We have something like this at work and it is mainly for people that want to have different coffee… decaf and caffeinated ( for example).
Got a tip for us?

Seeing some mental gymnastics to justify this useless piece of kit.
Want your coffee to stay warm / cold three hours? Buy a double walled cup for it or get a thermos. The amount this thing holds should probably be gone long before it gets cold, unless you’re trying to ration on a mountainside… in which case buy waterproof matches and a collapsing kettle.
For any “use case” there are better options at 1/10 the price.
This thing is absurd - talk about a product solving a question never asked.

I don't want my coffee to stay warm. I want it hot. It stays hot with this, not warm. We have many double walled cup and you are correct they keep coffee warm much longer than anything else, but not hot. Sorry the price is out of your range for this convenience.
This thing needs to go away.
A $200 crap gadget that is inferior in every way to a $20 Contigo travel mug

Let's make a bet. I bet the ember keeps coffee at a hotter temperature than your contigo which by the way we have and doesn't come close.
Well since I have bought 2 so far that means only one. We also own a car that is sold far less than what you drive. I guarantee it is worlds better. Quantity sold is irrelevant
I also own ice cubes that are reusable so that I can have bourbon that is ice cold without dilution. Exponentially higher than water based ice. Don't care. I order from the left side of a menu not the right.
That’s why they’re promoting it to Apple customers. If anyone would spend $200 on a mug, it’s Apple customers. Not saying it’s not a great mug. But they’re going for the top end. It’s like the Mac Pro. The target market is people for whom the price is not an issue. That’s pretty much the beginning and end of the market for it, and apparently it’s enough.
I don't worry about that I have Jeep Gladiator, no fear of ever leaving it on my roof!
i used to sell suitcases and people would spend a grand on a carry-on case with a luxury label on the front, just so they could show off to other people about how rich they were. that's basically what this is.
Whew! I've been needing something absurdly expensive to keep my drink hot whilst listening to my $60K Jony Ive turntable.
I received an Ember product as a gift several years ago. The first two chargers failed while under warranty. The next four I paid for. There's a fundamental design flaw in the charging contacts the mug rests on.
As I type this, I'm sipping from a cold $350 coffee mug while waiting on delivery of another charger. I'm also hearing my deceased mother's voice mutter something horribly sarcastic in the back of my head. I'd forgotten what a mean mouth that woman had.

Unbelievable. MacRumors members can't manage to get through a thread about a coffee mug without getting into a p¡$$ing contest.
I have an Ember mug and love it.
If you don’t see the appeal, then it’s simply not for you – why can’t it end there?
I find the judgmental attitudes in this thread to be quite childish.
Nobody is wrong for enjoying things you don’t.

The crema that is part of a well-drawn espresso shot has nothing to do with dairy products.
I have the mug version of this thing- received as a solar orbit completion present. It’s fine for the 45 minutes or so I spend checking and replying to email at my computer desk first thing in the morning, but if I had spent the $150 or so this thing cost I would be slightly disappointed. Battery is not great. But it does hold my black coffee at exactly the same temperature while it lasts.
SO you decided to comment on a thread where people want their coffee hot on a product that does so and say it isn't worth it because you want your coffee not hot. Whew
