Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Leaf Café, a bustling spot in Bristol, wanted to upgrade their generic white cups to something with more character to match their new, cosy interior design.

"Our customers immediately noticed the new mugs. They feel so much more premium and  really fit the independent vibe we're going for. They just make the coffee feel more special."

Mark Davies – Owner

The new mugs became a key feature in their social media posts, boosting customer engagement online and  reinforcing the brand's artisan image.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before first use to remove any factory dust.
  • Check each mug for any imperfections upon unboxing, as is good practice with any new delivery.
  • Stack carefully on shelves, using shelf liners if possible to prevent scuff marks over time.

Keeping It Going

  • Load into dishwasher racks carefully to prevent mugs from knocking against each other during the wash cycle.
  • Use a quality rinse aid to avoid water spots and  keep the unique glaze looking its best.
  • While tough, avoid using abrasive steel scourers which could eventually damage the beautiful glaze.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks and  remove from service to ensure customer safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Mugs

Not sure which mug is the perfect match for your brew? Here’s a few pointers to help you decide.

Capacity is Key

Consider your most popular drinks. A 12oz chalkboard mug Olympia is great for lattes, but you might need smaller 8oz cups for flat whites.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic choice for heat retention and  a clean taste. Vitrified porcelain, like this, adds superior durability for busy commercial environments.

Think About Handling

Does the handle feel comfortable? Is the mug balanced? A well-designed mug enhances the customer's drinking experience.

Storage Space

Are your new mugs stackable? Measure your shelf height and  depth to make sure your new collection will fit neatly and  safely.

Match Your Vibe

Your crockery is part of your brand. Choose a style, like this rustic Kiln mug, that complements your decor and  overall aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these mugs sold individually?

A: This model, the Olympia FB992, is supplied in a convenient box containing 6 mugs.

Q: What does 'reactive glaze' mean?

A: It's a special type of glaze that creates unique patterns and  textures on each piece during the firing process, giving them a lovely, handcrafted look.

Q: Is the Olympia FB992 chalk mug fully dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it's designed to withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashing, making cleanup quick and  easy.

Q: Can I use these in a microwave?

A: Absolutely. They are safe for microwave use, which is perfect for reheating a customer's drink if it has gone cold.

Q: What is the exact capacity?

A: The capacity is 340ml, which is equivalent to 12oz. This is a standard size for lattes or large coffees.

Q: Is the 'chalk' finish something you can write on?

A: The 'Chalk White' name refers to the beautiful, soft white colour of the finish. It is not a chalkboard surface that you can write on.

Q: What does 'vitrified' mean for a mug?

A: It means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature to make it non-porous, much stronger, and  more resistant to chipping than standard ceramic.

Q: How heavy is each individual mug?

A: The total box weight for 6 mugs is 2.25kg, so each mug weighs approximately 375g, giving it a quality, substantial feel.

What Customers Are Saying

Absolutely love these mugs. They are sturdy, look fantastic and  our customers are always commenting on them. A great buy.

Really nice quality and  the finish is lovely. A couple had very slight differences in the rim, but that just adds to the charm. They wash brilliantly.

Tom P. – The Old Mill Restaurant

Perfect size for our large coffees. They feel solid and  have survived plenty of knocks in our busy kitchen. Will be ordering more.

The Olympia Kiln Collection: Artisan Style, Commercial Strength

Choosing Olympia’s Kiln range is about more than just buying a new mug; it’s an investment in your brand's atmosphere. For over 50 years, Olympia has been a trusted name in UK hospitality, known for creating tableware that masterfully balances aesthetic appeal with the rigorous demands of a professional kitchen. The Kiln collection embodies this philosophy perfectly. While your customers see a beautiful, rustic café chalk coffee cup that elevates their coffee experience, you get the peace of mind that comes with vitrified, BS4034-compliant porcelain. This means fewer replacements due to chips and  cracks, consistent presentation day after day, and  the reliability of a product designed specifically for the hustle and  bustle of service. It’s this combination of front-of-house charm and  back-of-house resilience that makes Olympia a smart, long-term choice for any serious food and  beverage business.

What Makes 'Vitrified' Porcelain So Tough?

Ever wondered why some crockery chips at the slightest knock while others seem almost indestructible? The secret is often 'vitrification'. Think of it like turning regular porcelain into a type of toughened glass. During firing at incredibly high temperatures, the clay particles fuse together, closing up all the tiny pores. This makes this commercial ceramic coffee mug non-porous, so it won't absorb water, stains, or odours, and  it’s significantly stronger and  more resistant to chips and  cracks from daily commercial use. It’s the difference between standard pottery and  professional-grade tableware built to last.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Coffee Shops: Perfect for enhancing the presentation of speciality lattes and  flat whites in a stylish cup.
  • Rustic Bistros & Restaurants: Complements a 'farm-to-table' menu and  adds a touch of homespun charm to the table setting.
  • Boutique Hotels & B&Bs: Ideal for adding a premium, personal touch to in-room beverage trays or breakfast service.
  • Farm Shops & Garden Centres: A brilliant choice for cafés that want their crockery to reflect their wholesome, high-quality brand.
