You and your loved ones deserve better than room temperature coffee.
Granted, upwards of $100 may seem an exorbitant price to pay for that, but I’m writing as someone who once subsisted most mornings on a glorious single sip of hot coffee, before inevitably getting wrapped up in starting my day, and ultimately resigning myself to a mug of lukewarm to outright cold coffee — I deserved better. Thankfully, I had a partner who saw that, and gifted me the heated Ember mug, and two years later, I can confidently say it was one of best gifts I’ve ever received.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s a great time to show your partner, your friends, or yourself that love, and thanks to a deal at Amazon, it won’t cost quite as much. As of Feb. 3, you can grab the 10-ounce Ember Mug 2 for $89.99, down nearly $40 from its $129.95 list price.
I will acknowledge that even on sale, you’re paying nearly $100 for a mug. However, that’s part of what makes this mug a great gift — not that it’s expensive, but that it feels just fancy and frivolous enough that most people will likely talk themselves out of getting it. That’s one half of the good gift Venn Diagram — things the person would likely never get for themselves. The other half is, of course, something that the recipient will actually use, and if the recipient loves cozying up with a hot drink (again, I encourage including yourself in this category), I promise this mug will get plenty of use.

Beyond the price, there are a couple of setbacks for this mug. For one, its battery life maxes out at an hour and 20 minutes — it helps, don’t get me wrong, but the Platonic ideal of the Ember Mug would last at least through the entire morning. That said, you can get around this by keeping it on its charging coaster after you fill it up — it won’t recharge while it has liquid in it, but it will hold the battery life. The other downside is that it is hand wash only, so be aware if you plan on giving this to a dishwasher power user.
