Is an eCoffee Cup dishwasher safe?

Is an eCoffee Cup dishwasher safe?

Yes. The eCoffee Cup 12oz listing at the ethical gift box states the cup is fully dishwasher safe, rated for daily use up to 100C and suitable for microwave reheat at a maximum of 800W for 40 seconds. The two limits, heat and reheat power, are the whole care routine.

What the care instructions say

The eCoffee Cup 12oz product listing sets out four care facts, and together they answer most of what an office or a facilities team needs to know:

• Dishwasher. The cup is listed as fully dishwasher safe, so it goes through a standard dishwasher cycle with the rest of the office crockery.
• Heat. It is suitable for daily usage up to +100C, which covers freshly poured coffee and tea without a cooling wait.
• Microwave. Reheat only, at a maximum of 800W for 40 seconds. A full cooking cycle sits outside that rating.
• Flavour. The listing describes the material as flavour taint free, so a morning coffee does not carry into an afternoon tea.

What the cup is made of

The product description describes a compostable PLA bio polymer made from renewable plant sources including sugar beet, corn and potato starch. The specification block on the same page adds that the cup is BPS and BPA free and complies with food contact regulations including (EC) No. 10/2011. For a buyer, the practical reading is straightforward: the cup handles daily hot drinks and standard cleaning, and the material claims are stated on the listing rather than self certified in a brochure.

Why dishwasher safety matters for corporate gifting

A branded mug that cannot go in the dishwasher becomes a hand wash item, and hand wash items stop being used. For a procurement team, the difference shows up in whether the cup stays on the desk after week one. The dishwasher rating is what turns the cup from a display item into a daily one, and it is the first specification to check on any branded drinkware order. The branded reusable coffee cups comparison sets out the other specifications procurement teams check alongside it, and the best eco-friendly reusable coffee cups for office gifting guide shows how this cup sits against the alternatives.

What this means for a co-branded order

Co-branding is by screen print to the cup, included in the quoted unit price, with a maximum print area of 235mm by 20mm. That is one clean line of artwork, so a short wordmark or a web address sits comfortably and a detailed badge does not. An operations manager at a 40 person accountancy firm who orders the cups as desk mugs makes one decision at quote stage: the single line of artwork. After that the cups go through the office dishwasher with everything else, and the care question never reaches the facilities team.

How a co-branded cup order is priced

The listed price is £7.26 per unit at the 50 unit minimum, with the screen print included in that unit price and set-up costs quoted separately. Production runs 15 working days from artwork approval, then UK delivery is next day and Europe runs 5 to 7 working days. The corporate gift lead times guide works backwards from a delivery date. Quantity is worth quoting honestly: the listed price applies from 50 units, and the quantity table on the product page sets out how the unit figure moves at higher volumes. For smaller runs, what to check on low minimum order corporate gifts covers the trade-offs.
