Expert Review and Insights
The Arcoroc Elegance is what we in the trade call a 'workhorse' glass. It strikes that perfect balance between looking smart and being tough enough for the relentless cycle of a commercial glasswasher. It’s not trying to be fancy; it’s designed to be a reliable, everyday glass that you can count on service after service.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Built to Last: The sturdy construction stands up brilliantly to repeated commercial dishwashing cycles.
- Simple Styling: Lacks the intricate, premium feel of more expensive, artisanal glassware.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Swan Inn', a busy canalside pub in Birmingham, was struggling with constantly mismatched and chipped glasses that looked unprofessional. They needed a uniform, durable, and cost-effective solution for their fast-paced service.
"We were losing money on breakages every single week. Since we switched to the Arcoroc Elegance glasses, they've paid for themselves. They're far tougher, look clean and professional, and our customers have even commented on the improvement."
Robert Green – Landlord
The change led to a noticeable 50% decrease in glassware replacement costs in the first quarter alone.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always run new glassware through a full wash cycle before the first use to remove any dust or residue.
- Before stocking your shelves, give each glass a quick check to ensure there's no damage from transit.
- Make sure your glasswasher's detergent and rinse aid levels are topped up for a perfect, streak-free finish.
Keeping It Going
- Avoid stacking glasses directly inside one another ('shingling') as this is a primary cause of chipping and pressure cracks.
- Never use a glass to scoop ice from the ice machine – always use a dedicated, food-safe scoop to prevent chipping.
- Regularly inspect your glasses for small nicks or cracks, especially around the rim, and remove any damaged items from service.
- To prevent thermal shock (and potential cracking), let glasses cool to room temperature before filling with ice and cold liquids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses suitable for hot drinks like coffee or tea?
A: No, these hiball glasses are designed specifically for cold beverages. Using them for hot drinks can cause the glass to crack.
Q: Is the glass rim beaded for extra strength?
A: These glasses feature a fine, smooth rim for a pleasant drinking experience, rather than a thick, beaded one.
Q: What is the diameter of the base?
A: The diameter at the base is the same as the rim, 64mm, providing excellent stability on trays and tables.
Q: Are these glasses CE marked for draft beer or wine?
A: No, these glasses are not CE/UKCA marked for capacity, making them ideal for drinks where a precise legal measure is not required, like spirits with mixers or soft drinks.
Q: Can I buy these glasses individually?
A: This particular product, the Elegance hiball glasses 170ml pack, is sold as a cost-effective case of 48 to provide the best value for commercial buyers.
Q: Approximately how much does a single glass weigh?
A: With a total box weight of 9.4kg for 48 glasses, each glass weighs roughly 196 grams, giving it a solid feel without being too heavy.
Q: Is the glass completely smooth or does it have a pattern?
A: The Arcoroc Elegance features a completely smooth, clear, straight-sided design with no patterns or textures.
Q: What are 170ml hi ball glasses for bar use typically for?

Explore more from ArcorocWhy Commercial Dishwasher-Safe Glass Makes a Difference
You might see 'dishwasher safe' on domestic glassware, but for a commercial kitchen, it means something entirely different. These Arcoroc glasses are designed to be 'commercial dishwasher safe'. This means the glass has been treated and manufactured to withstand the extreme conditions of a professional glasswasher – we're talking much higher temperatures, stronger detergents, and faster cycles that run over and over again, every single day.
Think of it like this: you could drive a normal family car on a racetrack, but it wouldn't last long. A racing car, however, is built for that specific environment. This glassware is the racing car. It resists 'glass corrosion' – the cloudy effect that ruins lesser glasses – and is less prone to becoming brittle from thermal shock, saving you money and keeping your service looking sharp.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Pubs & Bars: Ideal for serving a high volume of spirits, mixers, and soft drinks quickly and efficiently.
- Restaurants & Bistros: A classic and reliable choice for table water, juices, and simple house cocktails.
- Hotels & Function Venues: Stock up your event bars with this durable, all-purpose commercial hiball glassware 170ml.
