How to choose the right Coffee Cups

• Match cup capacity to your drinks list, from small espresso shots to larger cappuccino and latte portions commonly served in Irish cafes.
• Consider material quality such as vitrified porcelain or stoneware for superior heat retention, chip resistance and long service life.
• Choose shapes and profiles that suit your presentation style, whether traditional rounded cappuccino cups or modern cone and straight-sided designs.
• Plan for storage by selecting stackable cups that fit your existing shelves, cup warmers and dishwashers without wasting space.
• Coordinate colours and finishes with your saucers, plates and wider crockery range for a consistent front-of-house look.
• Think about service speed in busy periods and opt for designs that are easy to handle, carry on trays and identify on the pass.

Care and maintenance

• Wash coffee cups in a commercial dishwasher using appropriate detergents to maintain hygiene and protect glazes.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on decorated or coloured finishes to prevent fading and surface damage.
• Inspect rims and handles regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged cups from service for customer safety.
• Allow cups to cool between cycles and avoid thermal shock by not moving them directly from hot machines to cold environments.
• Stack cups only in the way recommended by the manufacturer to reduce the risk of chipping and to keep storage stable.
• Periodically check dishwasher temperatures and chemicals to ensure effective cleaning without excessive wear on your crockery.
