Hot Cups

These Fiesta double-wall hot cups are made from paper with a PLA lining — a plant-based material derived from renewable sources rather than fossil-fuel plastics. That construction means they are suitable for sending to commercial composting facilities, where they will break down within a recognised composting cycle, rather than going to landfill alongside conventional plastic-lined cups.

The double-wall design serves a straightforward practical purpose: the air gap between the two layers provides enough insulation that customers can hold a filled cup comfortably without a separate sleeve, and the drink stays at a serviceable temperature for longer. For counter staff, that means fewer complaints about cups that are too hot to handle and less need to double-cup.

Key points worth noting for your operation:

• PLA and paper construction — no fossil-fuel plastic lining
• Suitable for commercial composting facilities within 12 weeks
• Double-wall insulation removes the need for a separate cup sleeve
• FSC Mix certified paper sourcing
• Supplied in packs of 25 — straightforward to stock in smaller quantities

It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that commercial composting collection is available at your site before committing to a compostable cup format. Without access to a commercial composting stream, the environmental benefit of the PLA lining is largely lost, as these cups are not suitable for home composting or standard recycling. For high-volume sites processing several hundred covers a day, larger pack formats may offer a more practical stock unit.

These cups are a sensible choice for cafés, hotel breakfast operations, event catering, and any food service site that has committed to reducing single-use plastics and has the waste infrastructure to support it. If you are unsure whether they are the right fit for your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through.

These are single wall compostable hot cups from Fiesta's compostable range, available in a bulk pack of 1000. Made from paper with a PLA (plant-based polylactic acid) lining, they are designed to hold hot beverages without the need for a petroleum-based plastic coating. The PLA lining gives the cup adequate rigidity and liquid resistance for standard hot drinks service.

In a busy café, coffee shop, or food market environment, cups at this volume need to perform consistently without splitting, leaking, or losing structural integrity when held. The paper and PLA construction handles typical hot drink temperatures reliably and provides enough stiffness for customers to hold comfortably without a sleeve in most cases, though high-volume outlets serving very hot drinks may find a sleeve useful for customer comfort.

The practical case for this format comes down to a few clear operational points:

• Fully compostable construction supports waste reduction and compliance with operator sustainability commitments
• FSC-certified paper sourcing for operators who need to evidence responsible procurement
• 1000-unit pack reduces reorder frequency and simplifies stock management
• Plant-based PLA lining avoids the recycling complications associated with conventional polyethylene-lined cups
• Compatible with standard 8oz cup lids widely available across the market

It is worth noting that compostable cups require access to industrial composting facilities to break down correctly — home compost bins are generally not sufficient. Operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept PLA-lined cups before committing to this format at scale.

These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee stands, festivals, food markets, and any operator looking to reduce single-use plastic in their beverage service. They work equally well indoors and outdoors. For sites with very high throughput or specific branded cup requirements, it is worth discussing your volume and waste infrastructure with us before ordering.

These are double-wall hot cups with a PLA and paper construction, designed as a compostable alternative to conventional plastic-lined disposable cups. The 340ml capacity is a standard 12oz size, making them compatible with most espresso-based drinks served in cafés, hospitality venues, and catering operations.

In a busy drinks service environment, the double-wall construction does useful practical work — it provides enough insulation to keep drinks at serving temperature for longer, and reduces heat transfer to the outer wall so customers can hold the cup comfortably without a separate sleeve. For high-throughput counters where speed matters, removing that extra step is a small but consistent operational gain.

• Double-wall construction insulates without needing a separate cup sleeve
• PLA plant-based lining replaces conventional plastic coating
• Compostable at commercial composting facilities within 12 weeks
• Standard 12oz size fits most espresso machine cup dispensers and lids
• Pack of 500 suits medium to high-volume service periods

On the practical side, it is worth noting that these cups require access to a commercial composting facility to realise their end-of-life benefit — they will not break down meaningfully in general landfill or home compost. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts commercially compostable packaging before committing to these as part of a sustainability programme.

