Customers are positive about the 10 oz. Temperature Controlled Ceramic Mug's ability to maintain temperature and its ease of use, with many praising the convenient app. However, customers are negative about the battery life and the mug's size, finding it too small for their needs. Some also expressed concerns about the price point and occasional app connectivity issues. The mug's design received generally favorable comments.
I have been using these mugs for a couple of weeks now (I ordered the two pack). While they are good looking and keep your drinks warm, the design leaves you dissatisfied with a couple of things. Following are a few pros and considerations if you are looking to get them: Pros: 1. It's neatly designed. The colors are as in the pictures. The light at the bottom can be customized and looks pretty cool 2. It does the job of keeping the drink warm. The max temperature that you can keep it warm is 145 degree Fahrenheit, which is good enough for most hot drinks 3. The app is neat and intuitive. You can easily customize the temperature. There are a couple of presets for tea but I haven't used them. The app also allows you to sync the caffeine intake with your health app and monitor your caffeine usage Cons: 1. The cup can be charged, only when the base is completely dry. In this world of wireless charging and waterproof devices, forcing you to dry a device (which is supposed to hold hot liquids) before charging, looks like the product managers didn't do a good enough job 2. The charge is only good enough for 1 drink. So after every drink you need to charge the cups, which is sort of annoying 3. The volume of the cup is small compared to the size. It does hold the 10 ounces that it claims, but the size is much bigger. Roughly the base of the mug is at the bottom of the lower handle

I like hot drinks like coffee and tea. I find myself wasting my caffeine enriched liquid because I get lost in my computer screen and then the drink is ruined. I have recently seen more studies discussing how coffee is good for you but for me, it can’t get cold. I am just not a fan of iced coffee or room temperature coffee. I recently got my hands on the Ember Coffee Mug, a temperature controlled mug and my hope with it is that I can enjoy hot drinks longer at a temperature I set. So does Ember hold true to its claims? First, let me discuss what Ember is and how it works. The Ember Ceramic Mug is packaged inside a box that is very similar to what Apple uses for its products. There are a few graphics on it along with some text. When opening it up, you will find a few paper information cards, the mug. It’s charging plate. and charging power cable. My first experience was not so hot no pun intended. I pulled it out and started the charging process I set up my account with Ember and noticed a firmware update was available. I wasn’t able to update the firmware because my Ember Mug kept disconnecting. I thought I had a defective mug but after I powered it off and back on a few times I was able to get the firmware to update. After that point, the Ember mug has been a joy to use. I do still, however, have random disconnects so that is something to note. I’ve used it with my evening cup of coffee or tea and my drink has held its temperature. I tested this out with the use of an infrared thermometer. The first drink I had was coffee. It was 130º when I started drinking it and when I was about 3/4 of the way done, the coffee was still registering 121º. The hot tea was a different story. It started out at 155º and ended up at 134º after about 45 minutes. It makes me wonder how correct the Ember is at showing the temp. Even with my issues getting the firmware to update I had pretty good luck with the mug once that finally installed. I did still have a few instances of the Bluetooth connection getting interrupted, but that didn’t seem to affect the beverage’s temperature. I honestly don’t know what I’ve done without the Ember Ceramic Mug until now. With the Ember I can now take my time sipping my drink and am not limited to how fast my mug cools off. It’s made hot beverages enjoyable again for me and I’m looking forward to trying more of Ember’s products and might even get a second Ceramic Mug.

Keeps it good and hot. Would like it to be a bit larger.
