Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Based in the bustling Northern Quarter of Manchester, 'Grind & Co.' wanted to eliminate single-use plastics from their takeaway service to align with their brand's sustainable ethos. They needed a cup that performed just as well as their old ones but was genuinely better for the environment.
"Our customers are very savvy about green issues. Switching to these Fiesta compostable cups was brilliant. People immediately noticed the '100% compostable' mark and we've had so much positive feedback. They feel sturdy, they don't leak, and they show we're putting our money where our mouth is."
Ben Carter – Owner, Grind & Co.
The switch directly led to a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning sustainability and completely eliminated their contribution to plastic landfill waste.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Store packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep them in perfect condition.
- Keep the dispenser area clean and tidy to ensure cups are always hygienic.
- Make sure you order the compatible lids (DS053 / DS055) to ensure a spill-proof seal.
- Position them near your till or coffee machine for fast, efficient service.
Keeping It Going
- These cups are designed for single use; do not attempt to wash or reuse them.
- Inform customers that the cups should be disposed of in a food waste or commercial compost bin, not standard recycling.
- Manage stock on a 'first in, first out' basis to ensure you're always using the oldest cups first.
- Regularly check your inventory to avoid running out during a busy weekend rush.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these cups safe for boiling hot drinks?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed to hold liquids at temperatures up to 100°C, making them perfect for fresh coffee, tea, and other hot beverages.
Q: Can I recycle these cups?
A: No, they are not designed for standard paper recycling. They are certified commercially compostable, so they should be disposed of in a food waste or commercial composting bin.
Q: What does 'double wall' actually do?
A: The two layers of paperboard create an insulating air gap. This keeps the drink inside hotter for longer, while the outside of the cup stays cool enough to hold comfortably without a sleeve.
Q: Do the cups come with lids?
A: Lids are sold separately to give you flexibility. You'll need to purchase the compatible compostable lids (codes DS053 or DS055) for a secure fit.
Q: What is the inner lining made from?
A: The cups feature a plant-based PLA lining, which is a compostable alternative to the traditional oil-based polyethylene. It's what makes the cup leak-proof and fully compostable.
Q: Will the cup go soggy if a drink is left in it?
A: Not at all. The PLA lining and quality paperboard construction ensure the cup remains strong and rigid, even when holding a drink for an extended period.
Q: Are they suitable for cold drinks too?
A: Yes, they work perfectly well for cold drinks. The double wall will even help to reduce condensation on the outside of the cup.
Q: How should I store them before use?
A: Just keep them in a cool, dry place, away from any moisture or direct sunlight, and they'll be ready to go when you need them.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhy the Double Wall Makes a Real Difference
Ever wondered what 'double wall' actually means for a coffee cup? Think of it like double-glazing for your windows. Instead of a single layer of paperboard, these cups have two distinct layers separated by a pocket of air. This simple but clever bit of engineering is what makes them so good at their job.
That air gap acts as a natural insulator. It dramatically slows down the heat from your piping hot coffee from reaching the outer wall. For your customer, this means their drink stays hotter for longer, while the outside of the cup remains cool enough to hold comfortably. It completely removes the need for separate cardboard sleeves, which not only saves you money and storage space but also creates less waste. It's a small feature that delivers big benefits in comfort, performance, and efficiency.
