Cafe Range

Espresso cups at the compact end of this range, in 80ml and 90ml sizes, handle the concentrated small-volume drinks that make up much of a café's order volume. At the other end sit full coffee mugs at 280–340ml and a tall latte mug for oversized milk drinks. Between those two anchors, cappuccino cups at 200ml cover the broad middle of a café drink menu, and a selection of mid-size coffee cups handles the flat white and long black range. Stackable styles run throughout, with both coffee cups and teacups available in stacking formats that save space on a service counter or commercial shelving. Dedicated tea cup styles complete the range for venues that serve both. All styles are ceramic and printed with a logo or café name.

Branded cups on the table in a restaurant or on the counter at a café put the venue's name in front of each customer at the moment they sit down with a drink. The cup carries the name for the duration of the sitting, in the customer's hands throughout, without the transactional framing of a printed menu or a receipt.

Several styles include stackable construction, letting cups rest on top of one another when stored. A café with limited counter space between services can keep a full set stacked rather than laid flat.

Things to Know

Do branded cafe cups need to withstand commercial use? The ceramic styles in this range withstand commercial service environments, with construction suited to daily use and repeated cleaning in industrial dishwashers. A café or restaurant ordering these can run them through the service cycle without concern for the print fading on standard commercial washing.

What size covers the most common café drink orders? Cappuccino cups at 200ml cover the majority of milk-based café drinks, including flat whites and cappuccinos. Espresso cups at 80–90ml cover the short black end, and the 280ml-plus mug styles handle larger café formats and filter coffee.

Can a matching saucer be printed to accompany the cappuccino cup styles? Several cappuccino cup styles in the range include a matching saucer, and the saucer can be printed with the same design as the cup. The saucer print typically carries the logo at a scale suited to that smaller surface.

Which hospitality businesses order from this subcategory? Cafés and restaurants are the primary buyers, followed by hotel food and beverage operations, catering companies, and hospitality training providers. Any venue that serves coffee or tea in a sit-down setting and wants consistent branding on the cup at the point of service orders from this range.
