Hybrid Pint Glass: use, care & replacement partsUpdated 3 days ago
Is it dishwasher safe?
- Glass insert: Top-rack dishwasher safe.
- Steel base: Hand wash only, with warm water and a gentle detergent. This keeps the base and its finish looking their best.
Can I put it in the freezer?
- Glass insert: Yes! Keep a spare insert in the freezer for an ice-cold pour. Store it where it won't get bumped or jostled (not in the freezer door).
- Steel base: No. The base is double-wall vacuum insulated, and putting it in the refrigerator or freezer can damage the insulation.
Going from freezer to room-temperature drink is no problem. Our glass inserts go through thermal shock testing during quality control: they're placed in boiling water (100°C) and then immediately into cold water without breaking, a far more extreme test than everyday use.
Can I use it for hot drinks?
No. The Hybrid Pint Glass is designed for cold drinks and isn't intended for hot beverages or boiling liquids. The steel base is not microwave safe.
Removing the glass insert
The steel base has a silicone glass lock ring that grips the insert and holds it securely. To remove the insert, gently rock it side to side to release it, rather than twisting it. It's normal for the ring to spin in its groove.
Can I stack the glass inserts?
Yes, the inserts stack just like a traditional pint glass.
About the metal finish
Our colored finishes are applied using physical vapor deposition (PVD), the same food-safe process used on many quality knives and utensils. The finish is durable and scratch-resistant; hand washing the steel base with a gentle detergent helps preserve it.
