Product Questions

How can I use my Timolino product?

All Timolino products are created to fit your lifestyle needs. They are designed to be versatile and help make your life more comfortable, wherever you are.

Our vacuum insulated mugs and tumblers can maintain the temperature of any liquid hot or cold. Hot drinks will retain their hot temperatures for up to 12 hours or more, depending on the product. Cold drinks will keep cold for up to 24 hours, depending on the product.

To maximize heat and/or cold retention, we recommend preparing your mug or tumbler first. For hot drinks, fill your mug with boiling hot water and let sit for 5 minutes. Pour water out and fill with your favorite coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. For cold drinks, fill mug/tumbler with cold water and let sit for 5 minutes. Pour water out and fill with your favorite cold drinks.

Many of our products come with infuser baskets or filters that are great for steeping tea or brewing coffee on the go. However, these accessories can easily be removed so you can carry any of your favorite drinks – water, orange juice, wine, beer, etc.

If storing carbonated drinks, refrain from intentional shaking or jostling, as it may cause pressure buildup in your product and the lid may pop off or the contents may spill.

Our products are not designed to store beverages for the long-term. Some alcoholic beverages, juices, or drinks with dairy can release gases that can cause excessive pressure buildup, resulting in leaks, lid failure, and possible injury. Use caution.

Can I travel on an airplane with my Timolino product?

Yes, Timolino products are perfect for traveling! Just make sure to empty the contents before boarding, in accordance with TSA guidelines.

Can I fill my Timolino product with acidic beverages, such as apple juice or orange juice?

Yes, acidic beverages are okay to use with your Timolino! All of our Timolino products (excluding our Tritan bottles/tea makers) are made out of 18/8 food-grade stainless steel inside and out, which prevents them from corroding or damaging the stainless steel.

Can I use my Timolino product for carrying alcohol?

Yes! However, some of our products are not meant for carbonated drinks, so make sure you read the manual before trying. Additionally, you can leave the top off and enjoy your drink that way as well!

Can I put my Timolino in the refrigerator/freezer?

There is no need to put your Timolino product in the refrigerator or freezer. Most of our products are vacuum insulated, so they will keep your drinks cold for up to 12 hours, depending on the product! Placing your Timolino mug in the freezer may damage the mug and will void the warranty.

Are Timolino products microwave safe?

No. You should NEVER place any Timolino product in the microwave under any circumstance. This will damage your mug and the microwave.

Are Timolino products dishwasher safe?

Most Timolino products are NOT dishwasher safe. Putting them in the dishwasher may scratch or chip away the paint, break the vacuum insulation seal, or damage the dishwasher. However, most of our lids are top-rack dishwasher safe. Read the manual before trying to put anything into the dishwasher.

What are your products made out of?

With the exception of our Ingeni Coffee & Tea Maker, all of our products are made out of high-quality 18/8 stainless steel. Our lids are made out of polypropylene plastic with silicone gaskets. All of our materials are food-safe and BPA free.

Our Ingeni is made out of Tritan by Eastman. Tritan is a BPA-free, durable plastic material. For more information on Tritan, check out their website at tritanfromeastman.com.

Are Timolino products stainless steel on the inside?

Yes. We do not use liners on any of our products. All of our stainless steel mugs and tumblers are 18/8 stainless steel inside and out.

Do Timolino products have BPA?

No, all Timolino products are 100% BPA-free.

Are the polypropylene (PP#5) caps safe?

Yes, polypropylene is a safe plastic that is BPA-free.

Where are Timolino products manufactured?

Timolino products are manufactured in our award-winning factory in Suzhou, China.

Why are they manufactured in China?

Unfortunately, there are not enough resources to manufacture in the United States currently. Each Timolino product requires the use of trusted satellite factories that are not available in the US. To manufacture here, we would have to move our current factory as well as our various trusted partners. For now, this is not possible. However, we hope that as the country’s manufacturing industry grows, we will be able to manufacture here.

Finding a factory was a process we took very seriously and we’ve used the help of companies like Jonble, their goal is to help provide companies like us with a Trustworthy Sourcing Agent in China at Your Disposal – Jonble Company made this process a lot easier.

Our factory is family-owned and has been chosen to manufacture product for large companies (like Disney) in the past. Because it’s our own factory, we can ensure that our customers are receiving the best products. We have control over the design process, what materials go into our products, and the finished result. We also ensure that we are using safe and ethical labor practices throughout the entire process.

If you have any questions about the manufacturing process or our factory, please contact our Customer Service at [email protected] or (949) 727-0883.

What is the difference between vacuum insulation, double-wall, and single wall?

Single-wall products – like our hydration bottles – offer no insulation, which means that the temperature of your beverage inside will transfer to the outside. If you put cold water in these, the bottles will get frosty and sweat. You should NOT put hot products in these, as you will get burned.

Double-wall insulated products – or “thermal” mugs – offer limited insulation. This basically means that there will be some transfer of temperature from the inside, but not as much as single-wall products. You can use these for hot or cold drinks, although you may feel some transfer on the outside. These will not retain heat or cold for very long.

Vacuum insulated products offer the best insulation. Vacuum insulated products are made with two layers of our 18/8 stainless steel, but between the two layers is a vacuum. This vacuum stops the transfer of heat or cold from leaving the inside, thus resulting in keeping hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours and cold drinks cold for 12+ hours, depending on the product.

If you have anymore questions about our insulated and non-insulated products, please contact our Customer Service at [email protected] or (949) 727-0883.

Are Timolino products spill resistant?

We offer a variety of products, some of which are spill resistant, leak proof, spill proof, or all three. This information can usually be found on the product page. If you cannot find this information for a specific product, please contact our Customer Service at [email protected] or (949) 727-0883.


Replacement Lids

Are your lids interchangeable?

Some of the lids that we carry are compatible with different mugs. Usually, this will be pointed out in the description of the item. If it’s unclear or if you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service at [email protected] or (949) 215-5881.

Where do I get replacement parts?

Replacement lids are available through our website. Unfortunately, we cannot replace specific parts of lids, such as gaskets. If you have any questions about our products or parts, please contact our Customer Service at [email protected] or (949) 215-5881.

I don’t see the replacement lid I need on your website. Where else can I find it?

If you cannot find the replacement lid or part on our website, it may mean that the item has been discontinued or it is currently not available. If you have questions, please contact our Customer Service at [email protected] or (949) 215-5881.


Care & Use

What is the best way to wash my Timolino product?

All stainless steel products are easy to clean. Wipe down the inside and outside of your Timolino container with hot, soapy water and a gentle sponge. DO NOT put your vacuum insulated products in the dishwasher. The heat of the dishwasher will break the vacuum seal, causing the bottle to lose its insulation, no longer allowing it to retain the content’s temperature and the warranty will be voided.

How do I clean the lid?

Lids and other plastic accessories (like straws) can be placed on the top rack in the dishwasher. However, to keep your lids and accessories safe from too much wear and tear, we recommend hand washing.
