Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a very cool piece of technology. If you can wrap your head around a $130 coffee mug this does a great job keeping your coffee as warm or piping hot as you want it to be. I do notice that the battery life after being removed from the charge pad at a full charge does not last more than a couple of hours, so the best way to use this is to use it constantly with the pad to ensure it stays on. The mug does not insulate the coffee any more than a normal mug once the heating element is turned off. Overall, worth it if you can keep it on your desk and it will keep coffee hot all day. Otherwise, you may be better served with an insulated travel mug like a Yeti or some brand of that sort.

My first Ember served well for years and I hope this one will also I like my coffee hot to the last drop.

I got this mug for my wife for Christmas and she loves it! The app works well and it keeps her coffee nice and hot all day long. It's easy to clean and very solid. Great buy!

Sleek and beautiful! Works great to keep your beverage at the drinking temperature you prefer. Very easy to use.

A truly excellent temperature control smart mug, delighted to have purchased it, works great

Works excellent and great size for coffee to stay warm

Every sip is like the first, fresh, warm and freaking exhilarating. This cup is amazing. It truly provides "the perfect sip" every time. Only problem is the battery goes dead relatively quickly... approx 90-120 minutes. I'm a 2-3 cup guy. The first 1-2 cups go down in the first two hours I'm up. Then I kind of slowly drink the 2nd or 3rd cup until about 10:00 -11:00 am.

Really surprised at this Heated mug. My wife has been asking for one for a few gift occasions, and I always thought they were silly. Well I got her one for Christmas finally - and she loves it! She uses it all the time- it’s the only mug she uses at the house (still uses travel mugs). But these are so cool that I’m convinced and want one for myself. I’m going from thinking they were silly to asking for one for my birthday!!! Would expect others would be sold like me. A great gift idea as it may not be something someone would splurge on for themselves

Does exactly what its supposed to do. Keeps my coffee hot and is easy to clean/use. The only 2 compliants I have is that when the level of coffee in the cup gets low, it seems to overheat it which causes a bit of burnt taste and that the Ember app on Android will sometimes just not work correctly, requiring disconnect/reconnect or uninstall/reinstall. The app isn't needed all the often as you can just set your desired temperature and leave it.

The app is very easy to setup. Works well and keeps coffee warm. Only con is it isn't dishwasher safe.

Love this! The white color makes it look sleek and clean. Keeps my drink hot for hours!

I've had my Ember for about 2 months and use it everyday! As someone who always has to get up and leave their desks, it can take up to 2 hours for drink my coffee. I would normally come back to lukewarm coffee which no one likes. Now my coffee is always at the right temperature. The one drawback is that the battery only lasts about 80 minutes and at which point it stops heating. Not that big of a deal for me as I have the charger right on my desk, but if your charger is not near by that might be an issue.

Mother's Day replacement for white Ember that bit the dust after two years of HEAVY USE. Wife LOVES LOVES LOVES her Ember and wouldn't drink coffee any other way. Blue Ember on sale for a price I've never seen before. Easy pickup and perfect for wife for Mother's Day.

Love these mugs. I am spoiled by them now, it's so great having my tea at the perfect temperature all the time. Unfortunately, they are finicky and the charging coaster stops working after a while. Still worth it to me.

I wasn’t sure about this at first but now I see the light! I feel that I drank more coffee before owning this mug because I was going back for hot coffee- This is no longer a problem now because I can enjoy my coffee without worrying about it getting cold. Quality I’d good, time will tell if this purchase holds up over time. I would not recommend getting the smaller size mug as this one barely meets my needs as it is. The option to purchase an additional charging base would be great if it were at an affordable price point which leads me to my deduction of one star based on cost alone.

Docked a star for the price, but if you're willing to spend the money, this mug is amazing! Nothing like having hot coffee at your desired temp for hours if you choose (by using the charger as a base). Using silicone spoons to stir due to the endless number of peeling reviews out there, but no issues so far

Love the size, color and style. Keep liquids hot all day.

I love the Ember Smart mug. This is my second one, had to buy another one cause my first one stopped holding a charge and I had keep it on the charging base. That one was 5 years old so it was to be expected. I'm a sipper and I'll sip on one cup for at least two hours and to have the temperature constant is awesome!! And I can take it all over the house, it doesn't get any better. That is what Ember does. I highly recommend.

I was worried about the day I would eventually drop the mug and possibly watch it shatter. Well that day finally arrived, yesterday, dropping it directly onto my concrete driveway from about 3'. I saw it hit, expecting it to shatter, but it didn't! Still fully functioning with only a couple small scratches. I thought it was ceramic based but it appears to be metal, maybe aluminum, by looking at the scratches.

These mugs are decent. They keep your drink somewhat warm for up to ~an hour and a half, even if you have it set on the charging pad. The heating element is located at the base of the cup which creates more of a temperature gradient, which is pretty noticeable if you have a full cup of coffee. If you have a milky drink like a latte in it the milk usually burns a little at the bottom leaving a fatty residue, which isn't a big deal but it isn't ideal. Ultimately I find these mugs to be overpriced and not worth it when you can get a really good thermos for a fraction of the price and it will actually keep your drink warm longer given the limited battery life of the mug. It's unclear how long the batteries on these will last. It could be that over a year or Overall, these mugs aren't quite worth the price, though I really wanted them to be.
