Product Overview
Here we have the quintessential café companion, the Olympia Whiteware Elegant Cup. It’s the sort of cup you’ve probably enjoyed a lovely flat white from countless times without even realising it. Crafted from high-quality, brilliant white porcelain, it’s designed to be a timeless, reliable piece of kit for any business that takes its hot drinks seriously. It’s the perfect blank canvas for a beautifully made coffee.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Pros: The BS4034 vitrified standard means it's genuinely tough for commercial use.
- Cons: The matching saucers are sold separately, which is an extra consideration.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular tearoom in the heart of York, needed to refresh its tired and chipped crockery to better reflect its high-quality cakes and drinks. They were constantly replacing damaged cups, which was both costly and frustrating.
"We wanted something that looked clean and classic but could survive our busiest weekend services. The Olympia cups have been fantastic. They look smart, they feel solid, and we're not constantly having to re-order to replace breakages. Our staff and customers love them."
Robert Davies – Owner
Since switching to the Olympia CD735 cups six months ago, The Copper Kettle has seen its crockery breakage rate fall by over 70%, significantly reducing replacement costs and ensuring a consistent, professional look for every customer.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and give each cup a quick once-over to check for any damage in transit.
- Run them through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- Stack them neatly on your shelves. Their shape is designed for stability, but avoid creating towers that are too high.
- For a complete set, consider pairing them with the recommended Olympia CD737 saucers.
Keeping It Going
- Rinse cups shortly after use where possible to stop tea and coffee tannins from staining.
- The cups are fully safe for high-temperature commercial dishwashers.
- The strengthened rolled rim is designed to resist chipping, but always handle with care.
- Regularly check your stock and remove any cups with cracks or chips from service to maintain safety and standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these Olympia cups stackable?
A: Yes, absolutely. The shape is designed to allow for safe and stable stacking, which is a real space-saver in a busy kitchen or service area.
Q: What exactly does 'vitrified hotelware' mean?
A: It's a quality standard (BS4034) that guarantees the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, incredibly durable, and resistant to chips and thermal shock.
Q: Can I put these cups in the microwave to heat milk?
A: Yes, they are fully microwave and oven safe, giving you great operational flexibility.
Q: What is the capacity in ounces?
A: The capacity is 230ml, which is approximately 8oz. This is widely considered the perfect size for standard servings of latte, cappuccino, or Americano.
Q: Does this product include the saucer?
A: The matching saucer (our code CD737) is sold separately. This allows you to buy only the items you need, whether it's just cups, saucers, or both.
Q: What are 'strengthened rolled edges'?
A: This means the rim of the cup has been made thicker and rounder. It's a simple design feature that dramatically increases its strength and resistance to chipping from daily use.
Q: Are these cups okay to use in a high-temperature commercial dishwasher?
A: Definitely. They are built to withstand the rigours of commercial washing cycles, including high temperatures and strong detergents, without fading or damage.
Q: Are these the best porcelain coffee cups 230ml for a new cafe?
A: They are an excellent choice for any new or existing establishment due to their combination of classic style, exceptional durability, and great value.

By providing a reliable, professional, and timeless foundation for your beverage service, Olympia lets you focus on what you do best: making fantastic coffee.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
You'll see 'vitrified porcelain' mentioned a lot with commercial crockery, but what is it? Think of it as porcelain that’s been given superpowers. During manufacturing, the cups are fired at an incredibly high temperature (over 1200°C!), which causes the material to become glass-like, or 'vitrified'. This process fuses the particles together, making the cup non-porous.
Why does that matter? A non-porous cup doesn't absorb water, oils, or strong flavours from coffee. This means it's far more hygienic, won't stain over time, and is much stronger and more resistant to chipping than standard ceramic. It’s the key difference between a domestic mug and a cup built to survive a professional kitchen.
