The Steelite Monaco Fine 85ml cup is a small-format beverage cup designed for espresso, ristretto, and short coffee serves in commercial hospitality settings. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it presents a clean, brilliant white finish that provides a neutral backdrop for drinks presentation across a wide range of service styles.

In a busy café, restaurant, or hotel environment, durability matters as much as appearance. The alumina vitrified construction gives these cups a notably hard, dense body that handles the thermal cycling of continuous hot liquid service, commercial dishwashing, and day-to-day stacking without the chip rate you would typically see from standard porcelain. Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty reflects confidence in how the body performs under sustained use.

From an operational standpoint, the Monaco Fine range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

Brilliant white glaze holds its appearance through repeated high-temperature commercial dishwasher cycles
Lightweight body reduces fatigue during high-volume service without compromising strength
Consistent sizing and shape supports reliable stacking and storage in a busy pass or back-of-house
The 85ml capacity is well suited to standard espresso and ristretto serves without overpowering the drink

These cups require no special storage considerations beyond standard crockery handling. They are dishwasher safe and are intended for use in commercial rather than domestic settings, where replacement frequency and durability under volume are practical concerns. Packs of 12 make it straightforward to manage par stock.

The Monaco Fine 85ml cup suits cafés, hotel breakfast and lounge operations, restaurants serving espresso-based drinks, and any site looking for a reliable white cup at this size point. If you are covering higher volumes or need a heavier cup weight for a specific service style, there are other options in the range worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this cup suits your service style or you are building out a full crockery specification, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these cups suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is designed to withstand the temperature and chemical conditions of commercial dishwasher cycles. The glaze is formulated to resist dulling and crazing under repeated high-temperature washing, which is an important consideration in any high-turnover operation.

How does the Monaco Fine 85ml cup hold up in a high-volume café environment?

The alumina vitrified body is considerably harder and denser than standard porcelain, which makes it well suited to the physical demands of a busy café — repeated stacking, handling during service, and frequent dishwasher cycles. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects the practical durability of the range rather than just a marketing claim.

Is the 85ml size appropriate for all espresso-based drinks?

The 85ml capacity is well matched to single espresso and ristretto serves. For drinks with a larger yield — such as lungo or double espresso — you may find a larger cup from the Monaco Fine range more appropriate. If you are unsure which size suits your menu, it is worth checking your typical drink volumes before committing to a full par stock order.
