Product Description
The Steelite Alvo cup is a 200ml stacking cup in alumina vitrified ceramic, sold in a pack of 36. It is designed for commercial beverage service — coffee, espresso-based drinks, and hot drinks more broadly — where consistent presentation and practical durability both matter. The gently curved profile and subtle embossment give it a considered appearance without being fussy, and the pure white finish works alongside most tableware styles.
In busy service environments, the key question with crockery is how it holds up under sustained use and repeated machine washing. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material in commercial catering precisely because it resists thermal shock and staining better than standard vitrified china. The stackable design supports efficient storage and countertop organisation during service, and the 36-piece pack quantity suits venues that need meaningful working stock without over-ordering.
From an operational standpoint, the Alvo range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Stacking profile reduces storage footprint at the pass and behind the counter
- Thermal shock resistance supports safe transition from dishwasher to service
- Stain-resistant glaze helps maintain appearance over time with standard machine washing
- White finish presents cleanly under most lighting conditions
- Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects confidence in the glaze durability
There are no particular installation requirements for crockery, but it is worth confirming your dishwasher cycle is set appropriately for fine ceramic ware, and that storage racking can accommodate the stacked height when full sets are in use. For very high-volume sites running multiple sittings, consider whether a larger pack quantity or additional sets would provide sufficient working stock through a full service.
The Alvo cup is well suited to cafés, restaurants, hotel dining, and contract catering operations where a clean, consistent presentation is expected and durability under daily machine washing is non-negotiable. If your operation has more specific requirements around cup size or style, the broader Steelite Alvo range includes complementary pieces.
If you have questions about pack quantities or how the Alvo range fits alongside your existing tableware, we are happy to help you think it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A useful rule of thumb is to hold at least three times your seated cover count in cups, accounting for cups in use, in the dishwasher, and in reserve. For a 20-cover café with high turnover, a single pack of 36 may be sufficient as a starting point, but busier operations often benefit from holding two packs to keep service running smoothly during peak periods.
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is widely used in commercial catering specifically because it tolerates the higher temperatures and detergent concentrations used in commercial dishwashers. The thermal shock resistance helps the cups move from hot wash cycles to service without cracking, and the stain-resistant glaze holds up well under regular machine washing.
- Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty covers chipping at the rim under normal commercial use — one of the most common failure points on cups and mugs in busy kitchens. It reflects the quality of the glaze and firing process, and provides practical reassurance for operators who rely on consistent tableware presentation over time. For specific warranty claim queries, it is worth confirming the terms directly with Steelite or with us before purchasing.
