Ember Travel Mug 2+, 12 oz, Temperature Control Smart Travel Mug, Stainless Steel, Slate Black (with Apple Find My)

Great for the office!
Great quality! Keeps coffee at a great temperature! Easy to clean! Easy to function.

A luxury that quickly becomes a necessity.
Best product I have bought in a long time! I thought this was a cute idea but it’s almost a necessity once you get used to it. It keeps my coffee the perfect temperature to the last drop! The temperature is adjustable and the readout on the front can have your name show up (you put it in from your app) – also helps with knowing whose cup is whose. I originally bought for my RV but now use it in both my house and for travel. Seems to charge quickly if I have forgotten to place it back on the charger. I am extremely careful to not have the bottom of the cup be wet before setting onto the charger (per manufacturer advice if you want it to last) so be careful of that. I don’t find it difficult to wash as I only drink black coffee and tea in it. It has reduced the mugs that we used to use during the day to zero because we each use and then wash our own. What I thought was a definite luxury item has quickly become my necessity. Great product. I hope it lasts a long time.

LOVE the Temp Readout and Touch Controls
The best features of this Ember Travel Mug 2+ are the temperature readout and touch controls. This makes using the mug simple without the need to rely on the App to control it. I use this everyday in my office and have encountered no issues with it other than knowing you have to keep the charging base dry. If you don’t, you’ll ruin the charging pins as I mistakingly did with a previous charging base which melted the plastic and smelled like the office was burning down. This is the only negative design issue I have with ALL Ember products that I cannot believe they have not reengineered already.

Dont buy this – serious design flaws
This design is a huge downgrade from the original Ember Tumbler. I only bought it because it can charge in the car—not because I liked how it looked—and I regret it. Save your $200 and buy the older version or switch to another brand.1. The lid is a nightmare to clean. It doesn’t come apart, so grime and gunk gets trapped under the mechanism with no way to reach it. Even with a tiny brush, it was impossible to clean properly. I eventually discovered old coffee buildup hidden inside—so I’ve basically been drinking mold for months without knowing. When I realized this, I stopped using the mug!2. The lid broke in under five months. The clip stopped working, it won’t stay up or down, and the entire thing became unusable far too quickly.

5 out of 5 Stars (4.6)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐[TL;DR][QUALITY] (5/5)[VALUE] (4/5)[EASE OF USE] (5/5)[MET EXPECTATIONS] (4/5)[PACKAGING] (5/5)[REVIEW REMARKS]There is no doubt in my mind that this is a high-end product. However, the elephant in the room is the $249.99 price tag (at the time of ordering). Price/value is always subjective, so I am not going to dwell on this. I love coffee and the idea of maintaining a constant temperature, is appealing. I can only think of a couple of scenarios that this would be required, and most of the scenarios are not pressing. With that said, I would like to discuss what I like/love about this mug.The look and feel of this mug is modern and sleek. The matte black finish really compliments the modern technology found within. The LED interface is really cool and I like that it displays your temperature (current) and you can change the temperature, up and down using touch based controls. The menu is accessed through touching the “EMBER” logo on the side. This makes it easy to access the menu, but also really easy to change the temperature unwittingly. This is addressable in the APP under ‘Temperature Lock’, activating this feature prevents the touch display changing the temperature. I like the listed battery life and the personalized message you can set in the APP. Both displayed in legible LED dots.The mug pairs with the Ember APP found in the APP stores (IOS and ANDROID) I use Android and the download was quick and you need to create an account for the APP. The APP allows you to pair other Ember devices, should you have them. I like this. The APP also allows you to set the temperature, change between ℃ and ℉ as the unit of measurement, personalize the mug (I LOVE THIS), and access pre-sets for different temperatures for various drinks. The APP is slow at the beginning, it does not register touches after buttons are pressed. I can only assume it is processing the request with the mug?? At any rate, be patient.The charging plate is handy, it makes the mug easy to recharge. It does not make this overly portable. I feel that the battery life will address this issue. If the battery is long lasting, then we are not going to have an issue. The mug has been using the initial charge and I have not used the charging plate since using it the first charge. The battery life is impressive, especially when you turn off the mug when not required.The only design issue I have with the mug is the lid. It is plastic and it has a spring loaded plunger as the lock. If it were not plastic, and it was something a little more durable, it would add to the value of the mug, from my perspective. I am hoping that these lids are provided by the company, if it fails or stops performing.All in all, this is a very technology rich mug and it makes my inner geek smile ear-to-ear. I love the concept of this mug and I like that it works really well. The size is perfect for Americano coffees and it keeps the coffee at optimal drinking temperature. I would like to see how this performs in the colder weather. The outer shell is slick, exercise caution while holding it. I do not think it would like being dropped. I LOVE the personalization. My concern is if this mug is locked to my account, can it be paired to another phone? If the mug is lost and someone finds it, can they used it? If it locks to the account, that is a feature that protects the users from theft.Recommended to the coffee enthusiasts who demand only the most optimal temperature to drink their coffee. This recommendation omits price point and value (both subjective) and basis this recommendation on quality, modern design, tech rich application, use cases, ability to keep hot coffee hot (not intended to warm beverages – outside the scope of the mug), ease of use and aftercare is not difficult. Excellent product, with only minor improvements required in the APP.In the event that experiences change or evolve, updates may be made to this review to address such developments.

This looks good.I really liked the LEDs and the personalisationBut the battery doesn’t last longPlus drinking from the lid wasn’t a good as from the mug .Plus the mug is 250, this was 650And I found an AED 60 lid did the job of making the mug transportable.I just couldn’t justify the x 2.5 times price…Returned…

Initially, I had some doubts about spending so much money on a coffee mug. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality and finish of the mug. It is very well-built. The digital display and touch controls are absolutely beautiful. They have a stunning appearance and when the mug is not in use, they disappear and then reappear magically. After conducting some tests, I can confirm that the mug works really well.One morning, I made three coffees. I put one in the ember mug, another in my usual travel mug that I received from a vendor at work four years ago, and I drank the third one. At around 7:00 am, both the ember mug and the travel mug were at approximately 57°C. I set the ember mug to 55°C and started my day. Just to clarify, I use Celsius and I don’t know the Fahrenheit conversions, so I didn’t bother looking them up. Moving on… around 9:00 am (two hours later), the travel mug was at 50.3°C and the ember mug was at 54.3°C. They were pretty close, but the ember mug definitely retained the temperature better than a regular travel mug. I checked again at 10:00 am, but I forgot to take photos. However, the ember mug was still at 54.5°C and the green mug had dropped to 46.5°C. At this point, the battery in the ember mug was almost completely depleted, so it didn’t quite live up to the promised three-hour duration. Thirty minutes later, I checked one last time. The green mug was at 42.7°C and the ember mug was at 43.8°C. Without power, the ember mug has no insulative properties at all. It relies solely on the heat coil inside to keep your beverage warm.On the positive side, when the ember mug is in use, it feels wonderfully warm in your hands. I can imagine loving this feature during winter or at outdoor events. It’s the best hand warmer ever.Overall, this ember mug is of very high quality and delivers exactly what it promises, no more and no less. It didn’t completely blow my mind, but it performed exceptionally well. I was a bit disappointed that the car cup holder charger, which the ad implies is included, actually needs to be purchased separately. Having that car charger would greatly enhance the capabilities of this mug!
