Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"Grind & Co.", a popular coffee bar in Norwich, decided to overhaul their tableware to better reflect their modern, minimalist brand identity. They switched from their old, mismatched white porcelain to the complete black Olympia stoneware collection, including the CU961 flat white cups.
"It's amazing what a difference a cup can make. Our regulars noticed immediately and we've had so many compliments. They feel substantial and look fantastic on our Instagram feed. It was a simple switch that made our whole service feel more polished and professional."
Samuel Jones – Owner, Grind & Co.
The change resulted in a noticeable uptick in social media tags and customer photos, boosting their online presence organically.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy Chip-Resistant Stoneware is a Smarter Choice
Ever wondered what makes 'stoneware' different from regular ceramic? It's all in the heat. Stoneware is fired at a much higher temperature, which vitrifies the clay—making it dense, non-porous, and incredibly tough. Think of it like the difference between a biscuit and a rusk; one is much harder to break! This process is what gives the Olympia CU961 flat white cup its superior strength and chip-resistance. For a busy cafe, that means fewer breakages, lower replacement costs, and better heat retention to keep your customer's coffee warmer for longer. It’s a small detail that makes a huge operational difference.
