Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Based in the historic lanes of Norwich, 'The Daily Pour' café was struggling with an ever-growing menu of milk alternatives. The baristas found it challenging to quickly distinguish between jugs during the hectic morning service, leading to occasional mix-ups.
"We needed a simple, visual system that didn't slow us down. These blue silicone handle covers were the perfect answer. They slip on, stay put, and the team can now grab the right milk at a glance. It's cut out errors entirely and just makes the bar run smoother."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Daily Pour
Since implementing the sleeves, the café has reported a 100% reduction in milk-related order errors and a noticeable improvement in the speed of their drink service during peak hours.

Setting It Up
- Ensure your Olympia 570ml jug and handle are clean and dry before application.
- Gently stretch the silicone sleeve over the metal handle of the jug.
- Slide it down until it sits snugly and securely in the middle of the handle.
- Give it a quick tug to ensure it's firmly in place and won't slip during use.
Keeping It Going

- The sleeve is fully dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.

You’ve seen colour-coded chopping boards for raw meat and vegetables – it’s a basic food hygiene principle. This silicone jug handle protector blue applies that same simple, effective logic to your coffee station. It’s not just a blue handle cover; it’s a vital part of your allergen management system. When a barista is handling multiple orders, the instant visual cue of 'blue means dairy-free' (or whatever system you choose) eliminates guesswork. This simple system minimises the risk of serving cow's milk to a customer with a lactose allergy, a mistake that could be damaging to their health and your reputation. It turns a potential hazard into a smooth, foolproof process.
