Product Description
The Churchill Ultimo large café latte cup is a vitrified porcelain cup developed specifically for serving espresso-based long drinks such as lattes and flat whites. At 495ml, it sits in the larger end of the latte cup range, accommodating a standard double-shot base with a generous volume of steamed milk — a common serve format in café bars, coffee houses, and casual dining operations.
The cup's design reflects considered input on how coffee performs in the vessel. A curved base promotes crema formation, while the walls are thicker towards the base to help retain heat during service and taper towards the rim to make drinking more comfortable. In practice, this means a latte served in this cup will hold its temperature reasonably well on the pass, and the drinking experience is noticeably better than with a generic, uniform-wall cup.
Vitrified porcelain is the appropriate material for busy commercial environments. It handles the daily cycle of commercial dishwashing without the rapid surface degradation seen in lower-fired ceramics, and it resists the scratching and chipping caused by normal cutlery contact and stacking. This matters in operations running multiple covers a day, where crockery takes significant punishment over the course of a week.
- Curved base supports crema development in espresso-based drinks
- Tapered rim improves the drinking experience for guests
- Thicker base walls aid heat retention from bar to table
- Vitrified porcelain construction withstands commercial dishwasher cycles
- Clean, white finish suits a wide range of branding and presentation styles
These cups are well suited to coffee-led operations — independent cafés, café bars, hotel breakfast and lounge service, gastro pubs, and brasseries. They are sold in packs of six, which works as a starter quantity or top-up purchase for smaller venues; higher-volume operations should consider ordering in larger quantities to ensure adequate cover during service.
If you are specifying crockery across a full opening or reviewing your current coffee cup range, we are happy to talk through volumes, patterns, and what tends to hold up best in different types of operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified porcelain is the standard material for commercial crockery precisely because it tolerates the high temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers far better than standard ceramics. Over time, all crockery will show some wear, but vitrified porcelain holds up significantly longer under daily high-cycle washing than lower-grade alternatives.
- This depends on your covers and your wash cycle frequency, but most café operations running a continuous coffee service would typically want at least four to six packs as a working stock — more if your dishwasher turnaround is slow or you have a high table count. Ordering a buffer above your minimum working set is advisable to account for breakage over time.
- The 495ml capacity suits a standard double-shot latte or flat white with a full milk pour, which is the most common serve format in UK café operations. If your menu includes smaller single-shot serves or you want a different cup-to-milk ratio, a smaller latte cup in the same range may be more appropriate — it is worth considering your standard recipes before specifying cup size across your operation.
