How to choose the right Olympia Kiln Crockery

• Start by matching cup capacities to your drinks menu, from compact espresso cups to larger cappuccino and latte sizes.
• Consider which Kiln colours best suit your brand and interior, whether earthy Moss and Sandstone or cooler Ocean and Smoke tones.
• Check that saucer diameters pair correctly with your chosen cups and leave enough space for spoons, sugar and biscuits.
• Plan storage by opting for stackable cup and saucer designs if you have limited shelf or back bar space.
• Think about service style: choose more robust, thicker pieces for high-volume cafes and lighter options for boutique or hotel lounge service.
• Allow for future expansion by selecting a core colour and style that can be easily added to as your business grows.

Care and maintenance

• Wash Olympia Kiln Crockery in a commercial dishwasher using non-abrasive detergents to protect the reactive glazes.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks by not moving items directly from freezer to oven or from very hot to very cold environments.
• Use plastic or rubber-coated racks and separators to minimise edge contact and reduce the risk of chipping.
• Inspect cups, saucers and jugs regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service for safety and presentation.
• Stack cups and saucers carefully following the manufacturer’s guidance to prevent pressure points and surface scratching.
• Rotate stock in daily use so wear is spread evenly across the range and colours age consistently over time.
