Churchill White Unhandled Espresso Cups 118ml (Pack of 12)

These Churchill unhandled cups are a straightforward, no-frills option for serving espresso, macchiato, or similar short coffee drinks in a commercial setting. At 118ml, they sit at a standard espresso service size and the clean white finish works across most table settings without drawing attention to itself — which is often exactly what operators want from their crockery.

Churchill produces these cups from a super-vitrified body, which means they are considerably harder and more chip-resistant than standard vitrified ware. In a busy café, hotel, or restaurant environment where cups are handled repeatedly throughout the day, that additional durability translates directly into a longer service life and fewer replacements. The thermal shock resistance is a practical advantage too — cups moving quickly from a hot dishwasher cycle to a cold surface are less likely to crack or craze over time.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• Dishwasher safe, suitable for commercial glasswasher and rack-style dishwasher cycles
• Microwave safe, useful for front-of-house reheating situations
• Super-vitrified body reduces chipping during stacking, storage, and handling
• Thermal shock resistance helps extend working life under heavy daily use
• White unhandled design pairs with a wide range of saucers and tray presentations

Being unhandled, these cups are compact to stack and store, which suits operations with limited crockery storage. They are sold in packs of twelve, so it is worth considering your service volume and breakage rate when deciding how many packs to order at once. Churchill maintains consistent production on this range, so matching replacements are generally straightforward to source.

These cups are well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant coffee service, and similar hospitality environments with regular daily throughput.
