![]() 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. My favorite color, but still, just black.I wanted to like this mug, I really wanted this to be a great product. Soccer mornings, Rae Dunn’s “MOM” fits the bill, or if it’s a Girl Scout day, I reach for my GSNETX mug I received as recognition for volunteering. Creative days, I have to have a pretty mug. Struggle bus mornings earn the “Fuel” mug. This is a ridiculous con, I know, but I actually enjoy a variety of mugs. Also, I want Apple Care for this because there’s a good chance I drop it or (someone who will remain nameless) runs the dishwasher with it in it and ruins the sensors. The travel mug, which I thought was possibly more accommodating to my froth requirement and stylishly displays your temperature on the outside, was $150 and that seemed obsessive for a travel mug when I’ve gotten on with my YETI just fine. I chose the cup and saucer version of ember because it was (only) retail $80. Not a big deal though, I just wash the cup (has to be hand-washed, okay, there’s another con) at night and then it’s charged and ready for duty the next morning. You have to charge it every other day, at least for a frequent user like me, and the saucer sits on your counter.
