Why we picked it
01
Five hours away from the outlet
A full charge keeps your coffee at drinking temperature for up to five hours off the base, so refills from the office kitchen stay hot back at your desk.
02
Brew and drink from one vessel
The included stainless steel filter lets you steep grounds or loose tea directly in the mug, skipping the French press and the second cup to wash.
03
Dial in your exact temperature
LED touch controls let you set the holding temp rather than picking a vague low-medium-high, useful if you take pour-over at 130°F and tea at 175°F.

| In short | Our pick — Bigger capacity than the Ember and longer cordless runtime than the Cauldryn, with a built-in steel filter that lets you brew directly in the mug. | Sleeker design and app control, but smaller and tethered to its coaster more often. | Actually boils water on its own, but bulkier and more thermos than mug. | Built for the commute with a leakproof lid, but pricier and smaller than the Nuwave. |

Common questions
- How does it compare to the Ember Mug 2?
- The Nuwave holds 16oz to Ember's 10oz and runs cordless for hours rather than about 80 minutes. Ember has the more refined app and finish, though.
- Can I actually brew coffee in it?
- Yes — the stainless filter handles grounds or loose-leaf tea directly in the mug. It won't replace a serious pour-over setup, but it's convenient for a desk-side cup.
- Who shouldn't buy this?
- If you finish a cup in under 20 minutes or only drink iced coffee, you're paying for a feature you won't use. A good insulated tumbler is cheaper and lighter.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- No. The mug contains electronics and a battery, so it requires hand washing. The stainless filter can be rinsed separately.
