You can't go wrong with Olympia. In the world of coffee service, these cups are the equivalent of a perfectly pulled espresso – consistent, reliable, and  foundational.

  • Pros: Excellent heat retention keeps coffee at the ideal temperature.
  • Cons: The classic design might be too simple for highly stylised cafes.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a busy café near the Shambles in York, was struggling with constant breakages and  chips in their mismatched collection of high-street coffee cups. They needed a uniform, professional, and  far more durable solution to keep up with their relentless pace, especially during tourist season.

“We were getting through so many cups it was becoming a false economy. The Olympia whiteware is in a different league. They look smart, they feel solid, and  they just last. Our replacement costs have plummeted, and  the staff love how easy they are to clean and  handle.”

Robert Hughes – Owner, The Copper Kettle

Since switching to the Olympia CB469 cups six months ago, The Copper Kettle has reduced their crockery replacement budget by over 70%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give all cups a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle to remove any dust from manufacturing and  transit.
  • Check each cup for any imperfections or transit damage upon unboxing.
  • Designate a clean, dry, and  sturdy shelf for storage, ideally close to your coffee machine for an efficient workflow.
  • If you've also purchased the matching CB470 saucers, stack them separately to prevent scratching or chipping.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse cups immediately after use to prevent coffee oils and  milk residue from drying on.
  • When loading into a dishwasher, ensure cups aren't knocking against each other to maximise their lifespan.
  • Although tough, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals which can damage the glaze over time.
  • Regularly check the rolled edges for any small chips – it's best to retire a chipped cup from service for safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Coffee Cups

Not sure which cups are right for your business? Here are a few things to keep in mind to help you choose the perfect whiteware cappuccino cups for your café or restaurant.

Consider the Size

A 7-8oz (200-240ml) cup is the classic size for cappuccinos and  flat whites. Smaller 3oz cups suit espressos, while larger 10-12oz sizes are for lattes. Match the cup to your menu.

Material Matters

Porcelain is the professional's choice. It's less porous than ceramic, offering superior heat retention and  durability. A 'vitrified' body means it's even tougher and  more stain-resistant.

Think About Durability

Look for features like 'strengthened' or 'rolled' edges. This small detail dramatically reduces the chance of chipping during busy service, washing, and  stacking, saving you money long-term.

Style and  Colour

White is a timeless classic for a reason. It showcases the rich colour of your coffee beautifully and  fits seamlessly into any decor. It's clean, professional, and  never goes out of style.

Stackability is Key

In a commercial space, storage is always at a premium. Check if the cups are designed to be stacked. A good, stable stack saves precious counter and  shelf space.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Cafe?

Ever noticed how some cups stain easily or feel porous? That's because they aren't 'vitrified'. Think of it like this: standard ceramic is like a sponge, full of tiny invisible holes that can absorb moisture, odours, and  stains. Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, effectively melting the clay into a glass-like state. This seals all those tiny holes.

The result? A cup that's incredibly strong, non-porous, and  far more hygienic. It won't absorb old coffee flavours, it's much more resistant to chipping, and  it holds heat far more effectively. So when you see 'fully vitrified', it's not just jargon – it's your guarantee of a tougher, cleaner, and  better-performing cup that's built for professional life.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Coffee Shops: For serving consistently high-quality cappuccinos and  flat whites in durable, professional-grade cups.
  • Hotels & B&Bs: Ideal for breakfast service and  in-room coffee stations, offering a clean look and  robust build.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A reliable choice for after-dinner coffees, easily matching any existing whiteware tableware collection.
  • Office Canteens: A smart upgrade from standard mugs, providing a professional feel that's tough enough for daily use.
