Jugs

Jugs are essential serving vessels for water, milk, cream, coffee and other beverages in professional hospitality settings. This range covers coffee machine jugs, insulated and vacuum jugs, milk jugs and creamers, plus water jugs and carafes in glass, plastic and other durable materials. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, hotels, bars and self-service stations, they support smooth beverage service from breakfast through late night. Robust construction, easy pouring and attractive presentation help maintain hygiene, speed of service and a consistent guest experience.

• Coffee machine jugs designed to fit commercial brewers and decanters for reliable hot drink service.
• Insulated and vacuum jugs that keep beverages at serving temperature for longer, ideal for buffets and meeting rooms.
• Milk jugs and creamers for barista stations, tea and coffee service and room service trays.
• Water jugs and carafes in classic and contemporary styles for table service and conference use.
• Choice of glass, plastic and other hard-wearing materials to suit indoor dining, outdoor terraces and high-volume catering.
• Ergonomic handles and spouts to support accurate, drip-free pouring in busy service environments.

How to choose the right Jugs

• Match capacity to service style, from small creamers for individual servings to larger jugs for shared tables and buffets.
• Choose materials such as glass for premium presentation, plastic for outdoor and high-traffic use, or insulated bodies for heat retention.
• Check compatibility with your coffee machines and brewing equipment when selecting coffee jugs and decanters.
• Consider whether jugs will be used front of house, back of house or for self-service, and select designs that suit your decor and workflow.
• Look for features like drip-free spouts, secure lids and comfortable handles to support fast, safe pouring.
• Plan storage and stacking so jugs can be organised efficiently in limited bar or kitchen space.

Care and maintenance

• Clean jugs promptly after service using appropriate detergents, following manufacturer guidance for glass, plastic and insulated models.
• Avoid abrasive pads on polished, coated or printed surfaces to prevent scratching and clouding.
• Descale coffee jugs and decanters regularly in hard water areas to maintain flavour and appearance.
• Inspect lids, seals and handles for wear or damage and replace components to prevent leaks and spills.
• Allow jugs to dry fully before stacking or storing to minimise odours and bacterial growth.
• Store jugs in a clean, dedicated area away from strong food odours to keep beverages tasting fresh.

Pair your jugs with matching drink dispensers, teapots, glassware and table service accessories to create a cohesive beverage service setup.
