Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Practicality King: Stackable, tough, and glasswasher safe—it ticks all the right boxes for a busy venue.
- Not for Draught: Remember, these are not CE stamped, so they can't be used for draught beer.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pilot Boat Inn, a popular seaside pub in Lyme Regis, was struggling with constant glassware breakages during the hectic summer tourist season. They needed a more durable solution that still looked smart for their customers.
"We were losing dozens of glasses every week to chips and cracks, especially when clearing tables quickly. Switching to these Olympia tumblers has been brilliant. They handle the knocks of a busy service and come out of the glasswasher looking perfect every time."
Robert Green – General Manager
Since making the switch, the pub has reduced its glassware replacement budget by over 60%, freeing up funds for other areas of the business.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each glass for any signs of damage during transit.
- Before their first use, run the glasses through a full cycle in your commercial glasswasher to ensure they are pristine.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads which can cause micro-scratches over time.
- When stacking, ensure they are nested correctly and not forced, to maintain stability and prevent stress.
Keeping It Going
- Always use a designated glass rack in your washer to prevent items from knocking together and chipping.
- Regularly check and refill your dishwasher's rinse aid to achieve a sparkling, streak-free finish every time.
- To prevent clouding from limescale, descale your glasswasher according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Immediately remove any glass from service if you notice a chip or crack, however small, to ensure customer safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses really stronger than standard ones?
A: Yes, absolutely. The toughening process they undergo makes them significantly more resistant to both physical impact and sudden temperature changes, which is why they are ideal for commercial use.
Q: Can I stack these glasses on a shelf?
A: You can. They are specifically designed with a profile that allows them to be stacked securely, a vital feature for saving space behind a busy bar.
Q: What is the best way to wash Olympia DB949 glass tumblers?
A: They are fully commercial glasswasher safe. For the best, streak-free results, use a proper glass rack and a quality rinse aid.
Q: Is the 350ml capacity suitable for general use?
A: It's one of the most versatile sizes you can have. It’s perfect for a standard serving of a soft drink like cola or lemonade, or a spirit with a generous amount of mixer.
Q: Are these glasses CE marked for selling pints or half-pints?
A: No, this specific model is not CE marked. They are intended for unmeasured drinks like juices, water, or mixers, not for serving legal measures of draught beverages.
Q: Will they go cloudy over time?
A: With proper care and a well-maintained glasswasher (using rinse aid and regular descaling), these high-quality glasses will resist clouding and stay sparkling.
Q: What does the 'panelled' design refer to?
A: It refers to the classic, indented vertical panels around the outside of the glass. It’s a traditional style that also provides a bit of extra grip.
Q: How many glasses are included in one purchase?
A: This product is sold as a pack of 12 glasses, offering excellent value for money when you need to stock up.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy 'Fully Toughened' Glass is a Safer, Smarter Choice
Ever wondered what 'toughened glass' actually means? It's not just a marketing buzzword. The glass goes through a special process of intense heating followed by rapid cooling. Think of it like tempering steel to make a stronger blade. This process changes the structure of the glass, making it up to five times stronger than standard glass against knocks and sudden temperature changes (like being filled with ice after coming from a hot glasswasher).
Here's the really clever bit: if it does happen to break, it shatters into lots of small, blunt, cube-like pieces instead of long, dangerous shards. This massively reduces the risk of injury to your staff and customers, making it the only sensible choice for a public environment. It’s a feature that protects people and your pocket in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Pubs & Bars: A reliable, no-fuss option for serving spirits, mixers, and soft drinks all day long.
- Family-Friendly Restaurants: The toughened glass offers extra peace of mind and durability in a bustling dining room.
- Bustling Cafes: Perfect for serving water, fresh juices, and iced coffees with a classic, clean look.
- Event & Function Venues: An economical and robust choice for catering large numbers without compromising on quality.
