Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Copper Kettle," a popular café in Chester, wanted to move away from standard white crockery to something that better reflected their warm, rustic interior. They chose the Churchill DR679 espresso cups to add a pop of colour and personality to their coffee service.
"Our customers constantly comment on the new cups. They feel so much more premium and really fit the cosy, artisan vibe we were aiming for. It was a simple upgrade that made a huge difference to our presentation."
Mark Jennings – Owner
The change led to a tangible increase in customer engagement, with more guests sharing photos of their coffee on social media, naturally boosting the café's online visibility.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each cup for any damage that may have occurred in transit.

Keeping It Going

Explore more from ChurchillWhy 'Vitrified Ceramic' is a Smarter Choice
You'll see the term 'vitrified ceramic' on lots of professional-grade crockery, but what does it actually mean for your business? In simple terms, vitrification is a process where the ceramic is fired at an incredibly high temperature. This fuses the clay particles together, making the final product almost completely non-porous and exceptionally dense.
Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a block of glass. A sponge soaks up everything, but you can't stain glass. Because vitrified ceramic doesn't absorb moisture, it's far more resistant to coffee stains, lingering flavours, and bacteria. This not only makes it more hygienic but also significantly tougher and more resistant to the chips and cracks that plague standard earthenware in a busy kitchen.
