Great mug to keep my coffee hot! Got the stainless one because the plastic looking ones just looked cheap and they were almost the same price. The battery lasts about two hours. Normally, it won't take me that long, but I happen to leave the house one time and came back with my coffee still warm. The app said the battery was depleted and gave me the temperature. It was only off by a few degrees, so I figure two hours was about it.
My cons with this: 1) the price. It's expensive for a mug.
2) At the time, this was the only size, 10oz. That's way too small. All my mugs are 12-16oz. This won't even hold a large brew on a Keurig. Huge negative. Now they have a 14oz one and, of course, you're going to pay for those few extra ounces.

I never realized how much the coffee drinking experience could have been improved with this cup. To pour a cup and get lost in work only to return and find the beverage the same perfect temperature (to the last sip) is heavenly. It literally puts a smile on my face every time.
A start reduced for a a few reasons:
- This color only comes in 10 ounces... I'd like to have it in a 12-ounce size.
- The Android connectivity (or lack there of leaves a bit to be desired. Luckily once you set desired temperature in the mug you don't have to futz with it anymore.
- The battery could be longer than 90 minutes. Sometimes I take a meeting away from the charger on my desk and the battery runs out... Then you really miss the experience

Multiple benefits and conveniences - pricy

The conveniences and benefits come at the cost of one convenience, and it's that washing and caring for this mug is more of a hassle than for a regular/dishwasher safe mug. - it is also quite expensive.
Though the cup can be safely submerged in water for the purposes of cleaning, water does seem to seep in between the rings and silicone base. Also, the stainless steel does stain very easily with turmeric-based teas and is very prone to scratching from cleaning pads, so be careful about that. I will give my personal wash/care routine at the end of this review for anyone interested.
The reason why I still give this cup 5 stars is that it has two major benefits. The first is the obvious one, it keeps beverages nice and warm. I love that I never have to make trips to the microwave. I generally keep the mug on the charging coaster as this is necessary to keep beverages heated for longer than 30 or so minutes.
However, the other major benefit, which I initially didn't anticipate, is that I never burn my tongue or expose myself to damagingly hot beverages when using this cup. It always let's me check and make sure that the tea I brewed in it has cooled to a safe and enjoyable temperature before I take that first sip. And then, it keeps it at that temperature!
I will say that this cup is less effective at heating drinks up. This is because, unfortunately, it seems like the sensor in the cup gets confused when the temperature of liquids in the cup is equal to the temperature of the room. It thinks the cup is "empty" and stops heating the liquid up. It would be great if Ember could develop a "Heat" setting/function on the app, to let the cup know that there IS liquid in the cup and for it to keep heating past that room temperature confuse point.
Now onto care/use guidelines:
I usually only use this mug for straight teas and avoid putting milk or other additives that might burn or stain the bottom of the cup. I wash by shooting water up into the cup while holding it upside down to avoid getting the base wet. Then I wipe down with a microfiber cloth.

As someone who takes their hot beverages seriously, I was intrigued by the concept of the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug. After using it for a few weeks, I am thoroughly impressed and excited to share my experience.
Sleek Design and Build Quality:
Firstly, the design of the Ember Mug is sleek and modern, fitting perfectly in any kitchen or office setting. The build quality is top-notch, with a durable ceramic coating that feels premium to the touch.
Revolutionary Temperature Control:
The standout feature, undoubtedly, is the temperature control. The ability to set my preferred drinking temperature through the Ember app is a game-changer. No more burnt tongue or lukewarm coffee halfway through my work. The mug keeps my drink consistently at the perfect temperature.
Battery Life and Charging Coaster:
The battery life is impressive. It lasts long enough for me to enjoy my drink without rushing. The charging coaster is a smart addition, ensuring the mug is always ready for use without any hassle.
Enhanced Drinking Experience:
The Ember Mug has transformed my morning coffee ritual. Each sip is perfect, from the first to the last. It's not just a mug; it's an experience enhancer for anyone who appreciates the finer details in life.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug is a must-have for anyone who values the perfect sip of their hot beverage. It's an investment in your daily comfort and enjoyment, and I can't recommend it enough.

