm beverages for extended hours, often throughout the day. Up until now she’d keep making or reheating cups of green tea, coffee etc over & over or worse yet, get me to do it! ;) But this changed all of that. Couldn’t be happier. Does everything it claims. The wife loves it. She said it’s changed her life. Might pick up another one just to be safe :)

Not really much to say here, yes these mugs are expensive, all I would say is keep watching the price, normal retail is £149, I have seen the 14oz grey version drop to as little as £99, kicking myself for not buying then, I took the plunge when saw back on offer at £119, the mug itself works flawlessly, I never turn it off manually and goes to sleep as soon as it’s empty and wakes up once a drink is poured into it. The app which I am using on iOS could be much better, it very rarely automatically connects to the mug, however this is not a issue as once you’ve set your desired temperature the mug will remember those settings and the white led will remain solid once that temperature has been reached. I find the mug very easy to wash, I am mainly using with Tassimo coffee so even after being left a couple of hours and there’s a ring round the top of the mug it cleans off very easily. I read previous reviews of folks complaining that the mug marks easily from spoons, so with that in mind I am using wooden tea spoons and can confirm no marks as yet.

Fonctionne très bien. J’aime beaucoup mon café chaud. Très heureuse de mon achat.

I like to drink a long cup of coffee over 20 minutes or so, sipping every once in a while and that was always a rapidly declining enjoyment with normal coffee mugs. The colder the coffee got, the more I would wince when I drank it. Off to the microwave! Not idea. I got the Ember more as a tech gadget than anything because I was skeptical. However, this thing really works for what I need! I never really need it for more than 30 minutes so for me the battery life is absolutely fine. In those 30 minutes the coffee stays at the exact precise temperature I set and it's an enjoyable sip... almost until the last drop. I say that because as the coffee level gets low, the heat still stays at the same temperature which means your last few sips could taste burnt. I learned to turn it off when the level gets to a certain point and I'm able to finish the coffee still hot, but not at my "maximum enjoyable level". Still... I ended up buying a smaller one for home after using this one for work. Expensive and not really needed, but it's something that has brought enjoyment every single time I've used it. If that's what you're looking for, I recommend it!
