Nextmug Go - Temperature-Controlled Self-Heating Travel Mug Burgundy - 16 oz

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! 💛 Read more

I'm very pleased with the product. Not only was it delivered earlier than expected, the packaging/presentation is thoughtful and attractive. I've had an Ember travel mug for several years and have been a very happy with it. It has saved me money because I'm not throwing out lukewarm or cold tea. And both saving money and having hot tea makes me happy! But it was on the fritz, so I shopped around. This is the first Nextmug I've purchased. I was impressed that they advertised keeping the beverage warm for up to 5.5 hours! I got the travel mug because I thought the handle would be in the way in my car console. I appreciate the generous capacity. At first I thought it wasn't legit because it looks shallow compared to the entire unit, but it really does hold the entire capacity advertised. The fit is good in my hand, as well. Some of the other travel mugs are wide and my smaller hands make using them uncomfortable. But this tapered design means it's very comfortable for me if I hold it a little lower, where it's narrow. Since this is where the battery is anyway, it's where the bulk of the weight is. The coaster is minimalist rather than oversized and everything is very easy to use. While this will be my daily home to work teacup, I do miss a handle. However I still have an Ember that I keep at home. When that starts to go on the Fritz, I'll probably get a Nextmug to replace it because they have larger capacity. I drink my tea by the pot, so dinky cups are an inconvenience. 🙂🫖 Read more

This is the one! You've been looking for the cup that keeps your coffee hot. Not warm; Hot. This is that mug. It's got a comfortable feel, holds a lot of liquid, and gets and stays piping hot!. Controls are easy to use, just make sure you turn it on and select the desired temp. It feels like it's high quality, so I expect to to last a while. It's lasted 5 months of near daily use so far and no complaints yet. We've gone through several different mugs and none of them kept the coffee hot for long. This mug actually lets you set it to a high temp, use a lid to retain heat, and doesn't require you to use the charging plate to maintain hot temps! What's the use of a travel mug that you can't travel with? You'll get a long hot cup here. Read more

I love this mug. I'm a slow coffee drinker. I've been using a popular Japanese mug that keeps things hot for hours. Only problem with it is that it's so good at keeping things hot, it continues to cook the coffee and it eventually is burned. This is not the case with the Nextmug. If I'm done drinking for the moment, I can turn it completely off and reheat as needed. Somehow, it does not burn the coffee. Yes, I wish it had a bit more volume; it holds a medium coffee. But this is something I knew while purchasing. I also bought several coasters to keep in different spots. UPDATE: Less than a year after purchase, the lid is broken and has to be replaced. The plastic piece that holds on the stopper broke. For the price, I expected better durability. My only complaints are battery life and leakage. This thing is definitely not leak proof. It leaks around the spout area if the mug is tilted, so you cannot just throw this in a bag. It has to remain upright. Ive found that it doesn't leak around the lid itself, but just the spout (and it's significant leakage). I wish they'd make a lid with a leak proof spout, like the aforementioned Japanese travel mug. Battery life isn't great either. I've maybe gotten 2-3 hours on hot, and less than that on piping. This is why I bought several coasters, so I can keep it charged when I am sitting still. Overall, though, I'm very satisfied with the purchase. With a new lid, this would be a home run for me. Read more
