Mugs

How to choose the right Commercial Mugs

• Match mug capacity to your menu, from compact espresso and cafe cups to generous 300ml+ latte and breakfast mugs.
• Choose materials such as vitrified porcelain, stoneware, opal or SAN plastic based on durability, weight and style needs.
• Consider stackable designs if storage space is tight in back of house or on barista stations.
• Align colours and shapes with your brand, from plain white hotelware to bold contemporary finishes.
• Check pack sizes and pricing to ensure you have enough mugs for peak service and breakage cover.
• Confirm dishwasher and microwave suitability where you need fast turnaround and flexible reheating.

Care and maintenance

• Wash mugs promptly after service using commercial dishwasher cycles and appropriate detergents to prevent staining.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on decorated or coloured finishes to maintain appearance.
• Inspect rims and handles regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service for safety.
• Stack only where mugs are designed to be stackable to reduce the risk of chipping and breakage.
• Pre-soak heavily stained mugs in approved cleaning solutions to keep interiors bright and hygienic.
• Store mugs dry and upright on stable shelves or racks to promote airflow and prevent odours.

Pair your mugs with matching cups, saucers, plates and wider crockery, as well as beverage service and drinkware ranges to complete your table and counter presentation.
