How to Swap to Non-Toxic coffee mugs:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic coffee mugs:
What to know about coffee mugs
The material your mug is made of matters because it's in direct contact with hot liquid you drink from every day. Heat can cause certain materials to release unwanted substances into your beverage, so Welpr focuses on what the mug is made of and how it's finished.
- Mugs made from glass, ceramic, stoneware, or stainless steel are among the safest options for hot drinks.
- Painted, glazed, or decorated mugs may contain lead or cadmium, especially older or handmade pieces — the glaze is what matters most.
Review the mugs you already use
Take a look at the mugs in your cabinet and focus first on the ones you reach for every morning. Check the bottom or packaging for any material information, and note whether the mug has a colored glaze, painted design, or plastic components.
- If a mug came with a Prop 65 warning or has no material details available, consider prioritizing it for replacement.
- For travel mugs, check whether the lid or interior lining is plastic — especially if it touches your drink.
Use your current mugs more safely
If you're not ready to replace a mug right away, a few simple habits can reduce what ends up in your drink. This is especially worth doing for mugs with worn glazes, chipped surfaces, or plastic parts.
- Avoid using mugs with cracked, chipped, or visibly worn glazes for hot beverages, since damaged surfaces are more likely to leach.
- If your mug has any decorative coating or metallic detailing inside the cup, avoid using it for very hot drinks and reserve it for occasional use.
Choose cleaner replacements
Look for mugs made from simple, non-reactive materials like plain glass, stainless steel, or ceramic and stoneware that has been tested free of lead and cadmium.
- Avoid decorative glazes that haven’t been tested for heavy metals, and skip plastic entirely.
