Microwavable leak-proof mug

October 30, 2023 11:30 AM

Is there a very reliably leak-proof mug that's also microwave safe? I want to microwave my morning drink in the same cup it travels in. It seems like this must exist but the results of my Googling are inconclusive.

How about this Joseph Joseph mug? I have personal experience with the mug but I've been happy with many other things from the same brand. Amazon reviews here.

Sorry, I meant to say that I have no* personal experience with the mug

JosephJoseph have terrible as in non-existent customer support, if you do want to buy that brand I'd advise getting it through a reseller of some kind.

Best answer: I looked into this, my solution was a 16 oz nalgene (half the usual size) . Microwaveable with the lid off/loose, able to take boiling water.

If you don't want to microwave plastic, the best I could find was a ceramic cup with a silicone lid, but it wasn't actually leak proof, just...cupholderable. I wanted something I could throw in my bag and what I found after several attempts was the nalgene. It's been working fine for a couple of years.

Best answer: Another option could be a simple mason jar - use a screw-on lid something like this for leakproof travel, then a drink lid (something like this, but there are many styles) when you want to sip from it.
