I used it every day and the ceramic coating flakes off the inside of the mug. Technically it's safe but the cup looks awful inside and something about knowing the ceramic continues to flake off in my drink bothered me.
I stopped using mine and got a dumb version of a electric warming mug from Walmart for $40 and it has lasted me over 2+ years with no paint or coating flaking. The inside looks a little scratched up but that's to be expected. No flaking off substance though.
I would not recommend this unless you really need Bluetooth and app connection
Feel free to look up ember mub flaking you'll see it's super common. At least it was on the Ember 2 mug I had, not sure they've fixed it in newer models.

Cleared them out of course. great gifts. I've used mine for nearly four years, daily. Flaking is a problem on my white one (don't go with white if you care about appearance).

And I don't doubt that.
So let me try and explain how I used it and maybe that led to its demise.
I drink mainly chai which is milk heavy, and even when I have coffee it has some milk or half and half.
I think what caused the flaking is that I would sip on my drink throughout the day and eventually there would come a time where there isn't a lot left but I wouldn't chug the last sip because closer to the heating element it was hot. And unless I remembered to turn off the heat sometimes I would leave the mug for maybe an hour or more still on the charger so it was still heating.
The result was baked on milk solids where hard to clean and required a little elbow grease.
Now I don't doubt that if you were to mainly drink black coffee or tea only that yes you could use this and never have it flake because you can just wipe it clean with water and some soap.
My gripe is that exactly though, using it with milk products is a fair assumption for something meant to be used with coffee and the mug isn't dishwasher safe. So has to always be hand washed so yeah some people are going accidentally over time scratch the surface finish.
If anyone wants the mug go for it. I have just been much happier with an alternative.
Guess I will ask for a free replacement from Ember too.

It keeps coffee warm. The battery doesn't last quite long enough but if you use the coaster, you can forget your drink and sip on it all morning.
Don't use metal utensils or harsh cleaners, which is common sense for every coated item in your kitchen.
The app isn't great but there's no real use for it after initial setup. Set your temperature, pick an LED color if you like and... that's it.
