    Best gift for daily coffee drinkers

    I purchased the mug Feb 2022 for a Valentine’s Day present for my wife. She uses it every morning for her coffee and swears it has been the best thing ever! The only problem we have had with it is charging. You have to make sure it sits perfectly and wait for the flashing red to flash a couple of times. Besides that it still works just as well as the day we got it. If you take care of it and make sure it’s dry before setting on charger you will enjoy it!!!!

    This mug keeps my coffee at the perfect temp for a long time. But the most important thing is that it is not harsh with its heating element. The coffee does not develop a burnt taste that you might associate with a hot plate. The app is fairly simple. I did have some connection issues at first, but it seems that was user error.

    This was my second mug and I love having it keep my tea at my perfect temperature. I got the second one because I use it so constantly that it allows me to use one overnight while my other one is charging and ready for travel in the morning.

    A Love/Hate relationship with this mug!

    This is at once, one of the best and worst products I've ever had. The concept is 100%. I can't tell you how glorious it is to have the first sip of coffee be just as hot as the last sip. Brilliant! I love it so much. The mug itself is a solid 90%. It feels good in the hand. The handle is decent. The battery life is not bad, and is greatly improved by the accessory lid which is an additional fifteen bucks or so. However. The coaster is an absolute cluster of a design fail from start to finish. They break like crazy, and cannot be easily repaired. Without a coaster, you cannot charge the mug, making the entire thing useless. They do warranty it, but dime to a dollar, your coaster will break 2 weeks past the warranty period. So, in order to charge your very expensive coffee mug, you will need to lay out an extra forty bucks to buy another coaster every so often. So an expensive mug becomes a VERY expensive mug, because of this horrible design by Ember.

    My husband loves a hot cup of coffee, so this either required a thermos or multiple trips to the microwave. He loves his new Ember. Always just right.

    We owned the first Ember and upgraded to a bigger one (Ember 2). My wife uses this thing almost all day. Coffee that remains delicious all morning and evening Tea that remains hot. Defintely worth every penny if taste and quality of your drink are important to you. You don't have to rush to finish your drink in fear that it would go cold. A person who cannot control when their job or kids will need something should definitely consider getting one. Even after leaving for an hour or more, you come back to a delicious and hot drink.

    This cup is amazing. Its putside is cool to the touch, but when coffee is poured, remains at a hot temperature to your liking. Recommend the 14oz cup over the 10oz cup

    Perfect!!! I'm not quite sure WHY we didn't purchase it sooner but it's a gem. I enjoy taking my time and sipping my coffee without the worry of it getting cold. I only wish the charge lasted a little longer.

    Got it for my wife for Christmas. She absolutely loves it and uses it every day. The only major problem I see with it is that we are buying more coffee now because she's drinking more and in this economy it's rough. Taxation is theft and the government doesn't care about us. What's even more absurd than this inflation is how they want us all to be in electric vehicles by 2035?! Yeah okay pal that's gonna happen. But anyway great cup!

    Black Mug 14oz

    Great looking coffee mug however aside from looks, the functionality can be a bit better. Heads up for future purchases if for whatever reason you reset the mug by pressing the bottom button intentionally or unintentionally for more than 5 secs and see the colors flash.. that does mean it's reset the mug settings and you'll also need to manually reset your Bluetooth pairing from your mobile device (meaning forgot the device and then re-add as new device) in order for it be reconnected after reset and fluid detection to work. For the longest time I could not figure out how a filled coffee mug would read as empty. With that the battery life does struggle to lasr for my two hours of heated content sitting out on desk. So be prepared to have charger ready for charging if intended to keep intended temp for longer than that.

    I didn't know I needed this until I decided to get one. My sister and I share an office and have a coffee machine that we use to brew coffee, tea, cocoa, cider etc. I found the 10oz version of this at Best Buy on sale one day, and decided to get one for my office (It's irritating when my drinks get cold because I add cream/stir them/don't drink it all immediately). Was reluctant at first, and thought "Did I really just buy a smart drink mug?" Now I think to myself "Did I really just buy another two smart drink mugs on top of the one I originally bought?" Absolutely love this thing, and my sister loves hers for keeping her matcha hot. App is easy to use, setup is a breeze, and the quality feels sturdy/well-crafted.

    Not so good

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The mug itself does a good job at keeping the drinks warm, the enamel paint is peeling off after around 6 months. Not sure if its worthwhile investing in another mug to see if this happens or not.

    Purchased as a gift and my friend loved it! Especially the color and as an avid tea drinker, he can't get enough of it. I did purchase this on sale so not sure if the color of the mug matters.
