Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Store cups in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to keep them clean and prevent damage.
- Keep the stack away from direct sunlight or sources of heat to protect the cup structure.
- Display them rim-down on your service counter to ensure hygiene for every customer.
- Make sure you have the correct Fiesta 6/8oz lids ready to go for a perfect fit.
Best Practices
- Inform customers that the cups are commercially compostable and guide them to the correct bin if you provide one.
- For very hot drinks like black coffee or tea, consider offering optional cup sleeves for customer comfort.
- Use a cup dispenser to ensure a 'one-at-a-time' system, which is more hygienic and reduces waste.
- Dispose of used cups in your commercial food waste collection, not general waste or mixed recycling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 6oz mean in ml?
A: A 6oz capacity is approximately 170ml, making it the perfect size for smaller, high-quality coffees like a flat white or cortado.
Q: Are these cups insulated?
A: These are single-wall cups, so they offer minimal insulation. For very hot drinks, you might want to offer customers a cardboard sleeve for extra comfort.
Q: Can I recycle these cups?
A: No, these are designed for commercial composting, not recycling. The PLA lining that makes them waterproof cannot be processed in standard paper recycling plants.
Q: What are they actually made from?
A: The cups are made from sustainably sourced paper with a lining of PLA, a plant-based bioplastic, which allows them to be composted.
Q: Are lids included with the cups?
A: Lids are sold separately. These cups are compatible with all Fiesta 6/8oz lids, allowing you to stock one lid type for multiple cup sizes.
Q: What is the benefit of a rolled edge?
A: The rolled edge, or rim, adds significant structural strength to the cup, preventing it from feeling flimsy and helping lids to snap on securely.
Q: Can these hold things other than coffee?
A: Absolutely. Their 6oz size makes them fantastic for serving hot chocolate samples, mulled wine, dipping sauces, or even small portions of soup.
Q: What does 'single wall' mean?
A: It means the cup is constructed from a single layer of paperboard. This makes it lightweight and cost-effective, but less insulating than double or triple-wall cups.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhat 'Commercially Compostable' Really Means for Your Business
You'll see 'BS EN 13432 Certified' on these cups, but what does that actually mean? In simple terms, it's a guarantee that these cups will break down into natural elements, but only under the specific conditions of an industrial composting facility. They won't biodegrade in a typical garden compost heap.
Think of it like baking a professional cake versus a home-baked one. An industrial facility has the perfect, high-temperature 'oven' and the right mix of 'ingredients' (microbes, moisture, and air) to break the cup down efficiently in a set timeframe. Your garden compost is more like a slow-cooker; it doesn't have the intense heat needed for materials like PLA lining. That's why it's important to dispose of these in a dedicated commercial food waste bin and check for facilities in your area.
Who Should Buy This?

- Market & Food Stalls: Perfect for serving hot samples, mulled drinks, or dipping sauces with minimal environmental impact.
- Mobile Caterers: Lightweight, easy to stack, and disposable, making them brilliant for events and functions.
- Corporate Offices: A smart, sustainable choice for client meetings or staff kitchen areas over plastic or polystyrene.
