FAQs
Can I pour boiling water directly into the KINTO Sepia Cup?
Yes, the glass is heat-resistant up to 120 degrees Celsius, making it safe for standard boiling water used in coffee or tea preparation.
Is the cup heavy?
The cup is crafted for everyday use and has a balanced weight that feels substantial but comfortable to hold.
Does the square handle get hot in the microwave?

Is this cup lead-free?
Yes, KINTO products are manufactured to strict safety standards using high-quality materials.
Can I stack these cups?
While the design is compact, they are not specifically designed for stable stacking. It is recommended to store them side-by-side.

Troubleshooting
Stubborn tea or coffee stains inside the cup
Soak the cup in a solution of warm water and baking soda for 30 minutes before cleaning with a soft cloth.
Cloudy spots after dishwasher cycle
Ensure you are using a rinse aid and verify the water temperature is within standard settings to prevent mineral buildup.
Cup feels slippery when wet
Dry the handle thoroughly before use, as the glass surface can become slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the KINTO Sepia Cup is made of glass, no specific 'setup' is required beyond an initial rinse. It is fully compatible with all standard domestic microwave ovens and dishwashers. To preserve the clarity and structural integrity of the amber glass, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh metal utensils inside the cup. If washing by hand, a soft sponge and mild dish soap are sufficient. When using in a dishwasher, it is recommended to place the cup on the top rack, ensuring it is positioned securely so it does not rattle against other items during the wash cycle.
