Our take on the Ciups Self Heating Coffee Mug 16 oz

The Ciups is a 16 oz ceramic-style mug that keeps coffee warm on a plug-in charging coaster, with an easy-sip lid included. It sits in the same category as the Ember Mug, but it uses a heated coaster rather than a battery built into the mug, so it stays warm only while it rests on the base. That makes it a simpler, lower-commitment option for desk and kitchen use. Buyers who want a mug they can carry around the house should look at battery-powered rivals instead.

Questions and answers

How is this different from an Ember Mug?

The Ember has a battery in the mug and keeps coffee warm anywhere for roughly an hour or more. The Ciups heats only while the mug sits on its plugged-in coaster, so it is a desk or counter device, not a travel mug.

Can I put the mug in the dishwasher or microwave?

The mug itself is generally safe to wash by hand, and the coaster and power plug must stay dry. Do not microwave the mug while it is on the coaster, and check the manual before dishwashing the mug or lid.

How long does it take to warm up?

Expect a few minutes on the coaster to bring a hot drink back toward drinking temperature. It holds warmth better with the lid on and a full mug than with a half-empty one.

What comes in the box?

The mug, a charging coaster, an easy-sip lid, a power plug and an instructions manual. No battery or app is involved.

Does it keep coffee hot all day?

No. It maintains warmth while on the coaster, but once you lift the mug off the base it cools like any normal mug. It suits slow sipping at a desk, not all-day heat.
