![]() But they really still don't keep it hot enough, long enough. ![]() Travel mugs, even the expensive Yetis and etc are OK. And, you have to have the plate everywhere you go (so, car/classroom/various house places are obviously not an option). And you've also then got this hot burner plate on your desk. There's always a thick skin that forms on top, some of them make your drink so hot it burns, or it's still not hot enough. :D I'd used various mug warmers with special mugs to transmit heat, and they're not great. As a teacher, I found that my drinks would get cold long before they were even a fourth of the way gone. So, it's a constant microwave-drink-microwave-drink situation. I'm one of those people that cannot STAND drinking even "kinda hot" coffee or tea. This mug has one job and it does it poorly. 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. But for me, I viewed $180 as a luxury item I was buying myself. If $180 is a drop in the bucket for your budget, then go for it. 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. I personally would not buy it again nor can I recommend it to anyone. 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'm sure support will send me a new one, but that's beside the point. Unfortunately mine stopped opening, which is the straw that broke the camels back and is what prompted this review. Press once it clicks open, press it again and the lid clicks shut. The Travel Mug2 has a lid with a mechanical "plunger" that you push down to open and close. The last thing that I'll say is that after about a 2 months of owning this, the lid stopped functioning. 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. 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. ![]() 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. ![]() The way it detects the liquid is through temperature differentials. The mug has an liquid sensing feature that detects if the mug is empty. The next issue I had was finding that the mug would randomly turn off. I found this to be far from the truth.Įmber's support confirms this experience is as expected, "With a set temp of 140 degrees, your Ember may have a slightly shorter battery life" in that time I've discovered that the marketing on this product and the experience of actually owing it are in start contrast.įirst let's talk about the battery life, their claim is that it will keep your hot beverage hot for 3 hours. I bought my Travel Mug2 on February 12th 2021 (less than 2 months owning it at the time of this review). The Ember Travel Mug2 is sold at a premium price, however, it is NOT a premium product. unfortunately my experiences with it have been lack luster and ultimately I'd recommend you spend less on something else. I wanted to like this mug, I really wanted this to be a great product. ![]()
