Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of York, wanted to move away from their standard white crockery to something that better reflected their vibrant, modern menu and decor. They needed something stylish but tough enough to handle hundreds of customers a day.
"We were looking for a pop of colour and these mint mugs were perfect. Our customers noticed immediately! We get so many comments on them, and they've appeared in countless Instagram photos of our coffees. They're also incredibly sturdy, which was a huge factor for us."
Robert Finch – Owner, The Copper Kettle
Since the switch, the café has seen a noticeable increase in social media engagement and customer feedback has frequently praised the 'lovely new cups'.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give all mugs a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any dust from manufacturing and transit.
- Inspect each mug for any potential damage that may have occurred during shipping.
- Designate a clean, dry, and easily accessible shelf for storage, ideally close to your coffee machine or hot water station.
Keeping It Going
- These mugs are fully dishwasher safe, but avoid overcrowding to prevent items from knocking against each other.
- When stacking, do so carefully to avoid chipping the rolled edges. The stackable design helps keep them stable.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks. While very durable, it's best to remove any damaged items from service to ensure customer safety.
- To remove stubborn tea or coffee stains, a soak in a non-abrasive solution is more effective and gentler than harsh scouring pads.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified' Really Mean for Your Cafe?
You'll see 'vitrified' mentioned a lot with professional crockery, but what is it? Think of it like a superhero upgrade for ceramics. During manufacturing, the clay is fired at an incredibly high temperature, causing the particles within it to melt and fuse together into a single, glass-like substance. This process makes the mug non-porous. For you, this means it won't absorb water, flavours, or odours, which keeps it hygienic and stain-resistant. More importantly, it makes the mug significantly stronger and far more resistant to the chipping and cracking that's inevitable in a busy commercial kitchen. It’s the secret sauce that makes professional tableware last so much longer than the mugs you'd buy for your home.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Coffee Shops: Perfect for serving your signature lattes and flat whites with a touch of modern charm.
- Boutique Hotels & B&Bs: Upgrade your in-room beverage trays or breakfast service with these stylish and durable mugs.

- Office Canteens & Break Rooms: A professional and hard-wearing option that's far superior to standard domestic mugs.
