Product Description
The Steelite Revolution Granite cup is a small-format espresso cup produced in vitrified china, finished with a reactive glaze that gives each piece a distinctive, slightly varied appearance. The glaze is applied by hand using a revolving motion, meaning the brush path becomes part of the finished surface once fired — so no two cups look entirely identical, though all sit within the same earthy granite palette. At 85ml, the cup is sized for a standard single or double espresso serve.
Vitrified china is the practical choice for high-turnover coffee service. It withstands the thermal shock of repeated machine washing and the general handling that comes with a busy café or restaurant pass, and the dense body resists chipping better than standard earthenware. The reactive glaze, while decorative in character, is applied to commercial-grade ware and designed to hold up in a working environment rather than a display cabinet.
For front-of-house use, the Revolution Granite finish sits comfortably in settings that favour a more artisanal or natural aesthetic — independent coffee shops, farm-to-table restaurants, and casual dining operators often find this range suits their table presentation well. It is less suited to formal fine-dining covers where a more uniform, white or bone china cup would be the expected choice.
Supplied as a pack of 12, which suits operators stocking a new station or replacing attrition losses across an existing set. If your service volume requires larger case quantities or you are fitting out multiple sites, it is worth discussing your full requirements with the team before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — vitrified china is well suited to busy café service, handling repeated machine washing and daily handling reliably. The hand-applied glaze is fired to commercial standards, so it is not purely decorative ware. That said, as with any reactive-glaze piece, minor surface variation between cups is expected and normal.
- Vitrified china is designed for commercial dishwasher use and will tolerate the temperatures and detergents involved in a standard rack wash cycle. It is worth checking that your machine's wash cycle is appropriate for china rather than plasticware settings, but for most commercial glasswashers and dishwashers this will not be an issue.
- The reactive glaze and granite aesthetic tend to suit informal, artisanal, or rustic dining settings rather than formal fine-dining covers, where guests typically expect a more uniform white or bone china finish. If you are unsure whether the style fits your table concept, the team are happy to discuss the wider Steelite range and help you find a closer match.
