Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Corner Perk," a bustling coffee spot in Bristol, needed to refresh its tableware. Their old white cups were constantly getting chipped and  looked tired, failing to match their vibrant, modern interior.

"We switched to the Olympia red espresso cups and  the impact was immediate. They're incredibly tough, and  the colour just pops. Customers have even commented on how lovely they are. It’s a small touch that has really lifted our presentation."

Ben Carter – Owner, The Corner Perk

After making the switch, the café reported a significant drop in breakages and  replacement costs during their first three months of use.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each cup for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give all cups a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue.
  • If pairing with saucers, check for a snug, stable fit to prevent spills and  accidents during service.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent thermal shock, avoid pouring boiling liquid into a cup that is very cold, or vice-versa.
  • When loading into a dishwasher, ensure cups are not knocking against each other to preserve the glaze.
  • Regularly check for any fine-line cracks or chips; while durable, any damaged item should be retired from service.
  • The fully vitrified stoneware resists stains, but a regular wash cycle will keep them looking their best.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Espresso Cups

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect cups for your business.

Material Matters

Stoneware, like this cup, offers fantastic durability and  heat retention, keeping espresso hot for longer. It's a great all-rounder for busy environments.

Size is Key

A 90-100ml cup is the professional standard for a single or double espresso, allowing just enough room for a perfect crema without looking empty.

Look for Durability Features

Features like rolled edges and  a vitrified body aren't just jargon. They translate directly to fewer chips and  a longer life, saving you money.

Colour and  Branding

Don't underestimate colour! A vibrant cup can enhance your brand's aesthetic and  make your coffee service more memorable for customers.

Check Saucer Compatibility

Always check which saucers fit your chosen cup. A mismatched set can look unprofessional and  be unstable to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these cups stackable?

A: Yes, they are designed to be stacked for convenient and  space-saving storage in a commercial kitchen.

Q: What is the exact capacity?

A: The total capacity is 100ml (or 3.5oz), which is ideal for serving single or double espresso shots.

Q: Can I put these in a commercial plate warmer?

A: Absolutely. They are made from stoneware and  are oven safe, so they handle the heat of a plate or cup warmer perfectly.

Q: Does the red colour fade or scratch off over time?

A: The colour is part of the durable glaze. With normal commercial use and  washing, it is highly resistant to fading or scratching.

Q: What are the best saucers for the Olympia GK070 espresso cup?

A: These cups are designed to fit Olympia saucers GL463, GK085, GK086, GK087, and  HC406 for a stable, professional pairing.

Q: Are they sold individually?

A: No, these are supplied in a box of 12, which is ideal for outfitting a commercial establishment and  ensuring you have spares.

Q: Is stoneware heavy?

A: Stoneware has a satisfying, durable weight but is not overly heavy. It feels substantial and  high-quality in the hand.

Q: What does 'fully vitrified' mean?

A: It means the stoneware has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous. This prevents it from absorbing water, flavours, or odours and  makes it more hygienic and  durable.

Why Soft Rolled Edges Mean Fewer Replacements

Ever wondered why some cups chip so easily? It often comes down to the rim. The 'soft rolled edge' on this Olympia GK070 espresso cup is a subtle but brilliant piece of design. Think of it like the rounded corners on a smartphone or a table – there are no sharp, vulnerable angles. In a busy cafe, cups get knocked against portafilters, stacked quickly, and  rattled in dishwashers. A standard, sharp edge is a weak point, prone to chipping. The rolled edge, however, deflects these minor impacts, distributing the force. It's a tiny detail that drastically improves durability, meaning you spend less time and  money replacing damaged stock and  more time serving perfect coffee.
