Product Description
The Steelite Alvo low cup is a 227ml white ceramic cup from Steelite's Alvo range, designed for hot drinks service in professional hospitality environments. It combines a gently curved profile with a subtle embossed detail, giving it a clean, refined look that sits well across a range of food and drink settings without drawing attention away from what's being served.
Constructed from alumina vitrified ceramic, the Alvo cup is built to withstand the rigours of continuous commercial use. The material offers good thermal shock resistance, which matters in a busy service environment where cups move quickly between hot liquid, rinsing, and stacking. The robust glaze helps resist staining and maintains a consistent appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles — an important practical consideration for operations running high cup turnover.
Key practical characteristics of the Alvo low cup include:
- Thermal shock resistance, reducing breakage risk in fast-paced service
- Stain-resistant glaze that holds up well under repeated commercial washing
- Pure white finish that presents cleanly under a range of lighting conditions
- Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite, providing long-term peace of mind
- Supplied in a pack of 36, suited to building or replenishing a working cover set
The 227ml capacity is appropriate for standard coffee and hot drinks service. The low cup format suits table service and tray service alike, and stacks efficiently for storage. There are no installation or utility requirements to consider — this is straightforward smallware.
The Alvo low cup is well suited to hotels, restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations looking for a reliable, presentable white cup with a long service life. If your operation requires a larger capacity or a different cup format, the Alvo range includes further options worth considering.
If you're building out a full covers set or matching across multiple cup formats, we're happy to advise on quantities and compatibility with other pieces in the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A common starting point for table service operations is three to four cups per cover to allow for cups in use, in transit, and in the wash cycle simultaneously. A pack of 36 will typically support a 10 to 12 cover hot drinks service under normal rotation, though high-turnover or continuous service environments may require additional stock.
- The alumina vitrified ceramic and robust glaze are specifically designed for repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The thermal shock resistance reduces the risk of crazing or cracking when cups move between hot liquid and the rinse cycle. In practice, operators find the glaze retains its appearance well over a sustained period of heavy use.
- Yes — the low cup profile and durable construction make it practical across both formats. For self-service counters with high handling and stacking demands, the thermal shock resistance and chip-resistant edge warranty are particularly relevant. For more formal table service, the clean white finish and refined profile present well without being overly decorative.
