Heated coffee mugs are a must-have for real coffee lovers, including those who love coffee jokes but never joke with their coffee. These smart coffee mugs keep your cappuccino hot all day so you can enjoy your favorite brew from the first sip to the last drop.

If you take your cup of coffee seriously, you should seriously consider getting one of these heated coffee mugs. By now, you’re probably wondering, so what are the best heated coffee mugs to buy? We’ve got the answers right here in our roundup of the best heated coffee mugs to buy right now.

We considered the following factors when selecting our top picks for the best temperature control coffee mugs. You should do the same before buying.

The Ember 2 is the second generation of Ember coffee mugs, the world’s first temperature control mug, and our top pick. This portable 14-ounce  self-heated smart mug keeps coffee at 120 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 90 minutes on a full charge or all day on the charging coaster. You can control it remotely with the Ember 2 app, which surprisingly requires many app permissions. Thankfully, you can operate it with or without the app, and it’ll remember your last used temperature setting. It is best used in settings devoid of flies or crawling insects.

The Ember 2 smart mug automatically enters sleep mode when empty or inactive for two hours and wakes up upon sensing movement or liquid. It also has programmable smart LED light indicators. IPX7 rated, the Ember 2 heated coffee mug is double vacuum insulated, is submersible up to one meter, and can be hand washed. It is backed by a 30-day return period and one-year limited warranty if bought from the manufacturer’s Amazon store.

The Ember 2 heated coffee mug comes from a long tradition of excellent Ember coffee mugs. Fill up, drink up.

The next best heated coffee mug for home or office use is the VSITOO S3 Pro. Unlike the Ember 2, it’s 12 ounces  but bigger with a lid to prevent spillage and provide insulation. The VSITOO S3 Pro is also self-heated and has a wider temperature margin of 96 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit with three temperature presets. It uses a USB type C cable plus a 2,500mAh battery which can last several hours on a full charge or all day on the charging dock. However, some customers report poorer battery life.

The VSITOO S3 Pro has programmable LED light indicators and can be operated manually or via the mobile app, which can equally be pesky. It’s also IPX7 rated and can be hand washed, although the plastic lid and base can be a little hard to clean. It also enters standby mode in the absence of liquid. Overall, it shares a lot of similarities with the Ember 2. You should definitely consider the VSITOO S3 Pro if you want something like the Ember 2 but cheaper.

Enjoy your coffee how you like it at home or in the office with the VSITOO S3 Pro heated coffee mug.

Speaking of price, the best budget heated coffee mug to buy is the hurkins Smug. This 14-ouncer doesn’t take up much space. It also comes with a lid for insulation and to prevent spillage. It uses induction heating to keep your coffee hot at a particular temperature between 131 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit. It uses a USB power supply and doesn’t have a battery, so you’ll need to use it close to the mains.

The hurkins Smug enters standby mode after 8 hours of inactivity as a safety precaution. It also has a  LED indicator. Although it comes with a quick start guide, it doesn’t offer much help with troubleshooting. Surprisingly, the hurkins Smug also doubles as a 10W wireless charger. You can use it to keep your coffee hot or warm your water if undergoing warm water therapy. Although it does the job, it doesn’t quite do it like an Ember 2 or the VSITOO S3 Pro.

Same heated coffee goodness for less than half the price of an Ember 2.

The portable SMRTMUGG heated coffee mug can reach a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit . It also comes packed with a massive 14,400mAh battery that can keep your coffee hot for up to 10 hours on a full charge or all day if plugged in. This is great if you’re a slow sipper. However, it can take quite a while to charge to full capacity. Meanwhile, at only 10 ounces, the SMRTMUGG heated coffee mug can only hold so much brew.

Great for home, office, or any use, the SMRTMUGG easily fits into your palms or your car’s cup holder. Although it doesn’t come with a charging coaster, it doubles as a power bank to charge your phone, tablet, or laptop on the go. It is double vacuum insulated to preserve heat and unlock the full flavor and aroma of your beloved mocha. If problematic, the SMRTMUGG is eligible for a 30-day return, refund, or replacement.
