âEmberââ¦Great Name for a Product That Should Burned
Iâve wanted one of these mugs for a while now. And I finally decided to treat myself to one. I could barely contain my excitement at the thought of having always perfectly hot coffee. A dream come true! That is, until 24 hours later when it became a colossal disappointment.Thatâs right, it worked for ONE day. Iâm not exaggerating for dramatic online effect either. Used it the first day after charging it up fully and I was in heaven. But the very next day, the Ember travel mug didnât keep my coffee at temperature for a full TWO hours â lukewarm coffee is a crime against humanity! Thing is that happened even though it had fully charged overnight. Disappointed but not deterred, I put it back on the chargeâ¦where it sat for TEN hours and still never reached a full charge.I promptly sent that POS back to Amazon and got a refund. Ember: DO BETTER!

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 donât, youâll 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.

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 Iâm ready to drink it! I got this right after Christmas as a gift, and I havenât 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 âdefaultâ 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 Iâm 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 âHomeâ screen so you can see everything in one area. Or better yet, make an iPhone widget.Anyway! Thatâs my review! Iâll update as needed if there are any issues later down the line.

Keeps your favorite drink hot
I liked the size of drink, keeping your drink hot, easy to use, l would have it better if the lid would have a hole in it for a straw, a straw makes it easy to drink without using the lid to open while driving or other task

5 out of 5 Stars (4.6)âââââ[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 â and â 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.

While the product worked fine in the beginning, the “buttons” on the mug were clunky but worked after some touches. Not one year old, the mug seems to charge still, but the buttons are not lighting up anymore. Very disappointing as the mug was a pretty expensive gift for not working anymore within a year’s use. Reached out to the manufacturer and no response. Disappointing.

This looks good.I really liked the LEDs and the personalisationBut the battery doesnât last longPlus drinking from the lid wasnât 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 couldnât justify the x 2.5 times priceâ¦Returnedâ¦

This is my first item from Ember. I used it for several weeks every day at work to get a feel for it and here is my experience:Prior to receiving this I felt like it was a really expensive investment for keeping your magical black bean juice hot while mobile.On the other hand keeping my Java hot while mobile was a challenge. I had resorted to having multiple coffee warmers in different rooms at home and my office at work just to keep it hot because I have yet to find an insulated mug that keeps it truly hot for any length of time.Once I received it I unpackaged it and I have to say the matte black finish and simple minimalist design is really really sleek and I love it way more than I ever expected.The shape of the tumbler is graduated which makes it much easier for petite hands like mine to keep a solid grasp on it so kudos to Ember for that.Once I read the manual I washed it and put it on for its first charge. Thatâs when the battery display lit up and I had my first glimpse of the pixelated front display.I donât know why (maybe because I grew up in the 80s lol) but the pixel display is just awesome and Iâll be honest, I spent more than a few minutes tapping the Ember logo to scroll thru the options because I just loved seeing it.Add in the tactile audio when adjusting the temperature and I almost wonder if this was made for people like me who have SPD (sensory processing disorder) because I love it from texture to sound.Despite loving the look and feel of this mug I was a bit biased and prepared to not be overly impressed because it is a cordless mug to keep your drink hot. Sounds so simple.However once I started using it I quickly changed my stance. I really like being able to see the current temperature of the drink when I pour it in because then I know what temperature to set it to relative to that.If itâs straight out of my espresso machine then itâs piping hot and I set it to maintain the temperature.If itâs a take-put coffee I ordered and I am transferring it to my mug then I usually set the mug for a higher temp and it heats it up for me fairly quickly (note: the coffee is hot but usually has cooled a bit by the time I reach the office and transfer it so itâs going from almost hot to piping hot.)I like that the mug lets you know when it needs charging via the display.I find it lasts around the 4 hr mark with a full charge but it also depends on what temperature I have it set to.Now that I have been using this daily fro several weeks I find myself really enjoying it and relishing that I can have hot coffee at my work bench in the shop as well as my office and in our HQ when I need to got there.I have seen other reviews stating that it doesnât last much longer than a year or two and I am really hoping with tender loving care that this mug lasts longer than that because I have grown to love it.If it does stop working after a few years (or sooner) I would be in a pickle because I donât know that I could buy another one but I am pretty spoiled by it now and will really mourn the loss of my hot coffee tumbler.My hope is that once this has been out on the market longer that the price will come down a bit in case it does stop working sooner than laterOne disappointment is that the car charger isnât included despite the product page showing photos of it and implying it is. I travel extensively around the region by vehicle and most of the places I go are in the remote area of Northern Ontario and so do not have any coffee shops or drive thru. Being able to make coffee at home and keep it hot for hours while I travel would be glorious.The next disappointment is that I went to the Ember home page on Amazon to see if I could order it and what the price was..but it isnât there. There is a half listing of some sort for it (technical glitch?) but if you click on it nothing happens and a search of Amazon proved fruitless. I felt like they dangled the carrot and then took it away.For the $312 price point I feel that the travel accessory should be included so I deducted one star for that. Ember if you are reading this PLEASE bring back the travel charger or consider adding it to the mug.Overall this cup won me over and I sincerely hope it lasts a long time. If you are a serious Java or tea aficionado with cash to spare then I would recommend this. ðð»ðð»
