Product Description
The Churchill Alchemy range is a well-established choice in commercial hospitality, and these 170ml stacking coffee cups are a practical, everyday workhorse for café, restaurant, and hotel beverage service. Made from fine china with a vitrified finish, they offer the clean white appearance operators expect from front-of-house tableware while standing up to the handling, stacking, and repeated machine washing that commercial service demands.
Vitrified fine china is a sensible material choice for busy operations. The dense, non-porous surface resists staining and crazing over time, and the cups maintain their bright white finish even after sustained use. The stacking profile helps with storage efficiency behind the counter or in service areas where space is at a premium. At 170ml, the capacity suits standard espresso-based drinks served with a splash of milk — a flat white, cortado, or small cappuccino — making them a natural fit for coffee-led menus.
Practical benefits for operators include:
- Vitrified finish resists chipping, crazing, and staining under daily service conditions
- Stackable design keeps storage organised and reduces counter clutter
- Consistent white glaze pairs with a wide range of saucer and tableware options
- Churchill's five-year edge chip warranty offers reassurance on replacement costs
- Fine china construction gives a quality feel without excessive weight
These cups are dishwasher safe and suited to commercial glass and dishwasher machines running at standard commercial temperatures. No special handling is required beyond normal crockery care. The pack of 24 suits most opening orders for a small to medium cover operation, though higher-volume sites may find it more practical to hold additional packs in reserve to account for attrition over time.
The Alchemy White range is a sensible choice for cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotel breakfast and lounge service, and workplace catering operations where reliable, consistent-looking crockery matters. It sits in the mid-range of Churchill's portfolio — suitable where quality appearance is important but premium bespoke ranges are unnecessary.
If you are specifying crockery across a new opening or want guidance on matching pieces within the Alchemy range, the team is happy to assist with quantities and selection before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A common rule of thumb is to hold three times your seated cover count in cups to account for cups in use, in the wash cycle, and in reserve. For a 30-cover operation, 90 cups would be a reasonable starting point, with additional stock held to cover ongoing attrition. If you are unsure what quantity suits your service pattern, we can advise based on your cover count and typical turnaround time.
- Yes. The vitrified fine china construction is designed to withstand repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. They are compatible with standard rack and glasswasher machines operating at normal commercial temperatures. Using appropriate commercial detergent and rinse aid will help preserve the glaze finish over time.
- Yes, Churchill produces matching saucers within the Alchemy White range designed to complement these cups. If you are building a full coffee service setup, we can help confirm the correct saucer reference and check availability alongside your cup order.