These cups are well suited to cafés, hotels, contract caterers, and event operators looking to reduce their reliance on plastic-lined disposables. For very high-volume sites going through significantly more than 500 cups per service, larger pack formats may be worth considering to reduce per-unit cost and frequency of restocking.

If you are unsure whether these fit your current waste stream or service setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Fiesta double-wall hot cups are made from paper with a PLA (plant-based) lining in place of the conventional plastic coating found in standard disposable cups. The result is a cup that functions in the same way operationally but is compostable at a certified commercial composting facility, where it will break down within approximately 12 weeks.

The double-wall construction provides a degree of insulation that makes the cup comfortable to hold without a sleeve, which reduces the need for additional materials at the point of service. Drinks retain heat reasonably well, which matters in a busy café or takeaway environment where a customer may not drink immediately.

In practical terms, these cups suit operators who want to reduce their reliance on conventional single-use plastics without changing their workflow. Key operational points worth noting:

• Compostable at commercial composting facilities — not standard household bins
• PLA lining means they are not suitable for conventional paper recycling streams
• Double-wall design removes the need for a separate insulating sleeve in most cases
• Sized for standard 8oz espresso-based drinks and filter coffee

It is worth being aware that compostability claims are only fully realised when the cups are sent to an industrial composting site. If your waste contractor does not handle compostables separately, the environmental benefit is reduced. Operators should verify their waste collection arrangements before committing to compostable packaging as part of a broader sustainability policy.

This pack of 25 suits lower-volume operations or those trialling compostable cups before switching fully. For higher-volume sites, larger pack sizes may be more practical from both a cost and logistics standpoint.

If you are reviewing your disposables range or have questions about compostable packaging requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These are compostable double-wall hot cups from Fiesta's compostable range, designed for serving hot beverages in café, coffee shop, and mobile catering environments. The cups are made from paper with a PLA (polylactic acid) plant-based lining in place of the conventional polyethylene coating found in standard disposable cups.

The double-wall construction reduces heat transfer to the outer surface, meaning customers can hold the cup comfortably without a separate cardboard sleeve. Drinks stay hotter for longer, which matters when service is busy and cups may sit briefly before being handed over.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:

• PLA lining is plant-derived, avoiding the fossil-based plastics used in standard hot cups
• Certified compostable — breaks down at a commercial composting facility within approximately 12 weeks
• Double-wall design removes the need for separate cup sleeves, reducing per-serve cost and waste
• 500-cup pack suits moderate to high-volume service without frequent reordering
• Consistent sizing makes them compatible with most standard cup lids designed for 8oz formats

It is worth being clear on the composting requirement: these cups are compostable at an industrial or commercial composting facility, not in a standard home compost bin. If your site does not have access to a commercial composting collection, the sustainability benefit is reduced, though the plant-based materials still carry a lower carbon footprint than conventional alternatives. Operators considering a compostable cup programme should confirm their waste contractor can accept PLA-lined packaging before committing to volume.

These cups are well suited to coffee shops, café counters, and mobile or event catering where a credible sustainability story matters to customers. If your volume is significantly higher, bulk pack options may offer better unit economics.

If you're unsure whether these cups are the right fit for your service setup or waste arrangements, the team is happy to talk it through.

These are single wall compostable hot cups from Fiesta's Green range, supplied in packs of 50. Made from paper with a PLA (plant-based polylactic acid) lining in place of conventional petroleum-based plastic, they are certified compostable and suitable for serving hot drinks in a commercial setting.

In a busy café, coffee shop, or food stall environment, the paper and PLA construction provides adequate rigidity for standard hot beverages. The 12oz size covers the most common serve volume for takeaway flat whites, lattes, and Americanos, making this a practical everyday choice rather than a niche addition to the stock room.

The principal operational advantages over standard plastic-lined cups are:

• Compostable construction reduces landfill waste from disposable cups
• PLA lining performs comparably to plastic-lined alternatives for hot drinks service
• Paper build provides sufficient rigidity for confident single-hand carrying
• Suitable for industrial composting facilities where available
• Supports compliance with sustainability commitments and waste reduction targets

It is worth noting that compostability requires access to an industrial composting facility — these cups will not break down effectively in standard household food waste collections or general waste streams. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts industrially compostable packaging before switching from conventional cups.

