Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tea Room in York needed to standardise their tableware. Their mismatched collection of milk jugs looked unprofessional and was prone to chipping during their busy afternoon tea service, leading to constant replacement costs.
"We were forever buying new jugs to replace broken ones. These Olympia jugs are tough as nails but still look incredibly smart on the tables. It’s made a huge difference to our presentation and our bottom line."
David Chen – Owner, The Copper Kettle Tea Room
The switch resulted in a 30% reduction in their monthly crockery replacement costs and a noticeable improvement in table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, unpack and inspect each jug for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give the whole batch a thorough wash in a dishwasher or by hand with detergent to remove any residue.
- Stack carefully on shelves, avoiding direct rim-to-rim contact to protect the glaze and prevent chipping.
- For hot liquids, you can pre-warm the jugs with hot water to help maintain temperature during service.
Keeping It Going
- These jugs are fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and effective cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the protective glaze over time.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, removing any damaged items from service to maintain safety and standards.
- To remove stubborn tea or coffee stains, occasionally soak the jugs in a non-abrasive de-staining solution.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' really means? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at incredibly high temperatures until the clay particles fuse together and become non-porous, almost like glass. Think of it like the difference between a plain digestive biscuit and a glazed doughnut. One will soak up your tea if you dunk it for too long, while the glazed one keeps the liquid out. Vitrified porcelain is the doughnut – it won’t absorb water, flavours, or odours from things like coffee or gravy. This makes it far more hygienic, incredibly resistant to stains, and much tougher against chips and cracks. That BS4034 stamp is the official seal of approval that it's strong enough to handle the demands of a professional kitchen.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés & Coffee Shops: For serving single portions of milk with tea and coffee, adding a professional touch to every order.
- Hotels & B&Bs: Ideal for the breakfast rush, in-room service trays, and presenting sauces during dinner service.
