Product Information

If you want to keep your morning coffee at the exact perfect temperature for hours, you better be ready to shell out some serious cash. According to the brand, Ember's founder and CEO, Clay Alexander, is an inventor who holds more than 200 patents wor ldwide. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. And if you do want a little extra protection from spills, you'll have to purchase a sliding lid (available for the 10- and 14-ounce sizes) separately.

I can’t say for certain the Ember was the first temperature control mug, but it certainly paved the way for folks to enjoy consistently hot coffee without sticking it in the microwave. We would have liked at least one alternative, especially considering regular Ember Mugs come in white and copper.All Tumblers come with two lids, letting you choose between the leakproof Handle Lid or spillproof Sliding Lid. We looked for mugs that delivered on their stated promise: did they keep coffee at a pleasant temperature over an extended period of time? We’ve all let our coffee go cold at some point during a busy day, but with the world’s first temperature control mug from Ember, disappointing beverages are a thing of the past.

There is a health integration feature that can estimate the amount of caffeine that you're consuming per day by how often you refill the Ember Mug. If you're using it at a desk, it's handy to have it on the charger for all-day heat, and the option to grab it and go when necessary is useful.

I'm not sure I have a great explanation, but it's a nice-to-have add-on for a product that's positioned as a small luxury.

This is all to say: Seeing a mug of coffee's temperature drop from 136°F (after 10 minutes) to 111°F (after 20 minutes) was enough to convince me that, for the right person, these temperature control mugs are a good way to solve a very common problem. By default, the Ember Mug is set to 135, but you can turn it up to 145 or down on the cup itself or in the app. The top of the mug is slightly wider than the bottom, making it easy to hold, even without a handle. That's not a dealbreaker for me — in fact, I've found them easy to clean, thanks to a wide opening and slick surfaces — but it is a small con.Non-Apple-branded products may have the benefit of a manufacturer’s warranty provided by the product manufacturer — please see your product box and literature for details. We tried using both tea and coffee in our mug, and it took some experimenting to figure out what our ideal drinking temperature was.
