Best Buy is selling the 14-oz., current version of Ember's self-heating coffee mug. Normally, the 14-oz. version goes for $130 but is on-sale today for $100. (That is the regular price of the 10-oz. version.)
This is the same price as the Costco deal also flagged on SlickDeals today. But if you are not a CostCo member, then Best Buy is the way to get the deal.
These are very rarely on a serious sale. I bought the 10-oz., 1st-generation a few years ago for $65 (awesome deal) when Ember was clearing stock on the old model. Then last week for Black Friday, the Ember website was offering $10 off on the purchase of two mugs together. That's typically as good as it gets.
Note it's only available in blue, which seems to be Best Buy-only, i.e., the mug is not available in this color on Ember's website.
Below is the Best Buy link. Not sure if the deal lasts past today.

For those who are wondering why anyone would pay even $65 for a coffee mug, this thing works really well. It will keep your coffee at a set temperature for around an hour if you're away from its charging coaster. And if you keep the mug on the coaster at your desk, it will keep the coffee at a set temperature indefinitely. There is even an iOS or Android app that lets you adjust the temperature to your liking.
Yes, this is a luxury gift. But if you really like coffee (or other hot drink) and want to keep it warm (nearly) to the last drop, this is the best option.

I don't like the cup simply for this reason. If I drank black coffee, I would be in love with it.
Not as slick looking, but for a whopping 22 bucks you could also get a temperature controlled heating pad to use with your plain old dishwasher safe ceramic mug: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0779QR...ZB3E1
I admit these seem very expensive, and they are. I hemmed and hawed for a while because getting one. I've used it literally every day for the last two years. Absolutely worth every penny.

Q6: How can I clean my vacuum bottle?
A: Always rinse out your vacuum bottle after each use and rinse the stopper under running water. Do not soak the vacuum bottle in water or place in a dishwasher to clean. The exterior, stopper and cup(s) can be cleaned using a moist sponge or soft cloth and mild dishwashing liquid. The interior can be cleaned using a mild dishwashing liquid and then rinsed thoroughly. Please refer to your instruction manual for more.
I suppose this is good for someone who works from home and sips at their coffee from a mug for hours?
Honestly, a 14oz mug you're gonna fill to about 12-13oz... I'm going to be done with that in 30 minutes.
Anything more goes in a thermos, and a good Henkel or Zoji keeps it HOT all day.
I bet the battery isn't replaceable either.

No, you cannot put it into the dishwasher. While I have not timed it, I think it takes me 15 seconds to rinse the mug by hand. It's not like I've missed watching my kids grow up while rinsing this mug.
No, the battery is not replaceable. Two years on, the battery on mine is fine. (Just for context, the battery on my cellphone also is not replaceable.)

LOL sounds awesome

This was funny. Thanks
This has an engine people! What did you think it was gonna cost?
Can it keep your body at 145F ?
Virtue signaling, at least it made you feel better. You'd have to be a monk to practice what you preach. So what's a monk doing on Slickdeals?
