Microwavable leak-proof mug

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.
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.
