Bombilla Plana – Slim Profile

A streamlined stainless steel bombilla designed for everyday mate. Its slim profile takes up minimal space inside the gourd, creating a cleaner setup and a smoother, more consistent sip.

Slim Profile Design
Designed to sit naturally in the yerba without crowding the gourd. By taking up less space, the Bombilla Plana allows for better water flow and a more comfortable drinking experience across a wide range of mate gourds.

Simple, Reliable Filtration
The slotted filter features multiple slim openings that provide steady airflow and help reduce clogging with traditional Argentine-style yerba mate cuts. No springs, no moving parts, and nothing to adjust.

Easy Add‑On, Easy to Use
Dishwasher safe and made from durable stainless steel, this bombilla is an easy upgrade for any mate setup. Simple to clean, simple to use, and built to last.

Included with all CICLO insulated ceramic mate gourds. Available separately by popular request.

Materials
Crafted from stainless steel for durability, clean flavor, and long-term daily use.

Dimensions
Approximately 6 inches in length. Compact and unobtrusive inside the gourd while remaining versatile across different mate gourd styles.

Filter Style
Slotted filter with four openings designed for consistent flow when drinking traditional Argentine-style yerba mate. Not recommended for very fine, Uruguayan-style yerba. For fine-cut yerba, we recommend using a spoon-style bombilla.

Use and Care
Rinse after use or place directly in the dishwasher. No special care required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bombilla, and how is it used?
A bombilla is a metal straw with a built-in filter, traditionally used for drinking yerba mate. Simply insert the bombilla into the loose leaf tea after preparation and sip. The filter keeps the tea leaves from entering your mouth, giving you a smooth drinking experience.

Which type of bombilla is best for Uruguayan yerba mate?
Spoon bombillas are the best choice for Uruguayan yerba mate due to their slimmer profile and the increased number of pores in the bombilla tip, which allows for optimal filtration of the fine-cut leaves commonly used in Uruguay.

How do I clean the bombilla?
To clean your bombilla, flip it and run water through the filter to push any debris out of the mouth of the bombilla. Each bombilla also comes with a cleaning brush for easy maintenance. Simply insert the brush into the straw to remove any residue. Regular cleaning will help maintain quality and ensure a clean, fresh taste.

Are the bombillas safe to use with hot drinks? Both stainless steel and alpaca silver bombillas are made from heat-resistant materials, ensuring they stay cool to the touch, even when used with hot beverages like yerba mate or other teas.

What makes these bombillas eco-friendly?
These bombillas are reusable, reducing the need for disposable straws or tea bags. By using a stainless steel or alpaca silver bombilla, you contribute to minimizing waste, making it an eco-friendly choice for tea lovers who care about sustainability.

What is the difference between stainless steel and alpaca silver bombillas?
Stainless steel bombillas are known for their durability, rust resistance, and modern, sleek design, making them ideal for everyday use. Alpaca silver bombillas, also known as "German silver," offer a more traditional aesthetic with a unique luster and are often handcrafted, providing a more artisanal experience.

How do I keep my alpaca silver bombilla beautiful? To maintain the shine of your alpaca silver bombilla, you can use a food safe silver polish specifically designed for alpaca or German silver. Apply a small amount of polish to a soft cloth and gently rub the bombilla, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely. Regular polishing will help keep your alpaca silver bombilla looking beautiful and prevent tarnish.

Can I use these bombillas with teas other than yerba mate?
Yes! Both stainless steel and alpaca silver bombillas are versatile and can be used with any loose leaf tea, including green tea, chamomile, and herbal blends. They offer a unique and enjoyable way to drink your favorite teas.
