- Keep in Mind: The 'hand-crafted' variations mean they won't stack as uniformly as standard cups.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Teaspoon, a bustling café in the heart of Bath, wanted to replace their generic, chipped crockery with something that reflected their commitment to quality and local charm.
"We needed cups that felt special but could handle a relentless pace day in, day out. The Steelite Craft range was the perfect fit. Our customers always comment on how lovely they are to hold and drink from, and they've stood up to our commercial dishwasher without a single issue."
Ben Carter – Manager
Since introducing the Steelite Craft cups six months ago, the café has seen a noticeable reduction in breakages, saving an estimated 15% on their annual crockery budget.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect all cups for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Run all cups through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
- Store on shelves with non-slip matting to reduce movement and the risk of chipping.
- To avoid instability and pressure damage, avoid stacking the cups too high.
Keeping It Going
- These cups are fully commercial dishwasher safe. For best results, avoid overcrowding the rack.
- The glaze is highly stain-resistant, but it's good practice to rinse away strong liquids like espresso promptly.
- Regularly check for any fine cracks or chips; remove any damaged items from service to ensure safety.
- Being fully microwave-safe, they're perfect for quickly and safely reheating drinks for customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these cups genuinely unique from one another?
A: Yes, absolutely. The special reactive glaze process means that no two Steelite Craft V534 white coffee cup pieces are ever exactly identical, giving your collection a bespoke feel.

Q: Can I use these cups in the microwave?
A: Yes, they are designed to be fully microwave-safe, which is ideal for quickly reheating drinks if needed.
Q: Are they difficult to keep clean?
A: Not at all. They are designed for commercial dishwashers and the glaze has excellent stain resistance to coffee and tea.
Q: What is the capacity in fluid ounces?
A: The 340ml capacity is equivalent to approximately 12oz, making it a great size for lattes or large filter coffees.
Q: Is this a good cup for pouring latte art?
A: Yes, its low, wide bowl shape provides a fantastic canvas for your baristas to pour and display beautiful latte art.
Q: What does 'thermal shock resistance' mean for daily use?
A: It means the cup can withstand rapid temperature changes—for example, going from a hot dishwasher to being filled with a cold drink—without cracking.
Q: Is this part of a bigger tableware collection?
A: Yes, this cup is part of the extensive Steelite Craft collection, allowing you to create a cohesive look with matching plates, bowls, and other crockery.

Explore more from SteeliteWhat Makes Alumina Vitrified Clay So Tough?
Ever wondered why some ceramics chip at the slightest knock while others last for years? It's often down to something called 'vitrification'. Think of it like this: when the clay is fired at incredibly high temperatures, its particles fuse together, turning it into a non-porous, glass-like material. The 'Alumina' is an added ingredient, a bit like adding carbon fibre to a bike frame. It massively boosts the strength, making this Steelite Craft 340ml cup exceptionally resistant to chips, cracks, and the thermal shock of going from a hot dishwasher to a cold shelf. It's commercial-grade toughness hidden inside a beautiful, hand-crafted design.