This pack size of 50 is best suited to lower-volume sites or operators trialling compostable cups before committing to larger quantities. Higher-volume venues running multiple service points throughout the day may find larger pack formats more cost-effective to stock and manage.

If you are working through a switch to compostable serviceware and would like guidance on pack sizes or compatibility with lids and sleeves, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These are single wall compostable hot cups from Fiesta's compostable range, designed for serving hot drinks in cafés, canteens, kiosks, and catering operations where a disposable cup is needed but a conventional plastic-lined option isn't acceptable. The 340ml capacity is a standard 12oz size — the most commonly used size across the UK coffee sector — making these a practical fit for filter coffee, flat whites, americanos, and similar drinks.

The cups are constructed from paper with a PLA (polylactic acid) lining derived from plant-based materials rather than conventional petroleum-based plastic. This means the cups are certified compostable rather than simply recyclable, provided they are disposed of through an appropriate industrial composting stream. That distinction matters operationally: compostable cups cannot simply go into standard recycling, so the waste disposal arrangements at your venue need to support compostable packaging for the environmental benefit to be realised.

From a service perspective, the PLA and paper build provides adequate rigidity for hot drinks. These are single wall cups, which means they offer less insulation than a double wall design — customers may find the cup warm to hold without a sleeve for full-temperature drinks, which is worth factoring into your setup and whether cup sleeves are part of your service.

• Fully compostable construction — suitable where industrial composting waste streams are in place
• Standard 12oz size compatible with most café-grade lids
• Bulk pack of 1000 reduces reorder frequency for consistent-volume operations
• PLA lining performs adequately with standard hot drink temperatures

If you are unsure whether these cups fit your current waste disposal setup, or if you need guidance on matching cup sizes to your lid stock, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

These are single wall compostable hot cups from Fiesta's Green range, supplied in packs of 50. Made from paper with a PLA (plant-based polylactic acid) lining in place of the conventional petroleum-based coating, they are suitable for serving hot drinks and are fully compostable at the end of their life — provided access to appropriate industrial or home composting facilities is available.

In practice, they perform well for standard hot drink service. The PLA lining gives adequate heat retention and liquid resistance for coffee, tea, and similar beverages at typical serving temperatures. The paper and PLA construction provides reasonable rigidity, so cups hold their shape during normal counter and takeaway service without the need for a sleeve at the 8oz size — though operators serving very hot drinks or running busy takeaway lines may find a sleeve adds reassurance for customers.

The practical advantages for operators include:

• Compostable construction supports sustainability commitments and green accreditation goals
• Plant-based PLA lining avoids petroleum-derived coatings
• Sturdy enough for counter service and outdoor events without additional support
• Familiar cup format — no change to workflow or customer experience
• Supplied in packs of 50, suitable for low-to-mid volume operations or trialling before committing to larger stock

It is worth noting that compostability is only realised if cups are collected and processed through a suitable composting stream. Without that infrastructure in place, the environmental benefit is limited. Operators should consider their waste collection arrangements before switching to compostable disposables across the board.

These cups are well suited to independent coffee shops, cafés, food market traders, event caterers, and hospitality venues looking to reduce their reliance on conventional plastic-lined disposables. For higher-volume sites, larger pack quantities or a double wall compostable option may be worth considering. If you are unsure which format best fits your service volume or waste management setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.

These Fiesta double wall kraft cups are a straightforward, practical choice for any operation serving hot drinks on the go. Each cup is made from cardboard with a double wall construction, which provides a layer of insulation between the hot liquid and the customer's hand — removing the need for a separate sleeve. The kraft finish gives a clean, natural appearance that suits most café and catering environments.

In a busy service setting, the double wall design holds its own. The insulation helps maintain drink temperature from counter to customer, which matters when there is a queue or a short delay between pouring and collection. The cups hold up well under the heat and moisture of lattes, teas, and other large hot drinks without significant softening or deformation during a normal service window.

