Churchill Tide Gold Espresso Cups 103ml (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Tide collection is a range of super vitrified tableware designed around organic, coastal-influenced forms. These espresso cups carry that same fluid aesthetic — a balance of white space and a warm gold accent that sits comfortably in contemporary café and restaurant settings. Each cup holds 103ml, making them well suited to standard espresso and short coffee serves.

Super vitrified china is the material of choice for most professional front-of-house operations, and with good reason. It fires at a higher temperature than standard porcelain, producing a denser, harder body that copes with the stacking, handling, and daily dishwasher cycling that comes with busy service. These cups carry Churchill's five-year edge chip guarantee, which reflects the durability expected of the material rather than being a hollow marketing promise — edge chipping is where most café crockery fails first, so that guarantee is worth noting.

In practical terms, operators benefit from:

• Strong resistance to staining and metal marks from cutlery contact, helping cups stay presentable longer
• Dishwasher and microwave compatibility, supporting fast turnaround during service
• A consistent glaze finish that holds up without crazing under regular commercial washing cycles
• A considered size that fits standard espresso saucers and most under-counter cup storage arrangements

The Tide range is produced in a fixed colourway, so it is worth confirming at the outset that the gold detailing works within your existing tableware scheme. If your operation runs high cup volumes or a mixed crockery programme, it is worth discussing whether this range is the right fit before committing to quantity.

If you are building out a full Tide place setting or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
