Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Mondello bottle keep drinks cold?

The Mondello bottle keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours thanks to double-wall vacuum insulation. This means water filled from the fridge in the morning will still be cold and refreshing by the evening, even in warm conditions.

How long does the Mondello bottle keep drinks hot?

The Mondello bottle keeps hot drinks warm for up to 12 hours. It's suitable for tea, coffee, and hot water — making it a versatile bottle for both cold and hot beverages throughout the day.

Is the Mondello bottle BPA free?

Yes — the Mondello bottle is completely BPA-free and toxin-free throughout, including the lid and seals, not just the bottle body. It's made from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, the same material used in professional kitchens and medical equipment.

Is the Mondello bottle dishwasher safe?

We recommend hand washing the Mondello bottle to preserve the vacuum seal and insulation performance. Dishwashers can degrade the seal over time, reducing cold retention. Simply rinse with warm soapy water and a bottle brush — it takes less than a minute.

Does the Mondello bottle sweat or condensate on the outside?

No — the Mondello bottle features Stay Dry Technology which means the exterior stays completely dry regardless of how cold the contents are. No wet hands, no water rings on your desk, and no damp gym bag.

What sizes does the Mondello bottle come in?

The Mondello bottle is available in two sizes — 500ml and 750ml. The 500ml is ideal for commuting, desk use, and shorter workouts. The 750ml is better suited to gym sessions, full workdays, hiking, and anyone who wants to reduce how often they refill.

What colours does the Mondello bottle come in?

The Mondello bottle is available in seven Italian-inspired colourways — Gialla (Yellow), Blu Marina (Navy), Rosa (Pink), Azzuro (Light Blue), Nera (Black), Verde (Green), and Viola (Purple). Each colour is named after Italian shades reflecting the design inspiration of Mondello Beach in Palermo, Sicily.

Is the Mondello bottle leak proof?

Yes — the Mondello bottle has a secure leak-proof seal designed for everyday use. It can be carried upside down in a gym bag or work bag without leaking. We recommend ensuring the lid is fully closed before placing it in a bag.

What is the Mondello bottle made from?

The Mondello bottle is made from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel — also known as 304 stainless steel. This grade contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it corrosion-resistant, food-safe, and completely free from BPA and other harmful compounds. The finish is laser engraved rather than painted, meaning it never chips or fades.
