Price Match

The Churchill Inked Tide espresso cup is a 100ml café-style cup from Churchill's Inked range, finished in white with a design influenced by coastal forms. It sits comfortably within modern hospitality environments and works equally well in straightforward café settings where clean, consistent presentation matters.

Churchill produces these cups using a super-vitrified body, which means the clay is fired to a higher density than standard porcelain. In practical terms, this reduces moisture absorption and helps the cup retain heat slightly longer — both relevant in a busy espresso service where cups are handled continuously through a shift. The glaze is formulated to resist staining and metal marking from cutlery contact, which helps maintain appearance over time without additional effort from front-of-house staff.

For day-to-day operational use, the key practical points are straightforward:

  • Dishwasher safe, suitable for commercial glasswashers and dishwashers in regular cycle use
  • Microwave safe where reheating is occasionally needed
  • Churchill's 5-year edge chip guarantee provides a degree of assurance on durability
  • The white finish is neutral enough to suit most table settings and branding directions

These cups are sold in packs of 12, which suits smaller operations or initial range trials. Sites running high-volume espresso service across multiple stations may want to consider larger pack quantities or a heavier-duty cup specification to keep pace with breakage and throughput demands.

Well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotel breakfast service, and any setting requiring a reliable, presentable espresso cup at a sensible price point. If you're building out a full table setting or need guidance on matching saucers and complementary pieces within the Inked Tide range, the team is happy to help you put together a coherent specification.

Frequently asked questions

Are these cups suitable for use in a commercial glasswasher?

Yes, the Inked Tide espresso cups are dishwasher safe and are designed to withstand the temperatures and cycle frequencies typical of commercial glasswashers and dishwashers. Churchill's super-vitrified construction is specifically intended for the demands of professional hospitality environments.

How many packs would a busy café typically need to open with?

That depends on your covers, table turn speed, and dishwasher cycle time. As a general guide, many operators aim to hold two to three times their peak seated cover count in crockery to allow for breakages and dishwasher cycles running concurrently with service. If you're unsure what quantity suits your operation, it's worth talking through your service pattern with us before ordering.

Does Churchill's 5-year edge chip guarantee cover breakages in normal service?

The guarantee specifically covers edge chipping rather than general breakage — chips to the rim that occur under normal use conditions. It does not typically cover chips or cracks resulting from impact or mishandling. Churchill's terms apply, so it's worth reviewing these if the guarantee forms part of your purchasing decision.
