Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Steam Engine, a bustling cafe in Bristol near Temple Meads, needed to replace their assortment of chipped and mismatched cups. They wanted a uniform, professional look that could withstand their high-volume service without constant replacements.
"Since we switched to the Churchill cups, the difference is night and day. They just feel like quality. We've had fewer breakages, and customers have commented on how much nicer their coffee looks and feels. It’s a small change that’s made a big impact on our presentation."
Robert Mills – Owner
After three months, the cafe reported a 90% reduction in crockery chipping and damage, significantly lowering their replacement costs.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash thoroughly before the first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
- Upon delivery, unpack and inspect each cup for any signs of damage during transit.
- If you're using the matching saucers (DL389), ensure you have enough for each cup.
- Pre-warming the cups with hot water before service can help keep coffee hotter for longer.
Keeping It Going
- These cups are tough, but avoid dropping them from height onto hard surfaces.
- When stacking, avoid creating towers that are too high to prevent them from toppling over.
- Use a non-abrasive detergent in your dishwasher to maintain the pristine white glaze.
- Regularly check the rims and handles for any small chips or cracks and remove any damaged items from service.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Does 'Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Cafe?
You'll see 'vitrified' on a lot of quality crockery, but what is it? Think of it like turning regular pottery into superhero pottery. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the clay particles to fuse together and become glass-like, or 'vitrified'.
The result is a cup that is no longer porous. Imagine the difference between a terracotta plant pot that soaks up water and a glazed tile that water runs right off. Because a vitrified cup is non-porous, it won't absorb moisture, old coffee flavours, or detergents. This makes it far more hygienic, stain-resistant, and much, much stronger and more chip-resistant than standard ceramic. It's the secret ingredient for crockery that lasts in a commercial setting.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Coffee Shops: Perfect for upgrading from generic crockery to durable, barista-approved white coffee cups for cafes.
- Bistros & Restaurants: A classic and reliable choice for serving after-dinner coffees that complement any table setting.
- Hotels & Guest Houses: Ideal for a professional breakfast service or for use in conference and event facilities.
- Corporate & Office Kitchens: A hard-wearing and stylish option for staff canteens and client-facing meeting rooms.
