Who the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 is for

Buy it if: Anyone who drinks slowly at one desk with the coaster permanently plugged in.

Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a travel mug -- 80 minutes unplugged is not that.

Buy it if: Ballpoint and pencil writers who want the build quality and the extras.

Avoid it if: Fountain pen users -- buy the 90 GSM Rhodia instead, which also costs less.
