Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular artisan bakery in York, was looking to upgrade its mismatched crockery to something that reflected the quality of its handcrafted pastries. They needed something stylish but tough enough for hundreds of customers a day.
"We chose the full Olympia Kiln range, including these saucers. Our coffee presentation now looks as good as our cakes taste. Customers have even commented on how lovely the crockery is, and the pieces are holding up brilliantly to our commercial dishwasher – no chips in sight!"
Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The switch resulted in a marked increase in positive customer comments on presentation and a significant reduction in replacement costs due to breakages.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the saucers a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Check each piece on arrival to appreciate its unique finish and ensure it meets your standards.
- Find a suitable, sturdy shelf for storage that is close to your coffee machine or washing area for efficiency.
Keeping It Going
- These saucers are fully dishwasher safe, so use a commercial dishwasher for the best results.
- To prevent scratches, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh metal cutlery to scrape them.
- Stack them carefully, making sure not to overload the stacks, which helps protect the hand-painted rims over time.
- Regularly check for any damage, though with the lifetime edge-chip warranty, you're well covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these saucers dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed for commercial dishwashers, making cleanup quick and easy.
Q: Will the Olympia GP329 kiln saucer fit other brands of espresso cups?
A: They are specifically designed to fit Olympia Kiln 85ml espresso cups (GP328, GP344, GP360, GP476) for a perfect match. The inner well diameter is 39mm, so you can measure your existing cups to check for a potential fit.
Q: What does 'reactive glaze' mean?
A: It's a special glaze that reacts to the heat of the kiln, creating a unique pattern and colour on every single piece. This gives the collection its signature handcrafted, rustic look.
Q: Does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover all types of damage?
A: The warranty specifically covers chipping on the edge of the saucer during normal food service use. It's a testament to the product's durability.
Q: Can I use these in the microwave?
A: Yes, they are suitable for microwave use, which is handy for any professional kitchen.
Q: Are all the saucers in a box identical?
A: No. Due to the reactive glaze, each piece has a slightly different, unique finish, which is a key feature of the Kiln collection's charm.
Q: What are they made from?
A: They are made from high-quality vitrified porcelain, which is known for its exceptional strength and longevity in commercial environments.
Q: What does conforming to BS4034 mean?
A: BS4034 is the British Hotelware Standard. It certifies that the crockery has low water absorption and high resistance to chipping and crazing, making it suitable for professional catering.
The Olympia Kiln Promise: Handcrafted Charm, Built to Last
Choosing Olympia Kiln isn't just about buying crockery; it's an investment in your customer's experience. In a competitive market, small details make a big difference, and the authentic, earthy feel of the Kiln collection sets a memorable tone from the moment the coffee arrives. While the unique reactive glaze provides undeniable visual appeal, the real long-term value lies in its hidden strength. Each Olympia GP329 espresso saucer is built to the BS4034 vitrified hotelware standard, a benchmark for toughness that ensures it can withstand the relentless cycle of service, washing, and stacking. This dramatically reduces your long-term replacement costs from chips and breakages, while the timeless design ensures your tableware won't look dated in a year. It's the perfect fusion of front-of-house beauty and back-of-house brawn.
Explore more from Olympia KilnThe Magic of Reactive Glaze: Why Every Piece is Unique
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? Think of it like a little bit of chemistry magic happening in the kiln. Unlike a standard, uniform glaze, a reactive glaze contains special elements that transform and shift when fired at high temperatures. This process creates subtle, beautiful variations in colour, pattern, and texture across the surface of the saucer.
The result is that no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Each sandstone finish espresso cup saucer has its own unique, organic pattern. It’s this quality that gives the Olympia Kiln collection its distinctive, handcrafted character, making it look far more expensive and artisanal than mass-produced crockery. It’s an easy way to add a layer of authenticity to your table setting.