• Double wall insulation — no separate sleeve required
• 340ml capacity suits standard large hot drink formats
• Recyclable cardboard construction supports waste reduction commitments
• Kraft finish presents neatly across café and catering environments
• Pack of 500 provides practical stock volume for busy sites

These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee counters, contract catering, and event catering where a reliable disposable cup is needed in volume. At 500 per pack they offer sensible stock management for moderate to high throughput service points. For very high-volume sites running multiple service positions, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or a lid range sourced alongside would better suit your ordering pattern.

If you are unsure whether this cup size and specification fits your service setup, or you are looking to match these with compatible lids, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These are standard 12oz double wall kraft paper cups, suitable for serving hot drinks including filter coffee, Americanos, lattes, teas, and similar beverages. The double wall construction means no sleeve is needed — an air gap between the two layers of cardboard provides enough insulation to keep the drink hot and prevent the outer surface from becoming uncomfortable to hold.

In a busy café, canteen, or takeaway environment, that matters in practice. Staff can hand over a hot drink quickly without reaching for a separate sleeve, and customers can carry the cup comfortably from the counter. The kraft finish gives a natural, unfussy appearance that suits most settings without looking purely functional.

• Double wall construction removes the need for a separate cup sleeve
• Suitable for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and similar hot drinks
• Kraft cardboard material with a clean, neutral appearance
• Recyclable, which supports waste reduction commitments
• Pack of 25 — practical for lower-volume sites or trialling a new cup size

The 25-cup pack size suits smaller operations, event catering, or sites that want to trial this size alongside others before committing to larger quantities. Higher-volume sites running continuous hot drink service will likely find a larger pack format more cost-effective. The cups are cardboard, so storage away from moisture is important to prevent any softening of the wall before use.

These cups are well suited to cafés, staff canteens, hospitality operations, and food-to-go sites where a recyclable, double wall cup is preferred over a single wall version with a sleeve. If you are standardising cup sizes across your operation or are unsure whether 12oz is the right fit for your menu, we are happy to help you work through the options.

These are straightforward 225ml single wall cardboard cups from Fiesta, supplied in packs of 50 in a turquoise colourway. They are designed for hot and cold takeaway beverage service and carry a rolled rim that locates securely with standard-fit lids to reduce the likelihood of spillage during handover or transit.

In a busy café, kiosk, or grab-and-go setting, a consistent, presentable cup makes a small but genuine difference to the customer experience. The turquoise print gives these a clean, distinct appearance that stands out from plain white stock, which can be useful if you want your beverage service to feel considered without investing in fully branded packaging.

A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Single wall construction — a cup sleeve or holder is recommended when serving hot drinks to protect the customer's hand
• Rolled rim provides a reliable lid seat, reducing spill risk during service
• Recyclable cardboard construction, suitable for waste streams accepting coated board
• 225ml capacity suits a standard short or regular espresso-based drink
• Turquoise print offers a consistent look across a service counter or branded takeaway setup

These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, street food operators, event catering, and any front-of-house service where a tidy, mid-volume disposable cup is needed. They are sold in packs of 50, which suits lower-volume sites or operators trialling a new colourway alongside existing stock. Higher-volume operations may find it worth looking at larger case quantities to reduce per-unit cost and storage handling.

If you are unsure which cup size or style best fits your drink menu and lid stock, the team is happy to help you match up the right option.

These are single-walled hot cups from Vegware, made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with PLA — a plant-based material derived from corn starch rather than conventional plastic. At 455ml (16oz), they sit at the larger end of the standard hot drink cup range, making them a practical choice for large coffees, teas, and hot chocolates served in café, canteen, or catering environments.

The PLA lining provides adequate thermal resistance for typical hot beverage service and means the cup is fully compostable where industrial composting facilities are available. Unlike conventional cups, which are difficult to recycle due to their plastic lining, these can be processed through commercial composting schemes — a practical consideration for operators working towards waste reduction targets or sustainability commitments.

