Basic Information About the Nextmug, the Nextmug Plus and the Nextmug Go

How does the Nextmug work?

Whether you choose the Nextmug, the Nextmug Plus or the Nextmug Go, they all work exactly the same. By setting the mug to “warm” (130 degrees), “hot” (140 degrees) or “piping” (150 degrees), the Nextmug will keep your beverage at the perfect temperature for hours. Keep it on the Docking Coaster to keep your beverage at the perfect temperature indefinitely. Or, undock your mug and take it anywhere - the on-board, lithium-ion battery will ensure your warm beverage stays the perfect temperature.

How do I use the Nextmug?

All Nextmugs are super simple to use: Pour in your favorite hot beverage and set the temperature to “Warm” (130 degrees), “Hot” (140 degrees) or “Piping” (150 degrees), and the Nextmug will ensure that your beverage stays at that temperature for hours. LED lights on the mug indicate your temperature and the battery level.

How much does the Nextmug weigh?

All Nextmugs are lightweight and feel comfortable in your hands:

  • Nextmug: weighs 16.6 ounces (empty) and holds 14 ounces of liquid.

  • Nextmug Plus: weighs 19.0 ounces (empty) and holds 18 ounces of liquid.

  • Nextmug Go: weighs 17.7 ounces (empty) and holds 16 ounces of liquid.

 

What are the key materials used in the Nextmug?

From an elegant matte finish to a state-of-the-art Printed Circuit Board, every component in all Nextmugs use only high-quality materials. The patented design features a stylish ceramic matte finish over a durable stainless-steel mug.   The Nextmug and the Nextmug Plus have ergonomically designed handles and the rounded body can be held comfortably in your hands.  The Nextmug Go is a travel mug, so it is comfortable to hold while you’re on the go and fits into all cupholders. The exteriors of all Nextmugs are insulated from the interior liquid so that it is pleasantly warm - not hot - to the touch.

How does the Nextmug compare to other types of mugs when it comes to keeping beverages warm for a long period of time?

Can I learn more about the battery and its rated life?

The long-lasting, lithium-ion battery ensures your beverage is always the perfect temperature. The battery is fully encased inside the mug. The entire mug rests on the Docking Coaster while charging. The battery is rated to be fully charged 1,000 times, after which it will continue to maintain an 80% level of effectiveness…so you'll enjoy the Nextmug for years to come.

Tips for Use and Care of the Nextmug

Is there a User Manual for the Nextmug?

Yes. Click here to see all Nextmug user manuals.

How do I turn the Nextmug on and off and set the temperature for drinking my beverage?

All Nextmug models work the same by pressing the Control Button (immediately under the Nextmug logo on the mug) as follows:

  • Press once to turn the mug on - this will also set the mug to the “Warm” setting (130 degrees)
  • Press twice to turn the mug to the “Hot” setting (140 degrees)
  • Press a third time to set to the “Piping” setting (150 degrees)
  • Press a fourth time to turn the mug off

How do I track the temperature of my beverage in the Nextmug?

All Nextmug models use the same temperature tracking indicator, as shown below:

What temperature should I choose for my beverage?

This is strictly based on personal preference and may take some experimentation to see exactly where you prefer to drink your hot beverage. Most people tend to prefer their coffee at between 130 degrees (the Nextmug’s “Warm” setting) and 140 degrees (the “hot” setting). However, some people prefer truly hot coffee or tea, so that’s where the 150 degrees “piping” setting should be used. We chose 150 degrees as the highest setting because coffee experts say that drinking your coffee much over 150 degrees causes you to not be able to taste the flavor of the beverage. The best advice is to try your beverage in the Nextmug at different temperature settings and see where your perfect flavor profile is.

Is there an ideal temperature in which to pour my beverage into the Nextmug?

For best results, pour your beverage from your brewing/dispensing device into the Nextmug at or above your selected temperature setting. The Nextmug will then automatically calibrate your beverage to the precise temperature that you have selected on the mug (warm, hot or piping) and then hold the temperature at that level. Microwaving your coffee is frowned upon by many coffee drinkers because it changes the flavor profile of the coffee…and the Nextmug will eliminate your having to use the microwave to reheat your beverage.

Will the Nextmug affect the taste of my beverage

The Nextmug will only enhance the taste of your beverage in that it will hold your desired temperature without having to reheat it – which can cause the flavor profile to change.

What about using dairy products in my beverage?

The Nextmug has been designed to accommodate all types of beverages and contents, so dairy products will taste fine if dispensed into the mug. Please note that if you use dairy products in your coffee (milk, half and half, creamers, etc.), you may experience a “skin” that develops on your coffee after being in the mug for a prolonged period of time. If this happens, it is due to the fat content in the dairy product staying at a high temperature for a long period of time. While there is nothing wrong with this “skin” and it doesn’t affect the taste of your coffee, it can be eliminated by just scooping it off after it forms. We also recommend use of a coffee aerator or “frothing” device to add air to the dairy product – plus it makes the beverage taste great.

How do I use the Docking Coaster? How do I recharge the mug?

All Nextmug models use the same Docking Coaster. Use of the Docking Coaster is shown below:

How should I use the lid?

For the Nextmug and the Nextmug Plus, a Spill-resistant Lid is included. The Nextmug Go includes a specially designed “Go Lid” to ensure that your hot beverage stays warm and in your mug while you’re “on the go.” Of course use of the lids is optional, but we do recommend using a lid whenever your Nextmug is “on the go” with you. Another benefit of using the lid is that it will keep your beverage warmer for a longer period of time when your mug is not on the Docking Coaster.

How long will the Nextmug keep my drink warm?

How does the Auto Shut-Off function work?

If the mug is On, but liquid is not present in the mug, all lights will blink simultaneously for about 10 seconds and then the mug will shut off automatically after 60 seconds.

If the mug is On and liquid is present, the mug will automatically shut off when it has not been moved for 2 hours while docked.

How does the Battery Life Indicator Work?

All Nextmug models use the same Battery Life indicator, as shown below:

What does it mean when the lights on my Temperature Progress Bar are blinking?

What is the best way to clean the Nextmug, Docking Coaster and Spill-Resistant Lid?

For the mug, hand wash with warm water and soap after every use. Be sure not to submerge the mug in water and be sure the mug is dry before placing it back on the docking coaster. We also recommend occasionally wiping down the docking coaster with a damp cloth. Be sure to use a soft cloth when cleaning the inside and outside of the mug so as not to scratch the surface. Whichever model of Nextmug you have, it is important that both the Nextmug and the docking coaster be fully dry when you place the mug on the coaster to avoid corrosion, which may affect the connectivity between the two (and charging capability).

All Nextmug lids are dishwasher safe.

 

Can I put the Nextmug in the dishwasher or the microwave?

No. You should handwash the Nextmug and avoid putting it in the dishwasher because of “smart mug” technology that sits within the mug. The Nextmug should also never be placed in the microwave (there is no reason for it to go in the microwave because the mug will hold the temperature of your beverage, so you won’t have to warm it up).
