## Description

desertcart.com: Ember Stainless Steel Temperature Control Travel Mug 2, 12 Oz, App-Controlled Heated Coffee Mug with 3-Hour Battery Life and Improved Design, Black : Home & Kitchen

Review: save your money - I wanted to like this mug, I really wanted this to be a great product... unfortunately my experiences with it have been lack luster and ultimately I'd recommend you spend less on something else. The Ember Travel Mug2 is sold at a premium price, however, it is NOT a premium product. I bought my Travel Mug2 on February 12th 2021 (less than 2 months owning it at the time of this review). in that time I've discovered that the marketing on this product and the experience of actually owing it are in start contrast. First let's talk about the battery life, their claim is that it will keep your hot beverage hot for 3 hours. I found this to be far from the truth. Battery life claim: 3 hours Actual: ~1.5 hours @ 140degrees Ember's support confirms this experience is as expected, "With a set temp of 140 degrees, your Ember may have a slightly shorter battery life" The next issue I had was finding that the mug would randomly turn off. The mug has an liquid sensing feature that detects if the mug is empty. The way it detects the liquid is through temperature differentials. If there isn't a significant enough delta between your coffee/tea and the desired temp set on your coffee then the mug will automatically turn off. so if you pour your coffee/tea into the mug and run out of the house there is a possibility that your mug may turn off and your coffee will be cold. It boggles my mind why they have not included an override for this so that an owner can turn the mug on and off manually so that they are in control and can be assured that the mug is indeed keeping their liquid at the desired temperature. The last thing that I'll say is that after about a 2 months of owning this, the lid stopped functioning. The Travel Mug2 has a lid with a mechanical "plunger" that you push down to open and close. Press once it clicks open, press it again and the lid clicks shut. Unfortunately mine stopped opening, which is the straw that broke the camels back and is what prompted this review. I'm sure support will send me a new one, but that's beside the point. The fact that the lid broke after 2 months, the mug is very finicky and the battery life is roughly half of what they claim leads me to a point where I can say that this is a product that needs a lot more work. I personally would not buy it again nor can I recommend it to anyone. there are a lot of other cheaper heated travel mugs out there that you could buy 2-3 of knowing they will break before you get to spending $180. If $180 is a drop in the bucket for your budget, then go for it. But for me, I viewed $180 as a luxury item I was buying myself. Keep in mind $180 is ~1/5th of what a new iPhone costs, 1/5th of the price of an item that has almost unlimited uses and brings immense value to my life. This mug has one job and it does it poorly.
Review: Excellent mug to keep my drink hot! - I was always one who just made coffee and would drink it over about 2 hours. I could never instantly drink it straight from the Keurig or coffee pot, and always let it sit for 15 minutes or so before even touching it. With the Ember I still let it sit, but I know that it will be the perfect temperature when I’m ready to drink it! I got this right after Christmas as a gift, and I haven’t had a cold sip of coffee since. I have two, very small complaints - one with the mug design, and one with the app. The mug itself is very easy to use. There is a power button on the bottom, and it also has a touch area to active the temp buttons, or to view the battery level. You just turn it on, and pour your hot drink in, and it will stay at your desired temperature for as long as you have battery. The “default” temperature is 135F. So anything hotter than that will use the battery more, and obviously anything less will help the battery last longer. I keep mine around 130F and I can easily get over 2 hours with it. I usually finish mine around the 2ish hours mark, and I have battery to spare - guessing about another 30 minutes easily. My only complain for the mug design is the charging coils on the bottom of the mug. It states in the description that the mug is fully submersible - which is great. The charging dock that you charge the mug on, can NOT have any water on it. After my first time cleaning it, I noticed there were droplets of water stuck in where the coils are. I took some canned air and blew inside of them, and sure enough a decent amount of water came out. I may be over thinking this design, but I’m still concerned that the water stuck inside there would damage my charging dock. If Ember wanted to comment back so I know not to freak out, that would be great. ;) Then my only other minor complaint is the app lay out. Unlike some users, I have had zero problems with the app! I was able to update my mug just fine. My request is that they display the battery level on the “Home” screen so you can see everything in one area. Or better yet, make an iPhone widget. Anyway! That’s my review! I’ll update as needed if there are any issues later down the line.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this Bluetooth or wifi?**
A: Bluetooth. Their website has a list of compatible phones.

**Q: Just received the mug, how do you open the lid? it doesn't open**
A: Well, you can screw the lid off to refill it or if you want to drink out of it just push down in the center of the lid and the spring loaded seal will retract allowing you to drink from it . . .

**Q: Is the charging coaster wireless at all? If not that should be something to think about as an upgraded attachment**
A: The charging coasters do not yet offer wireless charging. They use physical contacts to charge the mug. I hope in the future Qi wireless charging is added.

**Q: Can this be brought on an airplane?**
A: Yes, I just brought it on a plane from PDX to LAX, I didn’t have any problems going through TSA on either leg of the trip. I had it in my carry on but took it out of the bag for TSA check with my other electronics.

### ⭐ Flawed in three huge ways.
*by A***R on December 31, 2019*

My wife loves drinking tea, so I bought this for her for Christmas. Six days later, we're returning it. Why? 1. It's not an actual thermos. If you put hot water in a regular glass cup, you'll get the same level of thermal insulation. To test this, she put some tea in a regular thermos and some in the smart mug. An hour later, the smart mug's tea was cold and the thermos still kept it hot. This was with the power off. None of this should be a problem if the mug keeps the liquid at the temperature you set it at when you turn it on, right? Correct, BUT IT WASN'T DOING THAT! Even while on and set at a specific temperature, it was dropping below. And since the insulation in the mug is terrible, it puts tremendous strain on the battery. Which leads me to point #2 2. The claimed three hour battery life. The battery was dying after an hour. Probably because since the insulation in the cup is so poor, the heater has to fight like the dickens right from the beginning to keep the liquid inside hot. 3. The amount of liquid it can hold. While it can hold a small mug's worth of liquid at 12 ounces, the reality is that since it's a travel mug and (supposedly) has a three hour battery life, it should hold enough liquid to make all of this worth-while. At an absolutely minimum, it should hold 16 oz, but I'd prefer 24 ounces. 24 ounces is enough space to last you a few hours. 12 ounces is what you can drink in one sitting. But let's be honest: it wasn't able to keep 12 ounces hot. 24 ounces would probably be impossible with the technology they're using. At the end of the day, the idea is great but the execution in many ways is poor. Save your money and just buy a good thermos!