From an operational standpoint, the cups perform well in standard hot drink service. They hold their shape and integrity during normal handling, and Vegware produce matching compostable lids, which helps operators maintain a consistent, presentable offering without mixing compostable and non-compostable components.

• Compostable construction supports front-of-house sustainability messaging
• Matching compostable lids available to complete a fully compliant setup
• PLA lining avoids conventional plastic whilst maintaining cup integrity
• 16oz capacity suits large hot drinks common in café and canteen service
• Pack of 400 provides reasonable stock volume for regular service use

It is worth noting that compostability relies on access to an industrial composting facility — these cups will not break down effectively in general landfill or home compost. Operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept PLA-lined cups before committing to a full rollout.

These cups are well suited to cafés, staff canteens, contract caterers, and event operators looking to reduce plastic use in their disposable serviceware. If your volume requires a larger pack format, it is worth discussing your throughput with the team to make sure you are ordering the most practical quantity for your operation.

If you are unsure whether these fit your sustainability setup or want to check compatibility with your existing waste stream, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk it through.

These 12oz double wall hot cups from Vegware are a compostable alternative to conventional disposable cups, made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with plant-based PLA rather than petroleum-based plastic. Supplied in a pack of 500, they are a practical choice for cafés, coffee shops, canteens, and any catering operation serving hot drinks on a volume basis.

The double wall construction traps a layer of air between the two layers of paper, which provides enough insulation to keep drinks at temperature for a reasonable period without the need for a separate cardboard sleeve. Customers can hold the cup comfortably without a sleeve, which also reduces the amount of secondary waste generated at the point of service.

From an operational standpoint, switching to compostable cups can support a site's waste management commitments where access to industrial composting facilities exists. It is worth noting that Vegware cups are certified compostable but require industrial composting conditions — they will not break down reliably in home compost bins or general waste streams. Operators should confirm that a suitable collection or composting service is available before committing to this format at scale.

• Reduces reliance on petroleum-lined conventional disposable cups
• Double wall design eliminates the need for a separate cup sleeve
• Plant-based PLA lining suitable for hot drink service
• Pack of 500 suits regular volume purchasing for busy outlets

These cups are well suited to coffee shops, café bars, event catering, and staff canteens where sustainability credentials matter to the operation or its customers. If you are unsure whether compostable packaging fits your current waste disposal setup, our team are happy to talk it through.

These are Vegware's 8oz double wall kraft coffee cups, designed as a fully compostable alternative to conventional single-use cups. Rather than the polyethylene lining found in standard disposable cups, these use a plant-based PLA lining derived from renewable sources. Both the paper and the lining are compostable, meaning the finished cup breaks down through industrial composting rather than going to landfill.

The double wall construction does two things in a service environment: it provides a reasonable degree of insulation so customers can hold the cup comfortably without a sleeve, and it adds enough rigidity to reduce the risk of collapse under normal use. For busy counter or kiosk service, that practical durability makes handling quicker and reduces waste from damaged cups.

From an operational standpoint, switching to a fully compostable cup can simplify your waste stream if you already have access to a food waste or compostable collection. Key practical points worth considering:

• PLA-lined — accepted by many industrial composting facilities, though not suitable for home composting
• Double wall design reduces the need for additional cup sleeves in most situations
• Sold in 500s, suited to medium-to-high-volume hot drinks service
• Printed with compostability messaging, which can support customer-facing sustainability communication
• Compatible with standard 8oz lids from the Vegware range

These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, food-to-go counters, festival catering and event operations where compostable waste disposal is in place. It is worth confirming your local waste contractor accepts PLA-lined cups before committing to a large stock order, as acceptance does vary. For lower-volume operations, smaller pack sizes may be more practical.

If you are unsure whether these fit your current waste disposal setup or service volume, the team are happy to help you work through the options.

The Huhtamaki Enjoy range is a well-established line of double wall paper hot cups used across cafés, coffee shops, and catering operations throughout the UK. The 455ml (16oz) size sits at the larger end of the Enjoy range and is commonly used as the large option in a standard small, medium, large drink format.

