  • Top-Tier Aesthetics: The unique glaze and  hand-painted rim offer a genuinely bespoke feel.
  • Stacking Caution: While durable, they aren't designed for high stacking like standard catering cups.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of Bath, decided to upgrade their entire crockery set. They wanted something that felt more premium and  aligned with their homemade, artisanal food, moving away from plain white tableware.

"These cups were exactly what we were looking for. They feel special, and  our regulars have all commented on how lovely they are. They really lift the whole experience of having a coffee with us."

Grace Williams – Proprietor

The switch helped to reinforce their premium brand image, contributing to a noticeable increase in customer compliments and  social media photo tags.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack and  inspect all cups carefully upon delivery.
  • Give them a thorough wash with detergent before their first use.
  • For best results and  customer experience, pre-warm the cups with hot water before pouring coffee.
  • Ensure you pair them with a compatible 140mm Olympia Kiln saucer for a stable, professional fit.

Keeping It Going

  • These commercial cappuccino cups are fully safe for use in commercial dishwashers.
  • To protect the beautiful glaze, avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive chemicals.
  • Stack carefully, avoiding high, unstable towers which could lead to chipping the rims.
  • The vitrified material is non-porous, meaning it naturally resists staining from strong tea and  coffee.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cups

Not sure which cups are right for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Standard porcelain is fine, but for the rough and  tumble of a commercial kitchen, 'vitrified' porcelain offers far superior strength and  chip resistance.

Capacity is Key

A 230ml (8oz) cup is the UK industry standard for a cappuccino, but you might need smaller 3oz cups for espressos or larger 12oz options for lattes.

Aesthetics and  Brand

Your crockery is a key part of your brand's story. Choose a style—be it rustic, minimalist, or traditional—that perfectly complements your decor and  atmosphere.

Stacking and  Storage

If back-of-house space is at a premium, look for cups with a design that allows for safe, stable stacking. Note that highly stylised cups may not stack as tightly as basic ones.

Look for Standards

A certification like the BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware Standard is your guarantee that the product is tough enough for professional hotel and  restaurant use.

A: No, the Olympia GP346 cappuccino cup is supplied in a trade pack of 6, which is ideal for professional top-ups or new set-ups.

A: It's a special glazing process that uses minerals which react in the kiln, creating a unique pattern and  colour finish on every single cup.

A: Yes, they are fully microwave safe, which is handy for pre-heating milk or giving a lukewarm drink a quick blast.

What Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?

Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It’s not just a fancy marketing term; it's a specific ceramic firing technique that makes each piece of crockery genuinely one-of-a-kind. During the firing process in the kiln, different minerals within the glaze react to the intense heat in slightly different ways.

Think of it like a natural pattern on a piece of slate or wood – no two are ever identical. While one kiln coffee cup might have deeper blue swirls, another might show lighter, subtle speckles where the glaze has reacted differently. This process gives each piece its own unique 'fingerprint', turning a mass-produced item into a collection of individual works of art for your customers to enjoy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Coffee Shops: Ideal for enhancing the presentation of speciality coffees and  matching a modern, rustic decor.
  • Boutique Hotels & Guesthouses: Perfect for adding a touch of luxury to the in-room service or breakfast offering.
  • Trendy Cafés & Bistros: The unique design complements a creative menu and  helps create an Instagram-worthy dining experience.
  • Farm Shops & Garden Centres: A brilliant fit for cafés that want to reflect a natural, high-quality, and  rustic brand image.
