Full details
The Basilico Insulated Vacuum Jug is for anyone who wants to maintain their beverage's temperature for extended periods, whether at home or on the go. Its key benefit is keeping drinks hot or cold for up to 12 hours thanks to advanced double-wall vacuum insulation. A potential caveat is its 1-litre capacity, which might be insufficient for very large gatherings. This jug excels at preserving the temperature, flavour, and aroma of your favourite drinks, featuring a user-friendly press-and-pour handle and a compact design for easy storage.

FAQs
How long does the insulation last?
The Basilico Insulated Vacuum Jug is designed to keep drinks hot or cold for up to 12 hours.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
No, hand wash only with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Dishwashers can damage the vacuum insulation and exterior finish.
Is the 1-litre capacity suitable for multiple people?
The 1-litre capacity holds approximately five standard cups, which is suitable for 1-2 people or as a supplement for a small group.
Can I use it for milk or dairy products?
While it can keep milk cold, it is recommended to clean the jug thoroughly immediately after use to prevent spoilage and odors.
What should I do if the exterior gets scratched?
Minor scratches may occur with regular use. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials to minimize this. Scratches typically do not affect the insulation performance.
Can I use this jug for boiling water?
The jug is designed for storing already hot or cold beverages. Do not pour boiling water directly into the jug to heat it up. Pre-heat the jug with hot water first.
What is the best way to store the jug when not in use?
Store the jug with the lid off or slightly ajar to allow air circulation and ensure the interior is completely dry, preventing any potential odors.
Troubleshooting
Jug not keeping beverages hot/cold for long.
Ensure the lid is tightly secured. Pre-condition the jug with hot or cold water before filling. Check for any damage to the vacuum seal.
Leaking from the lid or spout.
Check that the lid is properly aligned and tightened. Inspect the rubber gasket on the lid for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Difficulty pressing the pour button.
Ensure the jug is not overfilled. Check for any blockages around the spout mechanism. Rinse the lid assembly with warm water.
Interior has stains or odors.
Hand wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains or odors, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the interior, let sit for 30 minutes, then rinse and wash again.
