Nextmug Go - Temperature-Controlled, Self-Heating Travel Mug

I would like to start by saying this is not a paid review at all. I am very passionate and very picky about my coffee mugs. Feel, taste, features, spill-protection, and quality all go into account and this travel mug checks pretty much everyone box. I included photos as well to better show off the mug. I ended up getting myself this mug for Christmas because the other one I got from Walmart (pictured) was so bad. It was tiny, died incredibly fast off the charging pad and took so long to warm the coffee up once turned on. The Nextmug though blows it out of the water. Only takes minutes to have my coffee at the perfect temp, which for me is "Warm". I did not test the other temps however because I do not use them. The mug itself stays charged for a few hours while left powered on but undocked from the charging pad, which does not sound too great when you first think about it but you have to consider it is a tall-ish mug that is providing internal heat and holding it for X amount of time. Speaking of that, off the charging pad, it holds the "Warm" temperature setting for about 5ish hours. The lid is incredibly secure, pretty much air tight. I tested by filling it up with water and shaking it and barely any liquid came out. I did not test how durable it is by dropping it on hard surfaces however because I really do like my mug and I'd hate to damage it. Realistically, I'd avoid dropping it at all considering it is a machine at its core and dropping any machinery risks making it dysfunctional. You could also damage the "shell" of the mug, making the test essentially not worth it for me. All the heat is contained within the mug so you do not have to worry about burning yourself while holding it. It holds about 16 fl oz of liquid per the description (about the same amount as the black mug in the picture), half of the mug being the liquid holder and the other half being the charging base/battery. It fits perfectly in car holders and the car cup sleeves. If the battery duration of a few hours does not sound too attractive, one way you can use this mug is by making your coffee in it and then only turning it on when you actually are about to drink the coffee. During a long trip, in the office, walking a trail, among several other scenarios, 5 hours to work with for a self-heating mug is really good in my opinion. The design is sleek, it feels really nice, it looks great, the LED lights are useful and vary (green for the charging indicator and white indicating the temp settings). To put things in perspective, I mostly only used the black Walmart mug sporadically and dreaded doing so. I would make my coffee, sit it on the pad, and wait hours for it to actually heat up. It'd get so bad, by the time my coffee was ready, I didn't really want it anymore. Instead, I drank it because I made it and didn't want to waste the effort of going through making it. The Nextmug however, I've drank at least 3-5 mug fulls of it throughout the day because it's so easy to use, the coffee is ready so quick, and the LED lights are so easy to understand/see. It blinks on the temp setting while it's warming up, then becomes solid when the liquid contained in it has reached the temperature you have set. After that, it's good to go. I've used it nonstop since I have purchased it and there are VERY few products I can say that for. That does it for my review! No, I'm not a salesman and I am not being paid for this review. I am just a very satisfied customer and I really, really like this mug. I know how tough it can be to find the "right" mug and I did a LOT of research before I decided on this one. I considered the one that allows you to use your app through it (I believe it's the Ember one) but something about this one just called out to me. It may be $100~ but I can give 100+ reasons and maybe more for why this mug is so good and worth it. I could do a whole presentation even! And because of that, I must say without a doubt, it is well worth it. Every penny. Thank you for such a quality product and an AMAZING christmas gift for myself! I love my mug! 💛

These are very expensive mugs.....but you get what you pay for. So far it has worked brilliantly! Only minor criticism is the plastic taste associated with the no spill lid. Hoping to fix that by leaving it in the coffee grounds for a few days 😜

Awesome mugs. I now have one of these and three smaller ones. I use them everyday. Item received was exactly as described.

I have been using an ember mug 2 for a long while but it doesn’t get hot enough for me and despite always using a wooden spoon, the coating inside is coming off and I don’t feel good continuing to use it. I bought the ember tumbler since it doesn’t not have a coating inside but day after day when filled with hot coffee it kept saying that it was empty and would never stay connected to the app. So I decided to try something different. The nextmug is quite large but does not hold as much as it looks like it will. Presumably that’s space taken up with a bigger battery/heating element? However, that’s fine for me. I like not having to use an app to control it and it heats hotter than the ember mugs which I like much better. The lights show the battery level and the temperature setting. So far I’m very happy with this mug and much prefer it to the ember mugs.

Works great according to my daughter.
