Price Match

The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a small espresso-size cup from Steelite's Brown Dapple tableware range. It holds approximately 80ml, making it suitable for espresso and short coffee serves. The defining visual feature is the dark brown dappled detailing around the upper rim, which gives the piece a warm, informal character without being fussy. The cream body sits comfortably alongside a wide range of saucers and side plates within the same range.

Built from alumina vitrified ceramic, these cups are designed to hold up under the repetitive daily use typical of a busy café or coffee shop environment. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a recognised choice for commercial tableware because it resists chipping better than standard porcelain and tolerates the thermal cycling of a commercial dishwasher over time. For an operation running multiple sittings a day, that durability matters in terms of breakage rates and replacement costs.

  • Consistent glaze and dapple finish supports a coherent table setting
  • Dishwasher-safe construction suited to high-turnover café service
  • Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking to service volume
  • Compact size keeps table footprint small during busy covers

These cups are best suited to cafés, coffee shops, and hospitality venues that want a relaxed, artisan aesthetic rather than a formal fine-dining look. The pack size of 12 works well for smaller independent operators; larger sites with high covers may want to consider buying multiple packs or a larger-format pack if available in the range.

If you're building out a full table setting or want to confirm how the Brown Dapple range fits your existing service style, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Are these cups suitable for commercial dishwashers?

Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is designed to tolerate the high temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers. This makes them a practical choice for cafés and coffee shops running multiple service cycles per day.

How many packs would a typical café need to hold in stock?

That depends on your covers, turnover speed, and how quickly your dishwasher cycles. As a general guide, most small to medium independents find it useful to hold at least two to three packs in rotation to allow for breakages and peak service demand. Larger or busier sites may want to hold more.

Does the Brown Dapple range extend to other pieces such as saucers or mugs?

The Brown Dapple is a wider Steelite range that includes complementary pieces. If you're looking to build a coordinated table setting, it's worth confirming which items are available together before ordering — our team can advise on what's currently in stock.
