29 July 2015 UPDATE - With regards to my comments on the price I see they are now back down to £4 each, which is nice. :-) Mine are still going strong and I heartily recommend them.I came here to leave a most enthusiastic review of these soup mugs but I've been kind of stopped in my tracks on seeing the current price of this item. The price has absolutely rocketed since my order for three of these mugs on 20 Dec 2012. I ordered three mugs and paid a total of £11.97 for them, including delivery. The exact same order now would cost me £19.80 !!! Just what is going on? I have heard of inflation but this is ridiculous! (Incidentally, I had already bought a single mug previously and now I own four,

When I ordered it, I did wonder if I had more money than sense, as I saw some at the Poundshop. But when it arrived, I knew why I did not buy from the Poundshop. This is a sturdy plastic mug, and the hinges on the lids are solid. Not like the flimsy ones on cheaper items.I know it is supposed to be a soup mug, but I used it for my porridge. To heat my portion of pasta. And if needs be, for my coffee too, even though, I'd rather have my coffee in a nice china cup. But I spend quite a bit of time in hospital, caring for my son, and I need something that is practical, virtually indestructible and always on stand by. That my Sistema mug for you.I saw other reviewers have had problems with leakage,

Bought three of these - separately as it worked out cheaper than buying a set of 3!I've generally used them for very thick soups - Broccoli and Stilton, Vegetable, etc. and had no leakage at all. The vents on the top seem to work well but there are a number of clicks so it is easy to not click it fully shut.Today I needed to use them for water - one hot and one cold - to fit a mouthguard for my daughter (don't ask!) and then I noticed that the cup with cold water didn't leak at all, but the cup with the hot water did leak a little. I wonder if you are making thin soups like Miso, that perhaps they aren't as good, but for the thick soups, really pleased.Go in the dishwasher well,

These are so simple, yet so fantastic. I don't know how I've lived without them for so long!I've always found transporting soups etc a bit of an issue as there's almost always a leakage of some sort. I've resorted in the past to re-using those plastic soup containers from shop bought soups, but still the spillage issue.I love this cup, so much so, that I have several and even have the noodle bowls too! They have a rubber rim inside for a tight fit. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure if you tipped it upside down, the contents may escape from the 'flip' area, but oddly enough, I've not bothered to test that theory!These can go straight in the microwave,

I've got one of these in Purple and hubby has one in Red. We both love them! I use mine for noodles, occasionally I like a hot cup of noodles and I pop them in, pour on boiling water, lid for 3 minutes and perfect noodles I can eat out of the cup.I use hubby's for him to take left-over dinner into work which he re-heats in the microwave there. He's heated lots in his from home-made soup, to noodles, to casseroles etc. I haven't noticed any staining or the melting of plastic at the top where other reviewers have had that problem and I have certainly used high-fat stuff (Scottish Stovies is heavy in either Goose Fat or Duck Fat the way I make it) and both his and mine have been well used.

Not just for heating soup. You can heat more or less anything in these mugs from tinned goods (baked beans to stewed steak) or use them to scramble eggs (or heat soup!). They really are versatile.The lids clip down tightly and you can open the steam vent on the lid which prevents steam building up during heating. Stops you from getting burnt when you open the lid and keeps the microwave clean - no splashes. Side handle means you have something to hold onto when the product's red hot. I find a half full mug plenty for one serving of soup, beans or raviol.One of those gadgets I bought on impulse and now wouldn't be without. Hard working, durable and last for ages. Will survive no end of wear and tear.

Got bought one of these by my mother and use it for soup at work done in the microwave, like most people I expect. It is perfect for this. I decant the soup into it the night before and just put it in the fridge. Next morning it goes straight into my rucksack inside a carrier bag in case it leaks a little. There are others at work who also use them for porridge. What I did notice though, was that the base is marked to 140 degrees centigrade and there are people at work who don't bother with the microwave at all. We are lucky enough to have a pie warming cabinet and they just put the whole mug into the warmer when they get to work and it's ready to eat straight away at lunchtime.