Highly recommend for a unique and practical present.

Price is a little steep but if u get it on sale its a great buy. Keeps the drink warm but i mostly have to use it on the charger unless i give it a full charge the night before. It gets a little annoying when u get the coffee film on the drink while keeping it warm but finding the right temp setting could help this

The Ember Electric Mug is a remarkable innovation for those who take their hot beverages seriously. This smart mug allows you to set and maintain your preferred drinking temperature, ensuring that your coffee, tea, or other hot drink is perfect from the first sip to the last. The build quality is excellent, with a sleek, modern design that fits well in both home and office environments.
One of the standout features is the Ember's battery life, which is sufficient for a morning's worth of hot beverages. The charging coaster is a smart addition, keeping the mug powered throughout the day. The accompanying mobile app enhances the experience by allowing remote temperature control and customization.
However, the price point might be a bit steep for some, and the mug requires regular cleaning to maintain its functionality. Also, its reliance on technology means it might not be as straightforward to use for those who prefer a simpler mug. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Ember Electric Mug is a luxurious, high-tech solution for anyone looking to keep their drinks at the perfect temperature.

I received this cup for Mothers' Day. I must say it is one of the best gifts I've ever received. Usually I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day. This sleek cup is perfect, because it is easy to use. You power the cup on by pressing the bottom of the cup. It recharges fast. It fits perfect on my nespresso maker. The app is easy to download and use on the iphone. The app is self-explanatory and does not require much input. I set my cup temperature at 140. I only wish I had the larger ember cup. I washed this cup in dishwater and it worked perfectly the next day.

I was given one of these a gift, and like it.
My daughter expressed interest and since she has a birthday right after Xmas I thought I would get one for her.
I'm not one to gulp down my coffee so I like that it keeps it warm for about 1 hour, without needing to be on the charging pad.
Wish it were a little larger capacity. 10 oz seems skimpy.
Battery life could be a bit longer. I wish it lasted 2 hours (I solve this by using the charging pad as a coaster)
I've dropped this cup several times and it survives well.
I think this should be about 1/2 the price

Purchased as a Christmas present for the wife! She loves it and might get one for myself now. She says that her coffee now stays at the perfect hot tempo for her no matter how long she takes to drink it. Makes her coffee more enjoyable in the morning.

We already owned two Ember Smart mugs that have seen their batteries deplete over the years. Total Tech had a good deal on these mugs. I think these are a steal at $50, that deal ends soon.
The cup works well, keeps your drink hot, and the app is polished on both iOS and Android systems.

This mug is perfect for me.... HOWEVER, it may be too small for some people. I like to take my time drinking my coffee as I watch the news in the morning. My kitchen is close by, so if I really wanted a second cup, it would be a one minute job!!! The mug is a tad heavier than a regular one, but the handle is perfect for comfort and the lip is thin and makes your coffee taste delicious. What do I like BEST about this mug??? The LAST DROP OF COFFEE IS STILL HOT!!! Ummmmmm.

This was a good product. Performed as described. Keeps my wife's coffee hot. The only drawback is that since the coffee stays warm, we can use a larger cup and not have to refill as often. We will be looking for a larger-size ember cup.

Like most of us these days, I am working from home and using coffee cups instead of travel mugs. Naturally, I am a slow drinker, and I hated that my coffee would always get cold before I could finish it. Then I found the ember 10 oz mug. I'll admit, the price is high, BUT, for me, it has ended up being well worth the price. Ever since buying this mug, I have finished my coffee and teas without any waste.
For me, the less than desirable battery life doesn't bother me. Because I work from a desk, I am able to leave the cup on the charging pad which will keep my drinks the perfect temperature all day. If I don't have the mug on the charging pad, I am able to get over an hour of 140 degree coffee or tea.
I liked this product so much that I ended up buying one for my mother as a gift and will likely buy the travel mug in the near future.

I love the active heating feature, but expect it to last a year before the battery experiences issues. The Bluetooth connection also isn't entirely reliable, unfortunately.
