Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — PLA-lined compostable cups need to go through an industrial composting facility to break down correctly. They will not compost in a standard food waste bin or garden compost, and they should not go into general paper recycling. If your venue does not currently have access to an industrial composting waste stream, it is worth arranging that before switching to compostable cups, otherwise the environmental benefit is not fully realised.
- PLA linings perform well within the temperature range of standard hot drinks service, including espresso-based drinks. Single wall cups will transfer more heat to the outer surface than a double wall design, so for full-temperature drinks you may want to supply cup sleeves to maintain customer comfort — particularly for longer walk-away orders.
- Most UK-market lids designed for 12oz single wall cups should be compatible, but lid fitment does vary slightly between manufacturers depending on rim diameter tolerances. If you are matching these to an existing lid from a different supplier, it is worth testing a small quantity first before committing to a full bulk order.
