Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular café in York, was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its cosy, artisan brand identity. They replaced their standard white crockery with pieces from the Olympia Kiln collection, including this moss green espresso cup.
"Our customers immediately noticed the change. We constantly get comments about how lovely the new cups are. They feel solid and premium, which reflects the quality of the coffee we serve. It’s a small change that has made a huge difference to our presentation."
Michael Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The café reported a significant increase in customer photos being shared on social media, helping to boost their online visibility organically.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use and Setup
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each cup for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give the cups a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
- For a perfect pairing, use with compatible Olympia Kiln 115mm saucers (GP239, GP345, GP361, GP477).
Keeping It Going
- These cups are fully commercial dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple and efficient.
- To protect the hand-painted rims, stack them carefully and avoid knocking them against hard surfaces.
- The vitrified porcelain is non-porous, so it won't absorb flavours or odours over time.
- Feel free to use them in the microwave; the durable body can handle it with ease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these cups sold individually?
A: These cups are supplied in packs of six, making them ideal for professional use and ensuring you have a consistent set.
Q: Will the colour of my cups be identical to the photos?
A: Due to the nature of the reactive glaze, there will be slight, subtle variations in colour and pattern. This is a deliberate feature that gives each cup its unique charm.
Q: What specific saucers are compatible with this cup?
A: For a perfect fit, we recommend using any of the Olympia Kiln 115mm saucers, such as SKUs GP239, GP345, GP361, or GP477.
Q: Is the 'kiln effect' a rough texture?
A: No, the effect is purely visual. The cup has a smooth, glazed finish that is pleasant to drink from and easy to clean.
Q: How durable are the hand-painted rims?
A: The rims are painted before the final firing, sealing the colour under the glaze. They are designed to withstand commercial dishwashing, but careful handling is always recommended.
Q: What does 'vitrified' actually mean for a cup?
A: Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, causing the clay body to become glass-like. This makes it non-porous (so it won't stain or absorb water) and much stronger than standard ceramic.
Q: Can these cups be stacked safely?
A: Yes, they can be stacked. We advise stacking them in short, stable columns to ensure stability and protect the rims from accidental knocks.
Q: Are they heavy to hold?
A: They have a reassuring weight that feels premium and substantial in the hand, without being overly heavy. This is characteristic of high-quality vitrified porcelain.

Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat Exactly Is a 'Reactive Glaze'?
Ever wondered what gives this kiln effect espresso cup its unique, mottled pattern? It’s all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform colour, a reactive glaze contains special elements that transform and fuse in unpredictable ways during the high temperatures of the kiln firing. It's a controlled chemical reaction that creates one-of-a-kind patterns, colours, and textures on each piece. Think of it like the natural grain in a piece of wood or the marbling in stone – it’s a fingerprint for your crockery, ensuring that your collection has a truly bespoke, handcrafted feel that can't be replicated by mass production.
Who Should Buy This?
- Speciality Coffee Shops: Perfect for serving single or double espressos with a memorable, rustic aesthetic that customers will love.
- Boutique Hotels: An ideal choice for elevating the in-room coffee service or adding character to the breakfast buffet.
- Farm-to-Table Restaurants: The earthy tones and artisan feel perfectly complement a natural, rustic, or seasonal menu.
- Independent Garden Centres: A brilliant way to enhance the café experience and stand out from the high street chains.
