My main tip, though: do not waste your time/money/coffee on anything less than the 14 ounce, the 10 ounce is just TOO little.
Pro tip for my ember fam, buy a small pack of rubber coated baby spoons to stir your coffee.
Never use a regular spoon as it will chip the coating.

I ordered a Used Very Good from Amazon for $82 which is the best I could find for any metallic (they seem to have fewer peeling problems?), but doesn't ship for another 1-2 months, so I have time to keep looking for better.
I guess that is a summary of my review... I want another one.
OK I did it myself. I have the 16oz Tumbler. I poured in a cup of tea with it set at 145F. After around two hours I just measured it with my Thermapen and it was 143F even thought the App says 145F. So I guess that's close enough.
...Except I like espresso drinks with foamy milk (also ridiculous I suppose) and they really don't taste good when they cool down, so I would gulp them around the 15 min mark. Now I drink slowly for up to an hour, and I absolutely love it. I actually travel with my Ember if I can spare the room in my suitcase. Yep. It's like that.
One down side: I think cleaning the cup is slightly a pain in the ass. It can't go in the dishwasher, and rubbing soap around the inside with my hand or a scrub brush never works. But I do find that a microfiber or dish flannel works very well. I hate sponges, so I can't speak to those.

Downsides: Battery life is 80% and the app does not play well with new android phones.
The 80% is less than idea but my use case will have it sitting on it's charger 90% of the time anyway so it's not going to effect me. I resolved the app issue by using my old phone to install the app. I was able to update the firmware with no issues on my old phone. I will also not be using the app with any regularity. I set my temp to 'coffee' which I think was 134 degrees and it's about perfect for me.
One other thing I noticed with this mug is that when I pour milk into my coffee or tea, it goes right to the bottom. Most of my other coffee mugs will 'mix' when I pour in the milk. I have to actually stir my drink in this mug since it has no lid to slosh it around to mix.
I got busy with a project this morning and didn't touch my morning tea for almost 2 hours and it was still the perfect temp. Absolutely worth the reduced price IMO.
Amazing mug, horrible software. Ember Supreme is totally worth it in the long run.
