Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a spill-proof mug?

Simply look for a label on the packaging or in the description of the thermos that states that it is spill-proof. Keep in mind that there is a small difference between leak-proof and spill-proof mugs. Leakproof mugs come with a lid or cap that prevents liquid from seeping out when it is tightly close. Spill-proof mugs are often used for children or little ones, and they prevent liquids from spilling out at all times.

How does an insulated mug work?

An insulated mug is often called a thermos, and it’s built with two walls. The air between the walls is removed by the manufacturer, and this creates a vacuum that will keep your liquid at the right temperature. Genius, right?

Can I put a plastic mug in the dishwasher?

Most plastic will wear down over time when it is put in the dishwasher. Particularly if it’s made from BPA. However, you can always check with the manufacturer of your coffee cup to see if it is safe for dishwasher use.
