I see that the cheapest Ember is now $130. My first-gen is about six years old, and the battery is about shot. I hesitate to drop another $150-ish on a new mug, but OTOH, is consistently hot coffee worth $25/year? Yeah, it probably is to me, so I'm going to have to suck it up soon.
- madamelic 2y agoOh, I wasn't even aware they were that much. I could've sworn they were like $70 - $90 last I saw. That sucks.
- jareds 2y agoI'm pretty sure the one I got was $99 but that was a black Friday deal on amazon.
- mikestew 2y agoIm pretty sure they used to be less money, as I don’t think I’d pay $130 sight-unseen. But now that I have one…
- azundo 2y agoThey're often much cheaper at Costco if that's an option and you don't care about a specific color. They are a complete game changer though, especially if you're a new parent.
- mikestew 2y agoThanks for the tip, I’m seeing them for $99 right now. Any color you want, assuming you want stainless steel.
- dotmanish 2y agodifferent sizes. The black-10oz is still $91 at Amazon right now. Price goes upwards for other colors and other size (14oz).
- pammf 2y agoYou can buy only a replacement mug (without coaster/charger). Also, get in contact with customer support mentioning the battery, they usually offer a discount code.
- mikestew 2y agoThanks, I’ll try customer support and see how it goes.
- Octplane 2y agoI had to deal twice with them: coaster stopped working 2 years ago and more recently paint inside the cup came out. Both time, they replaced the broken part at no cost. Probably the first time in my life I'm using and happily recommending customer support of any kind.
