Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Spoon, a bustling seaside café in Whitby, wanted to refresh its tableware to better reflect its coastal location. Their plain white cups were durable but lacked personality and did nothing to enhance their expertly made coffee.
"We switched to the Olympia aqua cups and the customer reaction was immediate. They feel so much more special, and we've seen a definite increase in people photographing their coffees for Instagram. It was a simple switch that made our whole service feel more polished."
Michael Edwards – Owner, The Salted Spoon
The investment resulted in a significant boost in positive online reviews mentioning the café's 'lovely presentation' and unique crockery.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give your new cups a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Carefully inspect each cup upon unboxing to ensure there's no damage from shipping.
- Decide on a logical storage spot near your coffee machine to make service smooth and efficient.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent tannin stains from tea and coffee, ensure cups are rinsed or washed shortly after use.
- When loading into a dishwasher, avoid overcrowding the rack to prevent cups from knocking together.
- Stack carefully, ensuring they are fully dry to prevent moisture from being trapped.
- Regularly check the rims and handles for any small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged items from service immediately for safety.

The Olympia Standard: Durability Meets Design
Choosing Olympia crockery is about more than just picking a colour; it's an investment in consistency and reliability. For years, Olympia has been a trusted workhorse in the UK's hospitality scene, striking the perfect balance between beautiful design and the practical demands of a high-turnover environment. This aqua commercial flat white cup is a prime example. It's built not just to look good on day one, but to withstand hundreds of wash cycles, accidental knocks, and daily stacking without losing its charm. This long-term durability means a lower total cost of ownership for your business, as you'll spend less time and money replacing chipped or faded items. It's the kind of smart, behind-the-scenes decision that maintains your establishment's high standards and keeps your service running smoothly, day in and day out.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy Rolled Edges Are a Lifesaver in a Busy Kitchen
Ever wondered what 'rolled edges' actually means for a coffee cup? Think of it like a safety helmet for your crockery. The rim is the most vulnerable part of a cup, prone to getting knocked against other items on a draining rack, in the dishwasher, or when being stacked. A rolled edge is a smooth, thickened rim that reinforces this weak point. This simple design feature distributes the force of any impact, making the cup far more resistant to chipping and cracking. In a busy commercial environment, that means fewer breakages, lower replacement costs, and safer, smarter-looking tableware for longer.
