Steelite Brown Dapple Espresso Cups 85ml (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a small espresso-size cup from Steelite's Brown Dapple tableware range. It holds approximately 80ml, making it suitable for espresso and short coffee serves. The defining visual feature is the dark brown dappled detailing around the upper rim, which gives the piece a warm, informal character without being fussy. The cream body sits comfortably alongside a wide range of saucers and side plates within the same range.

Built from alumina vitrified ceramic, these cups are designed to hold up under the repetitive daily use typical of a busy café or coffee shop environment. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a recognised choice for commercial tableware because it resists chipping better than standard porcelain and tolerates the thermal cycling of a commercial dishwasher over time. For an operation running multiple sittings a day, that durability matters in terms of breakage rates and replacement costs.

• Consistent glaze and dapple finish supports a coherent table setting
• Dishwasher-safe construction suited to high-turnover café service
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking to service volume
• Compact size keeps table footprint small during busy covers

These cups are best suited to cafés, coffee shops, and hospitality venues that want a relaxed, artisan aesthetic rather than a formal fine-dining look. The pack size of 12 works well for smaller independent operators; larger sites with high covers may want to consider buying multiple packs or a larger-format pack if available in the range.

If you're building out a full table setting or want to confirm how the Brown Dapple range fits your existing service style, the team is happy to help.
