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.

How is this not a good price?
Gen 2 was a good upgrade with improved battery life and larger size, but it's time for them to release Gen 3 with Qi charging and longer battery life, as opposed to just different colors of Gen 2.

If it's too hot in the thermos, you can always invest in those thermal stones that cool down hot coffee some?
Legit question because I just bought the Costco version…damn Slickdeals.
