Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Room, a bustling garden centre café in Norwich, needed to upgrade its tired and mismatched crockery. They wanted something that was tough enough for their high-footfall environment but also reflected the bright, natural atmosphere of their venue.
"These Olympia mugs have been absolutely brilliant. They instantly lifted the look of our service counter and our customers frequently comment on how lovely they are. Most importantly, they've stood up to our commercial dishwasher without a single chip or fade in six months."
Robert Green – Café Manager
The café has reduced its monthly breakage and replacement costs by an estimated 60% and has seen an increase in positive customer comments about its presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each mug for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before their first use, we recommend running the full Olympia coffee cups 6 pack through a hot cycle in your commercial dishwasher.
- Designate a clean, dry, and easily accessible shelf for storage, ideally close to your coffee machine or hot water boiler.
Keeping It Going
- To preserve the glaze, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemical cleaners. A standard dishwasher cycle is sufficient.
- When stacking, avoid clattering the mugs together. Place them down gently to protect the rolled edges.
- Although tough, they are not invincible! Avoid exposing them to extreme and sudden temperature changes, like pouring iced water into a mug straight from the oven.
- Regularly check for any signs of hairline cracks or chips; damaged crockery should be removed from service for safety.

Q: Are these mugs heavy to hold?
A: They have a reassuring weight that feels high-quality without being too heavy for comfortable use by customers and staff.

A: No, the colour is part of a durable glaze that is fired on, making it resistant to fading from commercial dishwashing and detergents.

A: The Olympia Fondant mugs have a smooth, high-gloss finish which makes them easy to clean and gives them a premium look.
Q: How well do they stack?
A: They are designed with a specific foot that allows them to be stacked securely in twos or threes without being unstable, saving valuable shelf space.
Q: What does conforming to BS4034 actually mean?
A: It's a British Hotelware Standard that certifies the crockery has low water absorption and is durable enough to withstand professional catering environments, resisting chipping and crazing.
Q: Is the handle comfortable for a range of hand sizes?
A: Yes, the handle is designed to be ergonomic and provides a comfortable, secure grip for most users.
Q: What is the diameter of the inner circle at the bottom?

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Mugs?
Ever wondered what makes some crockery tougher than others? It often comes down to being 'vitrified'. Think of it as giving the mug a suit of armour. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature (over 1200°C!) until the clay body becomes glass-like and non-porous. This process fuses the particles together, making the final product much stronger and more resistant to chipping. It also means it won't absorb water, flavours, or odours, making it far more hygienic and resistant to staining over time. So, when you see 'Vitrified to BS4034 standard', you know you're getting a mug built for battle in a professional kitchen.
