- Cons: The classic straight-sided tumbler design means they don't stack for storage.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head in York was looking to upgrade its glassware to something more durable that also improved the look of their cask ales. Their old glasses were prone to chipping and failed to hold a decent head, impacting customer perception.
"We switched to the Arcoroc CH806 glasses a few months ago and the difference is night and day. They feel sturdy, they come out of the glasswasher looking brand new, and the head on our ales is consistently brilliant. Our regulars have definitely noticed and commented on how much better their pint looks."
Robert Miller – General Manager
The investment has led to a noticeable reduction in glassware replacement costs and a significant increase in positive customer feedback on drink quality.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, carefully unpack and inspect each glass for any transit damage.
- Run all glasses through a full cycle in your commercial glasswasher with a renovating agent to remove any manufacturing residue.
- Ensure your glasswasher rinse aid is topped up to prevent spotting and ensure a sparkling finish.
- Store on clean, non-slip matting, ready for service.
Keeping It Going
- Always use the correct glass rack to avoid knocking and chipping during the wash cycle.
- Avoid using glasses to scoop ice from the ice machine, as this is a major cause of thermal shock and breakages.
- Regularly check the rim of each glass for small chips or cracks and remove from service immediately if damaged.
- To maintain the effectiveness of the nucleation, avoid contact with greasy fingers or lipstick on the inside base of the glass.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'Headbooster Nucleated' actually mean?
A: It means the base of the glass has been laser-etched with tiny points. These agitate the CO2 in the beer, creating a steady stream of bubbles to maintain a thick, creamy head for much longer.
Q: Are these glasses genuinely stronger than standard glasses?
A: Yes. They are 'fully tempered', a process that makes the glass up to five times more resistant to thermal and mechanical shock. This drastically reduces breakages in a busy bar.
Q: What does the UKCA mark signify?
A: The UKCA mark is a certification that shows the glass accurately holds the stated volume (in this case, 1/2 pint). It is a legal requirement in the UK for serving draught beverages.
Q: Can I wash these in a high-temperature commercial glasswasher?
A: Absolutely. These are designed specifically for commercial use and are safe to wash in all standard commercial glasswashers.
Q: How many glasses are included in one pack?
A: Each pack contains 12 individual Arcoroc CH806 tumbler glasses.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of one glass?
A: Each glass is 160mm tall and has a diameter of 90mm at the widest point.
Q: Is Arcoroc a good brand for a professional setting?
A: Arcoroc is a world-leading brand in professional tableware, renowned for creating innovative, durable, and functional glassware designed to meet the demands of the hospitality industry.
Q: Do these glasses stack inside each other for storage?
A: No, this specific tumbler design is not intended for stacking. They should be stored side-by-side on shelving or matting.

Explore more from ArcorocHow Nucleation Creates the Perfect Head
Ever wondered why beer looks so much better in a pub glass? The secret is often nucleation. Think of the base of this glass as a launchpad for bubbles. It has tiny, laser-etched points on the inside bottom, invisible to the naked eye. These points act as triggers, helping the dissolved CO2 in the beer to form continuous streams of bubbles that travel to the top of the glass. This constantly replenishes the frothy head, keeping it thick and stable from the first sip to the last. It’s not magic; it’s clever science that ensures better aroma, a smoother taste, and a pint that looks fantastic right to the end.