The defining feature of these cups is the embossed bubble texture across the outer wall. This creates a double wall effect that provides meaningful heat insulation without the need for a separate cardboard sleeve. For busy counter service, this removes a handling step and reduces the materials cost per drink served.

• Double wall construction insulates without a separate sleeve
• Textured outer surface provides a comfortable, secure grip
• Paper construction — suitable for standard hot beverage service
• Mixed-colour pack includes Hot Cerise, Zesty Orange, Nice 'n' Natural, and Citrus Lime in equal quantities
• 560 cups per case, reducing reorder frequency for higher-volume sites

These cups are supplied in a mixed-colour case. If your operation requires a single consistent colour for branding purposes, that is worth confirming before ordering, as the Enjoy range is distributed in equal mixed quantities per case.

The 16oz format is suited to coffee shops, canteens, and event catering where a large hot drink option is part of the standard menu. For sites serving predominantly smaller drinks, the same Enjoy range is available in smaller capacities. For very high-volume operations requiring fully branded or custom-print cups, it may be worth exploring alternative options.

If you have questions about quantities, colour availability, or matching cup sizes across your menu, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Huhtamaki Enjoy range is a well-established line of double wall disposable paper cups designed for serving hot drinks in commercial environments. The 340ml (12oz) size sits in the middle of the Enjoy collection, making it a practical choice for standard or regular-sized drinks — typically a medium flat white, latte, or tea. Each cup is made from paper with a double wall construction and a textured bubble exterior that provides both insulation and a comfortable grip, removing the need for a separate cup sleeve.

In a busy café or takeaway setting, the double wall design means customers can hold their drink comfortably without risk of burning their hands, which reduces complaints and keeps service moving. The textured surface also offers a secure hold, which matters when drinks are handed over a counter quickly during a rush. The four-colour mix included in each case — Hot Cerise, Zesty Orange, Nice 'n' Natural, and Citrus Lime — gives a consistent, recognisable look that suits informal café branding well.

• Double wall paper construction eliminates the need for a separate sleeve
• Textured bubble exterior provides a secure, comfortable grip
• Four colours supplied in equal quantities across the 680-cup case
• 12oz capacity suits standard medium hot drink servings
• Lightweight paper material at 13.3g per cup keeps waste handling straightforward

These cups require no installation or special storage conditions beyond keeping them dry and away from moisture. A case of 680 suits a reasonably busy operation, though high-volume sites — such as festival catering or large canteens — may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to avoid frequent restocking. The Enjoy range is available in other sizes if your menu requires a smaller or larger cup alongside this one.

These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, street food traders, and any operation offering takeaway hot drinks as part of their service. If you are unsure which size or quantity best fits your anticipated volume, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Huhtamaki Enjoy range is a well-established line of double wall paper hot cups intended for serving hot beverages in café, contract catering, and hospitality environments. The double wall construction provides natural insulation through an air gap between the two layers of paper, removing the need for a separate cardboard sleeve at the point of service. The embossed bubble texture on the outer wall adds to grip and gives the cup a recognisable appearance compared to plain single-wall alternatives.

In a busy beverage service, the practical advantage of the double wall design is straightforward: customers can hold the cup comfortably without additional packaging, which speeds up handover during high-turnover periods such as a morning coffee rush. At 8oz, this is a standard size for smaller espresso-based drinks — a flat white, cortado, or short filter coffee — and is a format most customers will be familiar with.

• Double wall construction removes the need for separate cup sleeves
• Embossed outer surface improves grip and reduces heat transfer to the hand
• Mixed-colour pack adds visual variety to a beverage counter
• Paper construction is compatible with standard commercial waste streams
• Pack of 875 reduces reorder frequency for moderate-volume sites

It is worth confirming lid compatibility before ordering, as the Enjoy cup has a specific rim diameter and not all universal lids will fit reliably. The mixed-colour format also means individual colours cannot be specified, which is worth considering if brand consistency at the counter matters to your operation.

This cup suits cafés, canteens, event catering, and any setting serving hot drinks at volume. If you are working through cup sizing, lid compatibility, or pack quantities for your service, the team is glad to help you get it right.
