Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Based in the historic lanes of Norwich, 'The Daily Grind' café needed to upgrade its mismatched and heavily chipped cups to create a more professional image and cut down on replacement costs.
"We were binning cups almost weekly due to chips around the rim. It was unprofessional and costing a fortune. Since switching to these Olympia cups six months ago, we haven't had to throw away a single one. They still look brand new, and our regulars have noticed the quality."
Michael Davies – Owner, The Daily Grind
The switch resulted in an immediate stop to breakage costs, saving the business an estimated £40 per month on crockery replacements.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each cup for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Run the full set through a hot cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- Designate a stable, clean, and dry shelf for storage, ideally with a non-slip mat underneath the stack.
- Brief your team on the proper handling and stacking procedures to maximise the lifespan of the cups.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent chipping, load the cups into a designated glass or cup rack in your dishwasher, ensuring they don't knock together.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive chemicals, which can dull the protective glaze over time. A standard detergent is all you need.
- While they are stackable, avoid creating towers that are too high, as this can make them unstable and prone to toppling.
- Regularly check the cups for any signs of damage. Thanks to the warranty, any with edge chips can be easily addressed.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Business
Ever wondered what 'fully vitrified' really means? It’s a simple process with a massive impact on durability. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which melts the material slightly, turning it into a glass-like state. This closes all the microscopic pores naturally found in ceramic.
Think of it like the difference between a terracotta plant pot and a glass bottle. The pot absorbs water, while the bottle doesn't let a drop in. By vitrifying the porcelain, the cup becomes non-porous. This means it won't absorb moisture, flavours, or coffee stains over time. It makes the cup far stronger, more hygienic, and much less likely to chip, which is why we can offer a lifetime edge-chip warranty. It’s the secret behind truly commercial-grade crockery.
