There's no burnt flavor. The element heats very evenly, so there isn't that burnt flavor that happens like you'd get when you leave a pit of coffee on a heating element. The biggest thing I notice is A) If you leave it in there a long time and use half and half, the heat will separate the fats in the half and half and they float to the top and make a film. I now use fat-free half and half and don't have the same issue, but I notice after an hour or so the taste does change a little, almost like it's the cream that's getting old from the extended heat. But if you drink faster than an hour, it doesn't create an issue. B) If you do use cream and leave a very small residual amount in the mug, it will continue to heat and form a sludge. Though it's easy to clean with some soap and water. I still highly recommend the mug. I like not having a cold cup of coffee sit there and go to waste as I'm working.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I keep mine at 145 degrees (highest temp available) and have no issue with it tasting burnt.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My experience is that I have not had the scorched taste at all when left for a while.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there, thanks for reaching out! The Ember is designed to maintain your exact preferred temperature within a period of time and we haven't seen a burnt flavor occur with proper use. The 14oz Ember also has an expected battery life of up to 80 minutes as well, but this can vary depending on a few different factors (like pour temp and set temp).
