Are these $150 SMART MUGS Worth It?! - Ember Mug Review

If you’ve spent any amount of time on the internet searching for the perfect coffee mug then you’ve surely come across an Ember mug. You may even have seen these in Apple stores.

At a whopping $100 for the 6z version and up to $200 for the travel version, are these smart mugs worth the coin or is it yet another needlessly “smartified” product?

I have just got myself the travel mug i have not yet tested it out the main reason i chose the travel mug 2 is because i spend a lot of time at work and when i get a cup of coffee at work i don’t normally have time to finish it so it would normally be cold before i get back to it and carrying a cup around with me is hard so this will be more beneficial to me as it will keep it worm and it means i can carry it with me. The other reason is when I’m off work it will mean i can call into my local coffee shop on a morning get my coffee in the travel mug and it will keep it at my desired temperature as sometimes depending on who is preparing the coffee doesn’t always get the temperature right

Absolutely insane video quality Xris, great review!

[ChurroWaffles]

A very solid review and recommendation on the Ember Mugs. I was strongly considering purchasing an Ember Travel Mug so I can take my Pour-Overs to work but for $200 and a potential additonal $40 for a charger I’d rather just stick with my $12 Columbia Cup. You deserve more than the 4.6k views this video has to be honest. The feel and aesthetic of your videos look like someone with a whole team producing and editing videos.

6:01 You can buy 3rd party chargers with a slimmer form made for car charging

This is a thorough review and mirrors my experience with the 14 oz ember mug2. I like my beverages hot and now keep a near-perfect hot tea by my side... with re-pours all-day when needed. I'm satisfied with the well engineered build quality too. The smart features makes it easier to set up a temperature value setting of 145F vs 138F for instance. And the drinker is not tied in to predefined values which is nice.

My one complaint is that if my mug2 isn't sitting on the charger the battery does not "last up to 80 minutes". That must be at the lower temperature settings (not 145F as I prefer) and in a warmer environment. But perhaps I'll cover the top to help keep the heat in. In the meantime, I've ordered a second charger to keep downstairs, away from my office upstairs. And I've also purchased 3 more mug2's as very nice gifts.

But reading the comments for those who don't see the value for a $100+ cup, I get it. This isn't for everyone.

- Thank you Xris. I only wish that I had seen your review months ago. Cheers! (Subscribed)

I love my ember² but after a recent firmware update I am no longer able to remain connected to the mug with my android phone. Customer support were super unhelpful, so now my mug is a standalone device, which is very disappointing for such an expensive product.

I held off for years, because I always thought it was so bougie. 😂 But coffee is an essential part of my day, for real. I finally caved in last year and have not regretted it one bit. I’d say 80% of my drinks are just hot black Americans. I find that milk-based drinks don’t work well. Maybe because I keep it too hot. Not sure.

Thanks .Love your review before i buy one .

[Yowzoe]

Concise, intelligent, and beautifully edited 🙏🏽

[garbinskis]

does the stainless mug battery last longer because stainless holds heat better?

[TrendyStone]

I've really enjoyed my ember travel mug. After 5 years battery life has diminished so it's probably time to buy a new one.

[retireAnyAge]

How does it compare with the VSITOO S3 ?

[friendslovecars]

Odd question, but what font did you use for the thumbnail? It’s great!

[TrendyStone]

Love your watch BTW. Looks like a Panerai.

[MultiStPauli]

Uh when do you tell us about the Arco, that I spotted? (Still waiting for mine :( )

[janosadelsberger]

Noooo so disappointing that the charger isn't USB-C. I was almost ready to buy one but there really is no way that I'll get another proprietary charging brick in 2022.

[andecap]

Mine lasted almost a year before i accidently put it in the microwave...

[abrahamstagi]

You are the 3rd person I saw talk about this Ember Travel Mug² and I have seen underneath the lid there is a chip in the actual product in all the reviews I have seen.
I took mine back twice and have seen this chip in both Ember Travel Mug²... That's not right... Someone should say something for such an expensive mug, it should be a completely non-chipped Mug. God bless.

[asiatanae]

Someone help me understand, so you must fill the mug all the way up in order for it to work?

After having to replace the charging coaster twice within the first year, I do not recommend the Ember mug. Customer service was of no help.
