Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Kristallon range consistently impresses with its balance of form and function. These cocktail glasses are no exception. They solve a very real, very expensive problem for businesses without compromising on the customer's experience. The clarity is excellent, and they have enough weight to not feel cheap, a common pitfall with lesser alternatives.

- Top Benefit: The safety aspect is a massive win for busy or outdoor venues.
- Minor Drawback: Can develop fine scratches over time if abrasive cleaners are used.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren, a popular harbourside pub in Penzance, was struggling with high glassware replacement costs, especially during the busy summer tourist season. Frequent breakages on their outdoor terrace were a safety concern and a drain on profits.
"We were losing dozens of glasses a week to accidents. Since switching to the Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate cocktail tumblers, our breakage costs have dropped to virtually zero. The staff are happier, the terrace is safer, and our customers get a great-looking drink. It's just common sense."
Leo Carter – Pub Manager, The Salty Siren
The pub has reduced its annual glassware budget by over 60% and significantly improved operational efficiency during peak service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash thoroughly in a commercial dishwasher before the first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Check that your glasswasher racks are suitable, ensuring glasses are not packed too tightly to prevent rubbing.
- When stacking for storage, avoid forcing them together; invert every second glass if space is tight.
Keeping It Going
- To maintain clarity, always use non-abrasive detergents and a rinse aid in your dishwasher.
- Never use abrasive scourers, steel wool, or harsh chemicals as they will permanently scratch the surface.
- For a perfect finish, allow to air dry or polish with a soft, clean microfibre cloth to remove water spots.
- Regularly inspect for any deep scratches which could potentially harbour bacteria over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses really 'unbreakable'?
A: They are made from virtually unbreakable polycarbonate. In any normal bar or event scenario, they will not shatter or crack if dropped. They are incredibly tough and designed for safety.
Q: Do they look and feel like real glass?
A: They have excellent clarity and a solid feel, closely mimicking the look of real glass. Many customers won't notice the difference until they pick one up.
Q: Are the Olympia Kristallon DM271 glasses commercial dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed to withstand the high temperatures and detergents of commercial glasswashers for quick and easy cleaning.
Q: Will they stain from colourful drinks like Aperol Spritz or cranberry juice?
A: Polycarbonate is highly resistant to staining. As long as they are washed properly after use, they should not stain from common cocktail ingredients.
Q: What is the best way to prevent them from scratching?
A: Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads. In the dishwasher, ensure they aren't rubbing against metal or sharp objects. Store them carefully without forcing them together.
Q: What is the 250ml capacity in fluid ounces?
A: The capacity is approximately 8.8 fluid ounces (UK), often rounded to 8¾oz for menu purposes.
Q: Can I use these for hot drinks like coffee or tea?
A: No, these are designed for cold beverages only. Using them for very hot liquids is not recommended as it can damage the material over time.
Q: Are they CE marked?
A: These glasses do not have a CE line mark for prescribed measures. They are designed to be filled to the brim or used for unprescribed drinks like cocktails.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Plastic: Why Polycarbonate is the Smarter Choice
When you hear 'plastic', you might think of a flimsy, disposable cup. Polycarbonate is in a completely different league. It’s a high-performance thermoplastic polymer, the same type of material trusted to make helmet visors, safety goggles, and even bullet-resistant barriers. Think of it as the superhero of drinkware materials – it has the crystal clarity of glass combined with incredible impact resistance.
This means that unlike cheaper plastics, these unbreakable cocktail glasses won't warp, crack, or cloud easily after a few washes. They maintain their premium look and feel for far longer, giving you a much better return on your investment while keeping everyone safe. It's advanced material science, cleverly disguised as a beautiful cocktail glass.
Who Should Buy This?
