Product Description
The Steelite Bead Stacking Cup is a vitrified china cup in a clean, classic style, sold in packs of twelve. At 200ml it sits comfortably in the standard range for hot beverage service, suitable for coffee, tea, and similar drinks across a wide variety of catering settings.
Vitrified china is the practical choice for high-throughput cup service. The material is fired at high temperature, which produces a dense, non-porous body that resists chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware over repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. For operations running multiple sittings a day, that durability translates directly into a lower rate of replacement and more consistent presentation across the life of the range.
The stacking profile is a practical consideration in any back-of-house environment. Cups that stack cleanly take up less shelf and pass-through space, speed up restocking between services, and reduce the risk of knock-over damage during handling. Key operational advantages include:
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint behind the counter
- Vitrified china body withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
- Consistent sizing supports uniform presentation across covers
- Classic Bead styling suits a broad range of dining environments
- Pack-of-twelve quantity suits initial builds or topping up existing sets
No special installation or service requirements apply. The main practical consideration is ensuring your dishwasher programme and cup storage racking are suited to the cup dimensions before committing to volume orders.
These cups are well suited to hotels, restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations looking for a reliable, unfussy cup that works day-to-day without drawing attention to itself. The Bead range carries a broad range of matching pieces, so building or extending a coordinated table setting is straightforward. For very high-volume banqueting or stadium environments, it is worth discussing quantity and specification with the team before ordering.
If you are building a full table setting or are unsure which pieces from the Bead range best suit your service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard material for commercial catering crockery precisely because it withstands repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles. Over time you may see some surface wear depending on water chemistry and programme settings, but the material performs significantly better than standard earthenware in this environment.
- A useful rule of thumb is to hold around two to three times your cover count in cups to allow for cups in use, cups in the wash, and a breakage buffer. A 30-cover café running continuous service through the day would typically want at least three to four packs as a working stock, with additional packs held in reserve. If you are unsure, the team can help you work out a sensible opening order.
- Yes, Steelite produces a range of matching Bead pieces including saucers and other tableware items. If you are building or extending a coordinated setting, it is worth confirming which pieces are currently available before placing an order, as range availability can change. The team can advise on what is in stock and what lead times apply.
