Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Corner Perk', a popular coffee spot in York's historic centre, needed to upgrade their crockery. Their previous cups were chipping frequently, making the service look inconsistent and  increasing their replacement costs.

"We were tired of constantly throwing away chipped cups. We needed something that looked good but could handle our busiest weekend rushes. The Olympia Whiteware espresso cups have been absolutely brilliant – they look as good now as they did six months ago."

Robert Evans – Owner, The Corner Perk

After switching, the café reported a 30% reduction in crockery breakage and  replacement orders within the first year, significantly improving their operational costs.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • On arrival, unpack and  inspect all cups for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give all cups a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust.
  • Check that they fit neatly and  securely on your existing saucers or the matching Olympia Y112 saucers.

Keeping It Going

  • These cups are fully dishwasher safe, so use a commercial cycle for best results.
  • To avoid scratches, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • When storing, stack the stackable white porcelain espresso cups carefully to prevent pressure points and  potential chipping.
  • Regularly check the rolled edges for any small chips to ensure you always present a perfect cup to your customers.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Espresso Cups

Not sure what to look for? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect cups for your establishment.

Capacity is Key

A standard single espresso is 30ml, so a 60ml (2oz) cup is ideal. It leaves room for a lovely crema and  prevents spills. For doubles, you’d need a larger size.

Material Matters

Porcelain is the classic choice. It’s non-porous and  has excellent heat retention, keeping the espresso warmer for longer compared to glass or ceramic.

Look for Durability

In a commercial setting, 'vitrified' and  'rolled edges' are your best friends. These features are specifically designed to prevent chips and  cracks, saving you money in the long run.

Consider the Colour

White is the industry standard for a reason. It provides a high-contrast background that beautifully showcases the rich colour and  crema of your espresso.

Check for Stackability

Space is always at a premium. Cups that can be stacked safely and  neatly save valuable shelf space behind the bar or in the kitchen.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?

You'll see 'fully vitrified' mentioned a lot with professional crockery, but what is it? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay body becomes non-porous and  glass-like. Think of it like turning a sponge into a solid piece of glass – water and  other liquids simply can't get in.

For your business, this is a massive plus. It means these Olympia Whiteware espresso cups are much stronger and  more resistant to 'thermal shock' (going from hot to cold quickly, like in a dishwasher). They won't absorb water, oils, or odours, which prevents staining and  makes them more hygienic. Ultimately, it’s this process that gives them their long-lasting durability and  ability to withstand the rigours of a commercial kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Coffee Shops: Perfect for delivering a consistent, professional espresso service without breaking the bank on delicate crockery.
  • Hotels and  B&Bs: An ideal choice for breakfast service, conference rooms, or in-room coffee stations due to their durability.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: These 2oz espresso cups for cafes and  restaurants provide a clean, classic end to any meal, from a quick lunch to fine dining.
  • Corporate Offices & Canteens: A smart, long-lasting option for staff kitchens and  meeting areas that withstands constant use and  washing.
