FAQs
What material are the Luminarc Nuevo Cups made from?
The Luminarc Nuevo Cups are made from tempered glass, which is known for its increased resistance to breakage and thermal shock compared to standard glass.
Are these cups microwave safe?
No, these cups are not microwave safe. They are designed for hot beverages served directly or heated by a coffee machine.
Can I use these for very hot liquids like boiling water?
Yes, they are suitable for hot beverages. However, avoid pouring boiling water directly into a cold cup or placing a hot cup on a very cold surface, as this can cause thermal shock.
What is the capacity of each cup?
Each Luminarc Nuevo Cup has a capacity of 220ml.
How should I clean the cups if I don't have a dishwasher?
You can easily hand wash them with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or allow to air dry.
What does '6Pc' in the product title mean?
'6Pc' indicates that the product comes as a set of six cups.
Will these cups stain easily?
The clear glass is generally resistant to staining from coffee and tea. Regular cleaning after use will help maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Cup has a small chip or crack.
Inspect the cup carefully. If the damage is minor and does not affect structural integrity, it might still be usable for less critical applications. However, for safety and to prevent further damage, it is best to discard any chipped or cracked glassware.
Cloudiness or residue after washing.
This is often due to hard water mineral deposits or detergent residue. Try washing with a vinegar and water solution (1:1 ratio) or use a rinse aid in your dishwasher. Ensure the cups are thoroughly rinsed.
Glass feels unusually thin or fragile.
While designed for durability, glass can be subject to manufacturing variations. If a cup feels significantly thinner than others in the set, handle it with extra care, especially during washing and drying.
