Ability to reheat cold coffee was seen as a positive aspect, but preheating the mug with boiling water was recommended for better battery performance.

The ability to maintain a consistent temperature was appreciated by some users, but others found it unreliable, especially with the mug turning off randomly due to liquid sensing issues.

Ember Stainless Steel Temperature Control Travel Mug 2 Review
The Ember Travel Mug with Longer Lasting Battery offers an impressive battery life that keeps beverages at your preferred temperature ranging from 120°F to 145°F for up to 3 hours on a full charge. Additionally, it can maintain the temperature all day when placed on its redesigned charging coaster. This is a significant improvement for those who are constantly on the go and need their drinks to stay at the perfect temperature.
Smart With or Without App

One of the standout features of the Ember Travel Mug 2 is its auto-sleep capability. The mug intelligently senses when to turn on and off, entering sleep mode when empty or after 2 hours of inactivity. It automatically wakes up when it senses movement or liquid, ensuring that your drink is ready when you are.

The Ember Travel Mug's leakproof, push-to-open lid is designed to prevent spills while you are on the go. The 360º drinking experience makes it convenient to sip from any side, and it has been engineered for easy cleaning, which adds a layer of practicality to its elegant design.
Hand Wash Only
The updated scratch-resistant coating is safe for hand washing, though it is important to note that this mug is not dishwasher safe. The Ember Travel Mug 2 is IPX7 rated and can be fully submerged up to 1 meter deep, offering excellent durability.
