Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Teaspoon, a bustling café in Bath, was looking to replace its tired, chipped espresso cups with something more stylish and  resilient. They needed a cup that could handle hundreds of cycles through the dishwasher each week while still looking pristine for their discerning clientele.

"We were getting so many compliments on the new cups from the moment we put them into service. Customers notice the little details. But for me, the best part is how well they've held up. Our previous cups would chip constantly, but these are in a different league entirely."

Samuel Jones – Owner, The Gilded Teaspoon

After three months of use, the café reported a 90% reduction in breakages and  chipping, significantly lowering their annual crockery replacement costs.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, inspect all cups for any transit damage.
  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before first use to remove any dust.
  • If stacking, ensure shelves are clean and  stable.

Keeping It Going

  • These cups are fully dishwasher safe; use a professional-grade detergent for best results.
  • To avoid 'scuffing', try not to slide cups against each other when stacking or clearing.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, and  remove any damaged items from service.
  • The Eco-glaze resists stains, but a pre-rinse can help prevent any stubborn coffee residue build-up.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Espresso Cup

Not sure what fits best? Choosing the right cup can make all the difference. Here are a few things to consider when you're buying for a professional setting.

Material Matters

Porcelain is the professional's choice. It's fired at a higher temperature than ceramic, making it far more durable, less porous, and  resistant to chipping – essential for a busy environment.

Size and  Shape

A 3-4oz cup is standard for espresso as it retains heat well and  is the right volume for single or double shots. A tapered shape helps concentrate the coffee's aroma.

Stackability is Key

In a commercial kitchen, space is always at a premium. Look for cups with a design that allows them to be stacked securely without wobbling or damaging the rims.

Durability and  Glaze

A high-quality glaze doesn't just look good; it protects the cup from stains and  scratches. A durable, fully vitrified body will withstand the rigours of daily use and  industrial dishwashing.

Aesthetics and  Brand

Your cups are part of your brand experience. Choose a style that complements your decor and  the image you want to project, whether it's classic white or something more contemporary like this eco-friendly espresso cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these cups microwave safe?

A: Yes, Churchill's super vitrified porcelain is designed to be safe for use in a commercial microwave for reheating purposes.

Q: Does the price include the saucer?

A: No, this product page is for the DK407 espresso cup only. The matching saucer, model DK439, is available to purchase separately.

Q: What does 'Super Vitrified' mean?

A: It's a process where the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, stronger, and  more resistant to thermal shock (sudden temperature changes).

Q: Will the bamboo pattern wear off over time?

A: No, the pattern is embossed into the porcelain itself and  sealed under the tough Eco glaze, so it will not fade or wear off.

Q: Are these cups heavy?

A: They have a reassuring weight that speaks to their quality and  durability, but they are not overly heavy and  are well-balanced for customer comfort.

Q: Do they stain easily from dark coffee?

A: The high-quality Eco glaze provides excellent resistance to staining from coffee and  tea, and  they clean very easily in a dishwasher.

Q: What is the benefit of the white colour?

A: A bright white interior provides a brilliant contrast that showcases the rich colour and  crema of your espresso, enhancing the visual appeal.

Q: How well do these cups retain heat?

A: Porcelain has excellent heat retention properties, ensuring your customer's espresso stays at an optimal temperature for longer.

What Customers Are Saying

"Absolutely beautiful cups. They feel sturdy and  the bamboo design is a lovely, subtle touch. Our customers have commented on them several times!"

Ben Carter – Food & Beverage Manager, The Windsor Arms, Stratford-upon-Avon

What Makes Churchill's Eco Glaze So Special?

You might see 'Eco Glaze' and  wonder what it really means for your business. Think of it like a high-performance shield for your crockery. Churchill has engineered this glaze to be exceptionally hard and  non-porous. In simple terms, this means it's much better at resisting the scratches from cutlery and  the stains from strong coffees or teas. Unlike standard glazes that can dull or craze over time, the Eco Glaze maintains its brilliant white finish for longer, keeping your cups looking box-fresh even after hundreds of dishwasher cycles. It's a small detail that delivers long-term value by extending the life of your tableware.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Speciality Coffee Shops: Perfect for showcasing artisan espresso blends with a cup that reflects quality and  attention to detail.
  • Boutique Hotels: Ideal for elevating the in-room coffee experience or for use in the hotel's bistro and  breakfast service.
