Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A bustling Italian delicatessen in Reading, 'Nonna's Pantry', was looking to refresh their coffee service. Their old white crockery was tired and  constantly chipping, which didn't reflect the quality of their authentic Italian coffee.

"We were forever throwing away chipped saucers. Switching to the Olympia black porcelain espresso saucers has made a huge difference. They look incredibly smart against our dark wood tables, and  they are so much tougher. Our customers have noticed, and  our staff appreciate the durability."

Marco Bianchi – Proprietor, Nonna's Pantry

The switch resulted in crockery replacement costs dropping by an estimated 25% in the first six months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, it's always best to wash the saucers in warm, soapy water or run them through a full dishwasher cycle.
  • Give each saucer a quick check for any damage that might have occurred during shipping.
  • Stack them carefully in your storage area. For high stacks, placing a felt divider between every dozen can help protect the glaze long-term.

Keeping It Going

  • These saucers are designed for commercial dishwashers, so use them with confidence for the most hygienic clean.
  • Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or serrated knives directly on the surface to prevent scratching the smart black glaze.
  • Regularly check for any deep chips or cracks. While very tough, damaged crockery should be retired from service to ensure customer safety.
  • To remove any stubborn coffee rings, a soak in a porcelain-safe cleaning solution will lift them right off.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Saucers

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the right crockery.

Consider Your Customers

For a high-volume coffee shop, durability is paramount. Fully vitrified porcelain is a non-negotiable to minimise chips and  costly replacements.

Match Your Brand

The colour of your tableware is part of your brand's story. Black offers a premium, modern feel, while traditional white is a versatile classic.

Check the Fit

A good saucer should have a defined 'well' or indent to stop the cup from sliding. Always check that the saucer diameter complements your cup size.

Think About Space

Crockery that stacks neatly and  securely is a blessing in a busy kitchen. This saves precious shelf space and  reduces the risk of accidents.

Look for a 'Family' Range

Choosing a brand like Olympia means you can easily find matching cups, mugs, plates, and  bowls to build a consistent, professional look across your service.

The Secret to Crockery that Lasts: What is 'Fully Vitrified'?

Ever wondered why some plates chip if you just look at them funny, while others seem indestructible? The answer is often vitrification. When porcelain is 'fully vitrified', it means it has been fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay particles to fuse together and  become glass-like and  non-porous. Think of it like turning a dry sponge into a solid, waterproof pebble. This process means the saucer won't absorb water, odours, or flavours, and  it's incredibly resistant to the 'thermal shock' of going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf. It’s this industrial process that gives the Olympia CU955 saucer its superior strength for the daily grind.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Coffee Shops: Ideal for creating a signature, modern look for your espresso service that stands out.
  • Fine Dining Restaurants: The perfect, elegant black cafe saucer for serving refined after-dinner coffees and  petit fours.
  • Boutique Hotels: A great choice for in-room coffee makers or for a sophisticated breakfast service.
  • Event & Function Venues: A durable, stackable, and  stylish option for high-volume coffee stations at weddings and  conferences.
