The Olympia Kristallon carafes are 1-litre polycarbonate vessels designed as a practical alternative to glass in commercial beverage service. Clear in appearance and closely resembling glassware, they are well suited to table water service, soft drinks, and juices in environments where breakage risk or glass restrictions make conventional glassware unsuitable.

In busy service environments, polycarbonate carafes like these are a sensible choice wherever staff are moving quickly, surfaces are hard, or customers are serving themselves. They hold their shape and clarity through regular use and are rated for approximately 500 dishwasher cycles, which makes them a cost-effective option over time compared to glass replacements.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

  • Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and the associated safety risks
  • Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during busy service periods
  • Lightweight at 240g, reducing fatigue for front-of-house staff carrying multiple items
  • Supplied in a pack of six, practical for stocking a section or bar station
  • Clear polycarbonate finish maintains a presentable appearance on the table

There are no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard smallwares care. As with all polycarbonate drinkware, avoid abrasive cleaning agents that can dull the surface over time, and check items periodically for crazing or clouding, which indicates the end of serviceable life.

These carafes are best suited to casual dining, pub and bar service, outdoor catering, and venues operating under glass-free policies — such as poolside, festival, or event settings. For very high-volume operations requiring larger quantities or a different format, it is worth considering whether jugs with handles or a larger capacity vessel would better suit the service style.

If you are unsure which format works best for your setup, the team is happy to help you work it through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these carafes suitable for venues with a glass-free policy?

Yes. Polycarbonate is the standard choice for glass-free environments such as outdoor events, festival catering, poolside service, and licensed premises that operate a no-glass policy. The clear finish presents well on the table while eliminating the breakage and safety risks associated with glass.

How should polycarbonate carafes be cleaned to maintain their appearance?

These carafes are dishwasher safe and rated for approximately 500 cycles. To preserve clarity, avoid abrasive detergents or scouring pads, and use a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher programme suited to plasticware where possible. Inspect items regularly — crazing, deep scratching, or persistent clouding are signs that a carafe has reached the end of its serviceable life and should be replaced.

Is a pack of six sufficient for a typical bar or restaurant section?

For a small bar station or a single section of tables, a pack of six provides a practical working stock. Higher-volume operations — such as large banqueting, outdoor festivals, or multi-section restaurants — will generally require multiple packs to maintain adequate supply through a service period without falling short during turnaround.