I had been looking for a while for a container to heat up my soup in the microwave and this does just the job! I tend to heat the soup up in short bursts so it's exactly the temperature I want it and the handle remains cool so there is no difficulty in removing the mug from the microwave (unlike heating up a bowl full of soup and then struggling to remove it from the microwave without (a) spilling any and making a mess, and (b) burning my fingers! This is ideal, I either half fill it at home and put the container in a plastic bag and take it with me to work, or I take a soup carton with me and fill the mug prior to heating. I wouldn't transport the filled mug loosely in my bag as it would tip and leak so placing it in a plastic bag is commonsense.

This is the second one of these, after my last one got lost in a move. It does exactly what it is supposed to, heat up soup in a microwave, without making a mess. It holds the heat quite well and the vent allows steam to escape during the cooking process. Just be careful not to over-heat your soup, as like with many plastics used in the microwave, you can end up with a slightly rough high-tide mark, where the surface of the liquid goes above boiling point. However, if you follow the instructions for heating your soup (usually around 3 mins on high power) you should be fine.What I can't understand is all the people complaining that it leaks, or that they took it to work in their bag and now they have soup everywhere.

Much easier than carrying a heavy bowl when having soup. It can comfortably hold one of the large plastic tubs of soup from the fridge section of supermarkets, and so I transfer the contents once heated and then can effortlessly carry this mug to the table. I could even put it in my dressing gown pocket if I so wished, but wouldn't as steam does escape out of the open vent. It does stain, as any plastic will, when used for tomato soup, but as it's already red, you'd never know! It's completely leak proof when the lid is properly clipped to the mug and the vent is closed, although they say to keep the vent open when hot food is inside. It's the little things that make life easier when you have mobility and dexterity problems,

Don't think this is good for soup only. The size is perfect for heating up a standard tin of baked beans, soup, stew etc with minimum fuss. Right size too for a decent portion of porridge in the morning. Washing up is easy and it's dishwasher proof. Ideal for winter when you get up feeling sluggish in the mornings, or later on come in wet and cold and just want something warm and fast. Easier to manage for anyone with mobility or co-ordination issues than a standard china bowl, so reducing the risk of scaldng accidents for the frail, children, elderly or flu victims. I chose red to avoid the usual issues with tupperware discolouration and red foods like tomatoes.

It seems from reading some of the other reviews that people appear to buy these in fours! I also have four of these and when either my wife or me have made soup we fill these up, stick them in the fridge and that's an easy meal either at home or at work for a couple of days. Anything microwaveable that has a seal that acts as a pressure release, my advice would always be to transport in the upright position as even if the seal is brilliant you may still get the occasional leak. As a result it's a problem I've not encountered when transporting these to work with me. Fantastic capacity as well, when filled to the brim 565ml is a lot of soup.These are simply the best microwaveable soup mugs you

Who would have thought that adding a vent to the lid of a microwavable cup would be such a winner. OK - since buying it I have realised that it is also made of 'good' plastics but for me that little vent is awesome.I found out about it on a visit to New Zealand and started off by using it to make porridge. Put oats and milk/water in. Give it a stir and microwave with vent open for 1.5 mins. Then let it rest for a few minutes to cool down and you get perfect porridge. No mess, no fuss and no horrible porridge pan to clean. It goes straight in the dishwasher.I was so impressed I brought 3 back from NZ and now I realise I can buy them off Amazon.

Great mug - very convenient. Can be used to transport liquid as seals are pretty good - just don't store it upside down in your bag as the odd drip can escape if you abuse it. As others have stated - will absorb colour from tomato soups and will also retain some strong aromas - although these stay as aromas and don't taint the flavour of other soups. When microwaving, watch out for localised boiling damaging the mug at the surface of the liquid - so stir a couple of times whilst heating. If you don't stir, the mug will dance around in the microwave a bit as it boils - but the valve prevents your soup from redecorating the inside of the oven.

Useful for soups and stews, maybe a little slimmer would be nice for transportation as I wanted to be able to take to work but this is rather bulky.A few months later and l wanted to update as this has turned out (despite its bulk) to be a most useful item and l use it almost daily, either to take to work to heat up soup and such, or at home for a variety of uses; my favourite is to fill with porridge and almond or coconut milk (plus a few blueberries/coconut) which l can leave in the fridge overnight and zap for my brekkie, yum!I am about to order another in fact. Just one tip, make sure to pop out the little red steam lid to clean underneath properly, it snaps right back in.
