Product and Details
We use food-grade stainless steel (18/8 / 304 grade) which is durable, corrosion-resistant, and fully safe for beverages.
Yes - no plastics that contain BPA or harmful chemicals are in contact with your drink. The interior is 100% stainless steel.
Typically, cold drinks stay cold for up to 12–24 hours and hot drinks stay warm for 6–12 hours—depending on external conditions and how often you open the bottle.
No - stainless steel does not retain flavors or odors when cleaned properly, so it won’t alter the taste of your beverage.
Usage & Care
We recommend hand washing only. Dishwashers may damage the insulation or the finish.
Use warm water, mild dish soap, and a bottle brush. For deeper cleaning, a mixture of baking soda + vinegar or a little bit of diluted bleach (followed by thorough rinsing) can help remove stains or odors.
Payments
We accept all major payment methods, including:
