InGenious Heated Travel Mug

Product Information

Compared to the Yeti, the other stainless-steel tumbler in my trial, it got down to the drinkable temperature faster, hitting 138 degrees within 15 minutes (the Yeti was still at a too-hot-to-drink 174 degrees at this point). People who prefer a piping hot cup and choose to reheat their coffee may appreciate the more hands-off solution of a heated mug. We'll demonstrate our appreciation by providing the fast and efficient service you deserve to receive when handing over your hard earned cash. Our caveat is that while the push-button lid is easy to use, the edge of the bottom button can bump your lip when you're drinking, which is distracting. I like double-walled carafes because they keep coffee hot without baking or exposing the coffee to additional heat, and while these mugs do use heat to keep the coffee warm (they do so gently: it’s easier to keep something at a consistent temperature than to bring it up from room temperature or colder), I thought, “if I care so much about keeping coffee warm after it’s brewed, why am I not thinking about how to keep it warm after it’s poured?

VSITOO S3 Pro Temperature Control Smart Mug with Sliding Lid : This performed about as well as the Ember, but users could only pick temperatures in increments of nine and the app wasn’t as easy to use as Ember’s. To add in a “control” factor, I also tested a regular ceramic mug as well as a stainless-steel Yeti tumbler. By and large in our testing, the self-heating mugs performed better than the warming plates, but much of that also came down to whether the mug had a lid.Yes—although this wasn’t part of our testing protocol, I did allow some of the coffees to go cold, usually by letting the mugs get to sleep mode, and turned them back on. We are fully integrated with PayPal, Clearpay and Klarna whom all offer payment options at the checkout. Most of the mugs came with a travel lid—this one did not, and, despite moving it around to tell the charger it was still in use, it went into “sleep” mode around three hours.

Even though it isn’t a rechargeable electric warming mug, Burnout’s specs — that it was invented by aerospace engineers and claims to be better at warming than the gold-standard vacuum-sealed tumblers — caught my eye.In cases where DPD is not possible (Scottish Highlands), we will send via Royal Mail Tracked 24, as DPD do not offer a Next Day Service to these areas. The thermocouple relays the temperature of the coffee in the mug to software that tracks the heat level over a four-hour period. The app for the Ember comes with preset temperatures for a variety of drinks: it’ll hold liquid at an ideal temperature for things like tea, and you can set your preferred temperature setting or just rely on one of the defaults already programmed. Some of the mugs could not be adjusted at all, hovering on or around the 135°F marker no matter what.

We appreciated that the design of the lid allows you to drink from any side (you depress a disk in the center of the lid to open it).

Of the 10 tested, half were self-heating, meaning they have a built-in battery that heats the mug, and half were warming plates, which plug in and act as a gentle "burner" to heat the mug.
