InGenious Heated Travel Mug

Product Information

Lastly, we looked at the design of the mug and if they were easy to clean and handle (some got hot to the touch) and pleasant to drink out of. All you need to apply is to have a debit or credit card, to be over 18 years of age, and to be a UK resident. Which means I eventually learned to unclench my jaw and open my mind to the world of temperature-controlled mugs, which keep coffee hot for an extended period of time. Compared to a freshly-brewed cup of coffee, the coffees I tasted two, three, even four hours later were pretty pleasant, and I expected them to degrade much more than they did.

My slightly more scientific testing proved it be even more effective: It stayed within seven degrees of the set temperature for 95 minutes.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. The ionMug looked remarkably like many of the high-end mugs, with a matte black finish and a digital interface.

Take note: For much of the claimed 90-minute battery life, this cup was just shy of that 135˚F target. I feel like with articles like this, the natural reaction is to bristle at the recommendations and make a comment like, “I’d never pay X amount of money for that.Then, after a few days of trying each, I moved to a slightly more scientific testing method, pouring boiling water into each mug and then checking the temperature with a meat thermometer at five-minute intervals for two hours.

Once we receive the item we will process the refund directly to your original payment method, provided that the item arrives with us undamaged and in a resalable condition. Self-heating mug: A self-heating mug gives you the freedom to roam your home or commute to work with coffee that stays hot.Although I did not test it, Ember also makes a travel tumbler with similar features, if that’s more appealing to you. It only offered three settings: you can set it to keep your coffee hot at 135°F, 140°F, or 145°F, but it has just as long of a battery life as the Ember Travel and works continuously when left on its charger. When we say UK, unlike many other sites, we mean the whole of the UK, including Northern Ireland, and all of the Channel Islands! Both Embers and the VSITOO are app-controlled (arguably, these are the only “smart” mugs because of their app connectivity), and even amongst that group, the Ember Travel can be controlled via touch functions on the mug itself. Although it’s supposed to maintain a temperature of 130 degrees, it only did so for around 15 minutes before cooling down.
