Steelite Bead Stacking Espresso Cups 100ml (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Bead range is a straightforward, classically styled vitrified china cup designed for commercial foodservice use. At 100ml capacity, this cup sits in espresso and short coffee service territory, making it a practical choice for cafés, restaurants, hotels, and any operation that runs a volume coffee offering. The Bead profile is clean and unfussy, with a simple bead detail at the rim that gives it a degree of visual character without complicating washing or stacking.

Vitrified china is the standard material for this type of service for good reason — it handles repeated thermal cycling, commercial dishwasher runs, and the knocks of a busy pass without deteriorating quickly. The stacking design is a practical consideration in high-turnover environments where storage space behind the counter is limited and cups need to be retrieved and replaced quickly during service.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this cup in a working kitchen environment are:

• Stacking profile reduces counter and shelf space requirements during service
• Vitrified china construction withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Consistent sizing supports uniform presentation across a coffee menu
• Classic styling works across a range of venue aesthetics without dating quickly
• Supplied in a pack of 12, allowing practical quantity purchasing

These cups are well suited to espresso-based menus in cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant dessert or coffee courses. They are a standard-weight cup rather than a heavyweight barista-spec option, so operators running very high-volume espresso bars should consider whether a heavier-gauge alternative from the wider Steelite range would better suit their throughput demands.

If you are putting together a full table or counter setting and want to confirm the right cup for your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.
