Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Cobbled Corner, a bustling café in the heart of Frome, Somerset, wanted to upgrade their tableware to better reflect their artisan ethos. They felt their standard white cups were letting down their carefully sourced coffee and  homemade cakes.

"We switched to the Olympia Kiln smoke finish cups and  the reaction was instant. They feel so much more premium and  the unique finish on each one is a real talking point. Our customers absolutely love them and  they look fantastic on our Instagram feed!"

Robert Mills – Owner

The switch resulted in a noticeable increase in social media shares from customers, effectively boosting their online visibility without any extra ad spend.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, give the cups a quick wash to remove any dust from transit.
  • We recommend pairing with a matching 140mm Olympia Kiln saucer for a stable, secure fit.
  • While durable, stack them with care to protect the beautiful hand-finished rims.
  • Check each cup on delivery to ensure they've arrived in perfect condition.

Keeping It Going

  • These cups are fully commercial dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.
  • The vitrified body is non-porous, so it naturally resists staining from tea and  coffee.
  • To maintain the glaze's integrity, avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive chemicals.
  • Being microwave-safe, you can pop them in for a quick reheat whenever necessary.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cups

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

Check the Capacity

An 8oz (230ml) cup is the industry standard for a cappuccino or flat white. Make sure the cup size aligns with your drink recipes and  pricing.

Prioritise Durability

Look for 'vitrified porcelain' that meets BS4034. This means it's built for the demands of a commercial environment, resisting chips and  cracks.

Consider the Style

Your crockery is a key part of your brand's story. A unique design like the Olympia HC390 smoke finish communicates a rustic, quality-focused aesthetic.

Think About Practicality

Features like being dishwasher and  microwave safe are non-negotiable in a busy kitchen. They save valuable time and  effort for your team.

Look for a 'Family' Range

Choosing a cup that's part of a larger collection allows you to build a cohesive and  professional look with matching saucers, bowls, and  teapots.

The Olympia Kiln Advantage: Crafted for Character

Choosing Olympia Kiln is about more than just buying crockery; it's an investment in your business's atmosphere. While the technical specs promise durability, the real value lies in the impression the Olympia HC390 smoke finish cup makes on your customers. In a competitive market, small details create loyalty. This tableware moves beyond function to become a feature, something that feels special in the hand and  looks beautiful on the table. The BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware standard is your assurance of long-term performance, significantly reducing the frequency of replacements due to chips and  cracks compared to standard domestic pottery. This means lower running costs and  a consistently high-quality presentation, day in, day out. It’s a smart, stylish choice that reflects the care and  quality you put into everything you serve.

What Exactly is a 'Reactive Glaze' Finish?

Ever wondered how each cup gets its unique, mottled pattern? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform colour, a reactive glaze contains special elements that react and  transform in the intense heat of the kiln. This process is beautifully unpredictable, creating subtle variations in colour, texture, and  pattern.

Think of it like the unique patterns found in natural stone or wood grain; no two pieces are ever identical. This means your set of commercial cappuccino cup Olympia tableware won't look like a cookie-cutter production line. Instead, you get a collection of individual pieces, each with its own character, giving your service an authentic, handcrafted feel without the fragility or cost of true artisan pottery.
