Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm Espresso Cups 85ml (Pack of 12)

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm espresso cups are vitrified china cups produced in collaboration with Robert Gordon Australia, a studio pottery brand with a long background in functional ceramic design. The Storm glaze is one of two colourways in the collection and gives each cup a distinctive, handcrafted character that holds up well in a professional service environment.

Vitrified china is a practical choice for café and restaurant use. It fires at higher temperatures than standard ceramic, which produces a denser, less porous body that resists chipping, staining, and moisture absorption over time. These cups are designed to withstand the routine demands of a busy coffee counter — repeated handling, commercial dishwasher cycles, and the thermal shock of hot espresso.

The cup shape draws on traditional espresso proportions, which supports a clean pour and helps retain crema presentation. For operators who take coffee quality seriously, the geometry of the cup does matter, and this range has been developed with that in mind rather than being purely decorative.

• Vitrified china construction suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• Distinctive Storm glaze adds considered presentation to coffee service
• Traditional espresso cup shape supports crema retention
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking a working counter
• Pairs with matching saucers and other pieces in the Potters Collection

These cups are most appropriate for independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant coffee stations where presentation alongside durability is a priority. They are not intended for very high-volume fast-service environments where a plainer, lower-cost cup may be more practical from a breakage-cost perspective.

If you are building out a coffee offering and want to discuss cup selection alongside other front-of-house considerations, the team is happy to help you think it through.
