Product Description
These 85ml low cups from Steelite's Craft Liquorice range are a compact espresso-style cup designed for hot drinks service in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality operations. The deep liquorice black colourwash is applied as a reactive glaze, meaning each piece carries subtle variation in tone and finish — a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than an inconsistency.
In a busy drinks service, cups at this size see heavy rotation. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, they're built to withstand repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the glaze degrading or the body chipping prematurely. The reactive glaze does require straightforward handling — like all decorated ceramicware, avoiding stacking that causes surface abrasion will extend the appearance over time.
Practically, the range suits operations where presentation matters as much as throughput:
- Reactive glaze gives each cup individual character without custom ordering
- Alumina vitrified ceramic body is suitable for commercial dishwashers
- 85ml capacity is appropriate for single and double espresso service
- Pairs with the Steelite Craft Liquorice saucer range for a coordinated presentation
- Consistent sizing across the range supports uniform tray and counter presentation
These cups work well for espresso, ristretto, and small specialty coffee formats. If your service runs a broader hot drinks menu requiring a range of cup sizes, Steelite's Craft Liquorice collection includes complementary pieces that can be mixed across the same table setting.
If you're building out a drinks service or matching existing tableware, we're happy to talk through the range and help you choose the right pieces for your format.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — alumina vitrified ceramic is a robust material well suited to commercial dishwashing and the physical demands of a busy drinks service. As with any decorated ceramicware, careful stacking and handling will help maintain the glaze appearance over time.
- At 85ml, these cups are sized for single or double espresso and ristretto service. They're not suited to longer drinks such as flat whites or cappuccinos, for which you would need a larger cup from the same range.
- Steelite's Craft Liquorice range is designed to work cohesively across multiple sizes and formats, so mixing cup sizes within the same table setting is a common approach for operations offering a varied hot drinks menu.
