  • Top-Tier Durability: Virtually indestructible in normal use, making them fantastically cost-effective long-term.
  • Not CE Marked: Unsuitable for serving legally measured spirits without separate measurement first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a bustling tearoom in York, was struggling with constant glassware breakages during their busy lunch service, leading to high replacement costs and  service interruptions. They switched to the Duralex GG900 tumblers for their table water and  juices.

"We were getting through a box of cheap glasses every month. Since we switched to the Duralex Picardie tumblers six months ago, we haven't lost a single one to breakage. They look smart and  our staff feel more confident carrying them. It's a small change that has made a big financial difference."

Robert Hughes – Owner, The Copper Kettle

The switch resulted in a 95% reduction in glassware replacement costs within the first six months and  improved service efficiency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wash glasses thoroughly before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
  • Inspect each glass upon unboxing to ensure there are no hairline cracks or 'dings' from shipping.
  • Pre-heat the glasses slightly with warm water before filling with very hot beverages for the first time.

Keeping It Going

  • To avoid clouding, use a good quality rinse aid in your commercial glasswasher.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface over time.
  • Stack carefully – while durable, dropping a whole stack can still cause breakages!
  • Allow glasses to cool before stacking them after a hot wash cycle to prevent them binding together.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Glassware

Not sure what fits best? Glassware is a key part of your tabletop presentation and  service efficiency. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right commercial glass tumblers for your business.

Material Matters

Toughened or tempered glass, like Duralex, is the standard for high-volume venues due to its durability. It costs more initially but saves a fortune in replacement costs down the line.

Capacity is Key

Think about your primary use. A 90ml tumbler is perfect for espressos, shots, or small juices. For table water or soft drinks, you'll likely want to look at larger sizes like 250ml or 330ml.

Stackability for Storage

In a busy bar or kitchen, space is gold. Glasses with a tapered or faceted design, like these Picardie tumblers, are designed to stack securely, maximising your storage space.

Check for Markings

If you're serving measured drinks like wine or spirits, you'll need CE-marked glassware to comply with UK law. For water, juice, or coffee, this isn't necessary.

Ease of Cleaning

Always check that your chosen glassware is certified as commercial glasswasher safe. This ensures it can withstand the high temperatures and  detergents used in professional kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the Duralex Picardie 90ml glass tumblers stackable?

A: Yes, their iconic faceted and  tapered design allows them to be stacked securely, which is a great space-saver in a commercial environment.

Q: Can I use these for hot drinks like espresso?

A: Absolutely. They are made from tempered glass, which is highly resistant to thermal shock, making them perfect for serving hot espresso shots or other hot beverages.

Q: What is the main difference between these and  regular glasses?

A: Duralex glasses are made from toughened tempered glass, making them over twice as strong as standard glass. They resist chipping and  breaking and, if they do break, shatter into safe, blunt pieces.

Q: Is the 90ml capacity measured to the brim?

A: Yes, the 90ml (or 3.1oz) capacity is the total volume of the glass when filled to the very top.

Q: Why aren't these glasses CE marked?

A: CE marking is required for glasses used to serve specific legal measures of alcohol (like pints, or 125/175ml wine measures). As these are 90ml, they are intended for non-prescribed measures like water, juice, or shots where a CE mark isn't needed.

Q: How can I prevent the glasses from going cloudy over time?

A: Cloudiness is usually caused by hard water deposits. Using a high-quality glasswasher detergent and  rinse aid is the best way to keep your tumblers sparkling clean.

Q: Are these suitable for serving spirits like whisky?

A: Yes, they are an excellent choice for serving neat spirits, making them a popular 'taster' or 'dram' glass in many pubs and  bars.

Q: Can the tumblers go in the freezer?

A: Yes, their tempered construction means they can safely be chilled in the freezer before serving cold drinks.

What Customers Are Saying

"These are the original and  best. We use them for water glasses in our café. You can drop them and  they just bounce. An absolute essential for any busy food business."

Sarah Jones – Café Owner, Manchester

"Brilliant, tough little glasses. Perfect for welcome drinks at our guesthouse. My only slight note is to check the 90ml size is what you need - they are small, but perfect for us!"

Ben Carter – Guesthouse Host, The Lake District

"We use these Duralex GG900 tumblers for serving sherry and  port. They look classic, feel great in the hand and  stand up to our commercial glasswasher without a hint of clouding."

The Duralex Picardie: An Icon of Everyday Reliability

Choosing Duralex isn't just about buying glassware; it's about investing in peace of mind. For over 70 years, the Picardie tumbler, born in the heart of France, has been the unsung hero of cafes, schools, and  restaurants around the globe. Its design is so iconic it’s even featured in museums, yet it remains fundamentally a tool for daily work. This history translates into profound trust. When you choose Duralex, you're choosing a product honed by decades of real-world use. The long-term value goes beyond simple durability; it’s about operational consistency. It means fewer interruptions from breakages, safer clean-ups for your staff, and  a consistently professional look on your tables. In a business where small efficiencies add up, relying on a product with a proven legacy of toughness and  timeless style is one of the smartest decisions you can make.

What Does 'Toughened Glass' Actually Mean for Your Business?

Ever wondered what makes 'toughened' or 'tempered' glass so special? It’s not just slightly thicker glass; it's a clever bit of science. Duralex heats the glass to around 650°C until it’s almost molten, then blasts it with cold air. This process, called tempering, cools the outer surface much faster than the inside. Think of it like a coiled spring: the outside of the glass is in a state of high compression, while the inside is in tension. This structure makes the glass incredibly resistant to mechanical shocks (like being dropped) and  thermal shocks (like having a hot espresso poured in). And if it ever does break under extreme force, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt-edged pieces, which is far safer for your staff and  customers than the sharp shards from a normal glass.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafés: An ideal and  durable vessel for serving water alongside coffees or for single espressos.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: The perfect, hard-wearing choice for table water, small juices, or children's drinks.
  • Whisky Bars & Pubs: A classic and  robust option for serving neat spirits, tasters, or whisky flights.
  • Canteens & Institutions: A safe, virtually unbreakable tumbler that can withstand the demands of daily institutional use.
