Why isn’t my Frank Green straw working?
This is a common question and one that is easily solved. You have to push the mouthpiece all the way back until it clicks into place. This can be a little difficult with new products, but with regular use, it will become much easier!
Ensure that your straw is securely attached to the silicone tube on the underside of the lid. The straw is removable for thorough cleaning and if it has become loose can cause poor suction.

Can you put hot water in your Frank Green?
Absolutely. Frank Green cups are vacuum -sealed and keep your drinks hot for longer than a regular cup would. If you want to get the most out of your hot beverage, don’t open the lid unless you’re drinking from it.
How long will my Frank Green Bottle stay cold for?
The Frank Green cups and bottle have double-walled thermal insulation, which retains heat or keeps liquids cold for up to 12 hours. Soooo handy!!!
Why does my Frank Green cup smell?
Over time all plastic products can become porous so you may notice a slight smell of what you usually drink from your Frank Green. Ceramic lining can have a peculiar smell, when you are unaccustomed to it, this is completely normal and does not affect the flavour of your beverage.
For any stains or smells, in addition to regular cleaning, it's recommended to soak your cup or bottle overnight in bi-carb soda and a little vinegar mixed with some warm water.
Why is my Frank Green leaking?
This may be due to a few reasons, here is what to look out for-
1.You may have overfilled the max fill line.
2. Your hot beverage has created steam and pressure within your button lid cup.
3. A fixture in the lid may be loose within your button lid cup.
4.The straw isn’t properly fitted within your straw lid cup.
How do I clean my Frank Green bottle? Can Frank Green go in the dishwasher?
Certain parts of Frank Green bottles and cups can be put in the dishwasher and some need to be washed by hand. Here is a list of what can and can't be put in the dishwasher -
Original Cup: Put the whole thing in the dishwasher.
Stainless Steel Cup: Lid in the dishwasher, wash cup by hand. Simply pop the lid into the open position, upside down on the top shelf of your dishwasher. This is important to protect the lid, otherwise, the pressure can build up and damage the seal!
Ceramic Cup: Lid in the dishwasher, wash cup by hand.
Straws & Lid Buttons: Both can go in the dishwasher or use a reusable straw cleaning brush. Simply wash the parts in warm soapy water and give them a thorough scrub with the brush.
Are Frank Green Cups leak proof and spill proof?
Yes, the Frank Green award-winning lid design is constructed to be leak and spill-proof. It does require some disassembly to clean at times so make sure you've put it back together properly and test it afterwards.
What is the difference between the Original Cup and the Ceramic Cup?
The Original cup is how it all started for Frank Green. The multi-award-winning original reusable cup is made from quality materials, with a stain & odour resistant inner lining & a smart double-walled thermo outer layer that keeps your drink hotter or colder for longer than a single-use cup will.
The Original Cup is incredibly durable and long-lasting, meaning it can easily withstand the rough & tumble. The non-slip grip feels great in your hands, it comes with Frank Green's patented push-button lid that won't spill, & it's 100% dishwasher safe.
The Ceramic Cup will retain your drinks temperature for hours (and hours!). It is the ultimate reusable cup. It looks beautiful, maintains the liquid temperature you desire for hours and tastes the way your barista intended. It has a ceramic outer and a stainless steel inner.
