Product Description
The Steelite Asteria City Mug is a 285ml (10oz) ceramic mug from Steelite's Asteria collection, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic and sold in cases of 12. It is a straightforward, professionally proportioned mug suited to hot beverage service in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and contract catering environments.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material choice for commercial tableware. It offers a harder, denser body than standard vitrified china, which translates to better resistance to chipping, crazing, and the mechanical stress of high-volume dishwasher cycles. For busy operations running multiple sittings a day, that durability matters in practical terms — fewer replacements and a longer service life per piece.
From an operational standpoint, the Asteria City Mug suits standard filter coffee, americano, and tea service at a 285ml volume, which sits at the conventional café mug size. The consistent sizing across a box of 12 means straightforward stock management and easy rotation.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic body offers good resistance to chipping and crazing
- 285ml capacity suits standard hot beverage service across most menus
- Dishwasher-safe construction supports high-volume commercial use
- Sold in boxes of 12 for straightforward stock replenishment
- Part of a wider Asteria collection, supporting consistent tableware presentation
This mug is a practical fit for most café and restaurant settings. Operations with very high covers or particularly demanding wash cycles should consider whether a heavier-duty or higher-chip-resistance specification is warranted — the range does include options across different durability tiers.
