I purchased this Mug for my Mother for Christmas and she absolutely Love it!! She uses it for her morning coffee and she said that it's the first Mug that was actually Comfortable to hold as the handle is the perfect size for her hands and it allows her aging hands to securely grip the mug. She also said it keeps her coffee hotter a lot longer than her previous Mugs did and there is no fear of dropping it and breaking it. But the best part is she said it doesn't effect the taste of her coffee like many others. I can tell they have a good QC standard as there was no sharp pieces of flashing left anywhere on the Mug or the Lid, like is so often the case with Injected Plastic Products. Another thing I really appreciate is that the product is made in New Zealand. Honestly that was the biggest selling point for me, as it wasn't made in China like almost everything. I would 100% Recommend this product to others. You cannot beat it for the price and the quality of the product. Would buy again in a heartbeat! Well done Sistema 👏👏👏 Read more

Works really well. Beans and potatoes no longer explode in my soup, splatter in my microwave and make it dirty. Read more

This cup is pretty good. It would be awesome if the lid was completely sealed when locked on. My cup leaks slowly if it’s not completely upright when in use. Read more

This mug is now my favorite cooking utensil in my vast array of microwave utensils. I have now been using this mug for just about every thing I heat and reheat in the microwave oven. Leftover vegetables, stews, soft boiled and scrambled eggs and just boiling water. This cup is also great for making instant oatmeal, hot chocolate and instant anything. I found that it's better to take your cup of soup out of the styrofoam cup, put it in this cup, fill with water and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes and let it stand. I also use it for cold canned and jar fruit, cold cereals and snacks. It's just a damn good mug. I have used it every day and there is no sign of wear and tear. I hand wash all my dishes so I can't verify it being dishwasher safe. I keep reading reviews stating the mug was purchased for leak proof heating and as a travel convenient mug. I have been over the description a few times and have never seen the claim that it is leak proof. As far as travel to the office or whatever, purchase one specifically for the office if there is a microwave available. As far as other travel? Even the so called made to be leak proof mugs leak in my experience. Sisters has a website you should check out. No where on that site does it claim any of their microwave products are leak proof or designed for travel purposes. I think the fact that there is a vent to allow steam to escape would indicate this mug isn't leak proof. By the way, I just used the mug to make a Vinegarette by shaking the mug and it did leak at the vent but that was my mistake. Excellent Excellent! I've been looking for a microwave mug for awhile locally for some time. I'm a widower who can cook well but on occasions a nice bowl of soup, the large 18 oz. size, hits the spot and is a pretty good meal to boot. I have been using a larger bowl with a plastic wrap to cover and heating it in a couple of intervals to heat through. Problems always arose when removing the wrap as the stuff gets like molten lava and transporting to the table or wherever the contents spilled. Then came along this Amazon suggested item. For the pride and from previous experience with this manufacturer I decided to take a chance and ordered the mug. Surprise! It was delivered the following day instead of the Prime two day delivery time. Removing the plastic and labels I washed and dried the item and set it out to dry. That night I decided to give it a try with a can of Chunky New England Clam Chowder. The mug took the entire can with a little space left over. Put the lid on, snapped the lid tight using the three locks and opened the steam vent. Set the microwave on high for three minutes on the turntable. At the end of those minutes I expected to have to remove the lid and as usual stir the soup and to heat another couple of minutes. I didn't have to. I don't know if it's the design or what but the soup was heated through. Place the top back on and moved to the table along with a green salad and crackers. I consumed the salad first then removed the lid to find the soup still steaming. Great! I don't believe the mug is designed for travel in an auto or other moving vehicles. While washing the mug I filled it with soapy water with the locked lid on and did notice some leakage. I plan to order another mug soon and to experiment with other foods to get the best use of the mug. I paid full retail for the mug and received no financial benefits. Read more

Excellent purchase! I looked at a lot of similar products before I bought four of these to pack my lunch soup in for work through the fall and winter. So many others had a lid for microwaving, but the lids are loose-fitting and will spill in your lunch bag. I've had no leakage in my lunch bag, and the lid allows you to pop the vent and put it straight into the microwave. I wash the cups and lids in the top rack of the dishwasher with the heat dry on, and I've had no trouble with warping. It has been healthier and cheaper than other lunches I could pack, and certainly cheaper and healthier than going out. I buy a large soup (like Bear Creek mix), cook it, and put the week's soup portions in individual Sistema cups in the fridge, and then freeze the rest in individual portions in Tupperware. The following week, I just defrost the soup portions a little, and put them in the Sistema cups for that week. Usually one bag of $3.50 soup mix will last me 2 weeks — that's 6 lunches @ 58¢ each (I work 4 days a week, and have soup 3 of them.) The only minor sign of wear in four month's of use now is a slightly roughened surface on the inside of the cup at the line where the microwaved soup bubbles. About a couple years later: these wonderful soup cups have held up great! I take soup to work everyday in the winter, and I bought a couple more just so I have clean ones for the new week. Still, five stars! Read more

I enjoy using several of the Sistema Microwave products as they are sturdy with great functionality. This soup mug is great for office and home avoiding splashes in the microwave because of the vent. Read more

I bought several of these for friends after using one for myself. This container is the perfect size for soup and other liquids needing microwave heating. I'm planning to put them in stockings for Christmas. Perfect for family and college students. Love them. Read more
