How to choose the right Stoneware Cups

• Match cup capacity to your drinks menu, from small espresso shots to larger cappuccino and latte portions.
• Choose colours and finishes that complement your existing table stoneware, crockery and overall interior style.
• Consider cup shape and handle design for comfortable grip and easy service by baristas and waiting staff.
• Check pack sizes to suit your service volume, allowing for busy periods, breakages and dishwashing turnaround.
• Look for commercial-grade stoneware suitable for intensive use in cafes, hotels, restaurants and contract catering.
• Plan how the cups will store on shelves or saucer stacks to make best use of back bar or pass space.

Care and maintenance

• Wash stoneware cups promptly after service to prevent staining from coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
• Use non-abrasive detergents and soft cloths or brushes to protect the glaze and colour finish.
• Confirm dishwasher compatibility and load cups securely to avoid chipping during wash cycles.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as moving cups directly from cold storage to boiling liquids.
• Inspect rims and handles regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service.
• Store cups and saucers in stable stacks on level shelving to minimise impact damage and wear.
