  • Built to Last: Exceptionally resistant to chips, scratches, and  stains from daily use.
  • Not for Ovens: Remember these are melamine, so they cannot go in the microwave or oven.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a thriving tearoom in York, was struggling with the high cost and  poor appearance of constantly chipping ceramic saucers. They needed a more durable solution that didn't compromise their classic aesthetic for their popular afternoon tea service.

"We were replacing saucers every month, and  it was becoming a significant, frustrating expense. Since we switched to these Olympia melamine saucers, we haven't had a single breakage. They look just as good, but they are tough enough for our busiest days."

Robert Miller – Proprietor, The Copper Kettle

The switch has reduced their annual tableware replacement budget by over 90% and  improved staff efficiency during clearing and  washing up.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, unpack and  inspect all saucers to ensure they're perfect.
  • Give them a thorough wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher or by hand before first use.
  • Stack them near your beverage station or pass for quick and  easy access during service.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse or wash promptly after use to prevent tea and  coffee tannins from setting.
  • While very scratch-resistant, avoid using serrated knives or abrasive scouring pads on the surface.
  • Always remember: melamine is not suitable for use in any kind of microwave or conventional oven.
  • Stack carefully to ensure stability, though they are very unlikely to break even if they topple.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what fits best? Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right tableware for your business.

Consider Your Customers

Is your setting a fine-dining restaurant or a busy canteen? Melamine is perfect for high-turnover, casual environments where durability is key.

Factor In Replacement Costs

Ceramic and  porcelain look great but chip easily. Melamine can save a fortune in breakage and  replacement costs over its lifetime.

Think About Weight

Lightweight melamine is easier and  safer for staff to carry in large stacks, speeding up clearing and  setup times in busy restaurants.

Check Temperature Ratings

Remember that melamine is not oven or microwave safe. Ensure it fits with your kitchen's workflow before committing to a full set.

Get the Size Right

This 140mm diameter saucer is a standard size for tea and  coffee cups. It's always a good idea to check your cup base diameter to ensure a snug fit.

More Than Just Plastic: The Melamine Advantage

Ever wondered what makes melamine so tough? It’s a world away from the flimsy plastic of a disposable plate. Melamine is a thermoset polymer, which is a fancy way of saying it’s hardened into its final shape using intense heat and  pressure. Think of it like the difference between a soft modelling clay and  a fired ceramic pot. This process creates a dense, strong material with a hard, non-porous surface. That’s the secret behind its incredible resistance to scratches from cutlery, stains from tea, and  shattering when dropped. It gives you the look and  feel of quality ceramic with the resilience of a true catering workhorse.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Cafés: Perfect for serving countless hot drinks without the constant worry and  expense of breakages.
  • School & University Canteens: A safe, durable, and  cost-effective choice for high-volume student dining halls.
  • Hospitals & Care Homes: Lightweight and  shatterproof, ensuring safety for patients, residents, and  busy staff.
  • Workplace Break Rooms: A smart upgrade from mismatched, chipped crockery for a more professional staff area.
