Delivery Information

Price Match

The Olympia Kiln Smoke espresso cup is a porcelain cup in the 85ml size, designed to sit alongside the wider Kiln collection of earthenware-style tableware. The Smoke colourway sits in a neutral, cool-toned palette, making it a straightforward choice for operators who want something with a little more character than plain white without committing to a bolder colour. Each cup is finished with a reactive glaze, which means the surface tone varies slightly from piece to piece — a deliberate quality of the range rather than a manufacturing inconsistency.

In a busy café or restaurant, small variances in cup finish are rarely noticed by customers but contribute meaningfully to the overall feel of a table setting. The porcelain construction is practical for everyday service: it handles repeated dishwasher cycles reliably, and the weight of each piece gives it the kind of solidity that holds up under the pace of a busy espresso bar without feeling cumbersome to handle.

The Smoke cup is compatible with a number of saucers within the Olympia range, which gives operators flexibility when building a coordinated table scheme or mixing pieces across the Kiln colour range. It suits venues that want their tableware to feel considered — independent coffee shops, bistros, boutique hotels — without requiring a complete crockery overhaul.

If you're building out a full tableware specification and would like guidance on matching pieces or quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help work through the options with you.

Frequently asked questions

How many cups do I need to order for a busy café service?

For a typical espresso bar running continuous service, most operators aim to hold three to four times their peak simultaneous cover count in cups, accounting for cups in use, on the pass, and in the wash cycle. This pack of six is well suited to topping up an existing set or starting a smaller operation, but higher-volume sites will generally want to order several packs to maintain service flow without running short during peak periods.

Are these cups suitable for commercial dishwashers?

Yes, the porcelain construction is suitable for regular commercial dishwasher use. The reactive glaze is part of the fired finish rather than a surface treatment, so it does not degrade with repeated wash cycles in the way that some decorative finishes can.

Can these cups be mixed with other colours in the Kiln range?

Yes, and mixing colourways is a common approach with the Kiln range. The Smoke cup shares the same form and dimensions as the other Kiln espresso cups, so it sits naturally alongside pieces in Moss, Sandstone, Ocean, and Bark without looking mismatched — the variation between colours reads as intentional within the range's aesthetic.
