How to choose the right Hot Drinks Glasses

• Match glass capacity to your menu, from small espresso shots to large lattes and teas, so portions are consistent and profitable.
• Decide between double-walled borosilicate and standard glass depending on how long drinks need to stay hot and how cool you want the exterior to feel.
• Consider whether you need handles for guest comfort, especially for table service and hotel breakfast areas.
• Check stackability and overall height to ensure the glasses fit under your coffee machine spouts and into existing storage racks.
• Select designs that complement your brand, from sleek contemporary shapes to classic coffee house styles.
• Choose pack sizes that suit your service volume, allowing for breakages and busy peak periods.

Care and maintenance

• Wash glasses in a commercial dishwasher using appropriate glass detergents and rinse aids to maintain clarity and shine.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks by not pouring boiling liquids into chilled glasses straight from cold storage.
• Inspect rims and handles regularly for chips or cracks and remove any damaged items from service immediately.
• Use non-abrasive cloths and sponges to prevent scratching, especially on double-walled or decorated glassware.
• Store glasses upright and, where stackable, follow manufacturer guidance to prevent pressure damage.
• Periodically check your glasswasher settings and water quality to reduce clouding and limescale build-up.
