1. Introduction
My Zojirushi travel mug is with me every day — on commutes, hikes, and in the office. It’s more than just a cup — it’s a part of my daily rhythm. So, when the lid didn’t seal properly one day, I wasn’t panicked. I took a photo of the model number on the bottom, sent it to support, and within a few days, my mug was back in action. That moment reminded me: we don’t need to throw things away when they stop working, especially not something designed to last.
2. Why This Matters / Pain Points
Let’s face it — how many of us have thrown away perfectly good items just because one small part was missing?
- Lost your mug lid?
- A rubber gasket cracked after years of use?
- Your toddler chewed through the straw?
- The seal feels loose or starts leaking?
These aren’t reasons to give up on your favourite reusable coffee cup. With Zojirushi, fixing is part of the experience. In a world where disposable culture still dominates, every small repair makes a big difference.
3. Key Specs / Core Factors
Zojirushi mugs, bottles, and jars are engineered for long life:
- Vacuum insulated: keeps drinks hot or cold for up to 12 hours
- BPA-free materials: safe for kids and adults alike
- Replaceable parts: gaskets, lids, straws, and stoppers are available
- Built to last: Japanese precision and materials designed for durability
When a product is built to last, repair becomes an essential part of ownership.
4. Methods / Tools / Approach
Here’s how simple it is to fix your Zojirushi:
- Look under your mug or bottle — you’ll find a model number like SM-SE36.
- Take a photo of that number.
- Email or message us with the photo and let us know what’s broken or missing — lid, seal, straw, etc.
That’s it. You don’t need to know part numbers, search manuals, or browse a catalogue. We’ll match your model to the exact part and get back to you with availability and delivery options (usually next-day in Ireland!).
5. Safety & Best Practices
Using damaged lids or missing gaskets might lead to leaks or reduce thermal performance. More importantly, proper seals are essential for hygiene and temperature control.
When you replace worn-out parts, you’re not just extending the life of your mug — you’re also keeping your drinks safe, hot (or cold), and spill-free.
And remember — all Zojirushi parts are BPA-free, food-safe, and certified to meet global safety standards. Why BPA-Free Matters →
