Porcelain Mugs

How to choose the right Porcelain Mugs

• Match mug capacity to your drinks menu, from smaller sizes for americanos and teas to larger volumes for lattes and speciality coffees.
• Consider mug shape and profile, choosing stacking or compact designs where storage space is limited behind the bar or in the kitchen.
• Select colours and styles that fit your brand, from classic white porcelain for formal dining to bold black or contemporary shapes for modern cafes.
• Check pack sizes and quantities so you have enough mugs to cover peak service, breakages and back-of-house washing cycles.
• Look for commercial-grade porcelain that is chip-resistant and suitable for heavy daily use in Irish hospitality venues.
• Ensure mugs are compatible with your existing saucers, shelves and dish racks to streamline service and storage.

Care and maintenance

• Wash mugs in a commercial dishwasher using non-abrasive detergents to maintain glaze, colour and hygiene standards.
• Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes, such as pouring boiling water into ice-cold mugs, to reduce the risk of cracking.
• Inspect rims and handles regularly for chips or damage and remove any compromised mugs from service for guest safety.
• Stack only mugs designed for stacking and avoid overloading shelves to prevent tipping and accidental breakages.
• Pre-soak heavily stained mugs and use approved stain removers to keep interiors bright and presentable.
• Store mugs on stable, dry shelving away from high-traffic areas to minimise knocks and accidental drops.
