As a college student, I carry around copious amounts of caffeine to different study locations so this product has been very, very thoroughly tested. There is no leaking (though I do try to keep it upright) and my drinks stay hot for a REALLY long time. If I pour in a boiling hot drink, it's still warm hours and hours later even if I leave the spout open. It's definitely sturdy, but still pretty light. I'd say it's probably about the normal weight of any other travel mug despite its plentiful features. There's even non-slip padding on the bottom so that it doesn't slide off of slanted desks (another added benefit is that it doesn't clink loudly when you set it down -- perfect for lectures). The plastic cap stops turning when you've closed it all the way, so there's no more struggling to open the mug because you've closed it too tightly out of paranoia of spilling coffee everywhere. The spout locks into place with a very satisfying click and doesn't rattle or flop around at all. It's also super easy to clean since there aren't any hard to reach spots. The rubber grip feels like it's of very good quality, though I do notice that its edges are kind of feathery like it wasn't cut cleanly. However, it's barely noticeable -- I only saw it because I spent so long staring at this mug and admiring it. The walls of the mug itself are pretty thick, considering the vacuum insulation plus the ceramic coating on the inside, so I was mildly concerned about the amount of liquid that it would be able to hold. However, it wasn't a problem at all. Sometimes I don't even finish my drink when I fill it up all the way (though that probably says more about my terrible hydration habits than anything else). I've noticed that the ceramic coating inside is a lot easier to clean tea residue off of than the stainless steel of my previous travel mug. The inside of the mug is pretty narrow though, so my small hands can slip inside to clean it but others will probably have to use a brush.
I can't say enough good things about the aesthetic design itself. The matte black is so satisfying and gorgeous (and feels silky to the touch!). And if I occasionally stop studying to admire how well the mug matches my MacBook, well... that's just a bonus. :) The finish does seem like it could possibly scratch, but I've been using it for about a month and I haven't noticed any damage.
Conclusion: I'm never buying a different travel mug ever again.
I like the feel of the hero better. A little more heft because of the ceramic inside. The rubberized bottom also prevents sliding and clinking when setting the mug on a hard surface. It is slightly taller than I would prefer though.
The taste in the hero elite is much better! Love the ceramic interior, I wonder why there are no others with a construction like this one. The Contigo added a metal taste to my coffee. I used 4 different coffees in the Contigo and they all tasted the same once they interacted with the steel interior; not so with the hero! Pure coffee flavor.
I was surprised to find that the hero keeps the coffee hotter longer than the Contigo. The Contigo is a best seller and is always highly rated. I don't have any objective temperatures and times to compare in each, but I can say the Hero keeps it pleasantly hotter over a considerable period of time.
The one thing I like better on the contigo is the lid and opening mechanism. Neither mug leaks when tipped upside down and rattled. The lid on the hero is not large enough to fit an aeropress inside to press the coffee directly into the mug, small by a couple millimeters.
The hero with ceramic taste guard is a wonderful value especially at the price of 15usd that I paid.

Reviewed in Mexico on January 31, 2021
What I like about this particular design is its simplicity. No hooks for my "tea bag" -- something I never plan to use in this mug. No complicated gaskets to wash. Just a simple hinged stopper. The one on our old flask remains perfectly tight after years of regular use. This new one looks just as durable. It's easy to open and close with one hand, and easy to clean. (If I experience any durability problems, I'll update this review. But for now, this mug seems pretty solid.)
I really like the silky feel of the rubbery black coating, though I'm not sure how it will wear in the long run. I'm also not sure about the ceramic lining. I've never had any complaint about my coffee's taste in simple stainless-steel flasks. Still, it seems like a a nice bonus feature. The downside is the inability to use a metal stirring implement in the mug -- something I'd never do anyway. I always mix up my coffee separately.
Coffee stays quite warm in the Hero Elite for several hours. It's possible some mugs would keep the heat longer, though this one probably loses most because of being open constantly while I drink. I use the flask for long meetings, so having the coffee drinkably warm after about three hours is all I need. If you want more than that, you may need a whole different type of mug. For me, this one is just right.
Believe me.. I've tried a lot of ceramic travel mug and this is the best one on Amazon. It kept your drink cold or hot for hours , Keep the taste of your beverage , small ,compact (fit under any keurig or single cup coffee machine) Very durable ... And all parts are diswasher safe !! It's very nice looking to.
I recommand this travel mug.
por tener porcelana un poco pesado que en lo personal no me molesta. Caba bien en el portavazos del auto.
Llego rápido y bien empacado.
