Benefits of Copper Cups
- Copper gives water a natural antimicrobial property, which prevents bacterial growth and supports healthier drinking.
- It balances the temperature of the drink; cold beverages stay cool for much longer.
- It supports the immune system, regulates digestion and contributes to mineral balance.
How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dish soap.
- Do not put in the dishwasher.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- After washing, dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not clean with hard sponges.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize; this is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Keeping copper away from moisture can slow down darkening. In case of darkening, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- Depending on use, the interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of the food. Cleaning with baking soda is recommended.
- For long-lasting use, wash your copper products by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent and keep them dry. Do not expose them to very high heat.
Does the Product Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to heat, re-tinning is recommended periodically (on average every 3-5 years).
- For copper products not exposed to heat, re-tinning will not be necessary.
- Since water is not acidic, it does not wear away the tin, so products such as flasks, cups and carafes do not need re-tinning for this reason.
How Do I Know If the Tin Has Worn Off?
The tin coating on the inner surface of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver color on the inner surface has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper is clearly visible, or if patches or peeling have appeared, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning of your product is recommended.
However, it is important to point out the following:
Black spots or dark stains on the inner surface do not mean the tin has worn off. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Properly manufactured and properly used copper products are safe.
Copper is a mineral essential for the human body. Tin-lined copper pots, pans and flasks used in daily life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the inner surface of copper products is tinned; this coating keeps the copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, please note the following:
Acidic foods (such as those with lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for long contact with an untinned copper surface. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In short:
✔️ Tin-lined and properly manufactured copper products are safe.
✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used healthily for many years.
❌ Untinned and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
