Product Description
The Steelite Brown Dapple Cup is an alumina vitrified ceramic cup finished with a distinctive dark dappled rim and a clean white interior. The Brown Dapple range is designed to carry a consistent rustic aesthetic across a full table setting, making it straightforward to build a coordinated look across a café or restaurant cover.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for front-of-house cup service. It offers good thermal retention for hot beverages and handles the mechanical stresses of daily commercial use well — including the repeated loading and unloading cycles of a commercial dishwasher. The glaze holds its appearance over time without the fading or crazing that cheaper ceramics can show after heavy use.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Dishwasher safe, reducing handling time and supporting high-turnover service
- Consistent glaze finish across a pack of 36, reducing visible mismatches on the pass
- Coordinates with other pieces in the Brown Dapple range for a unified table presentation
- 220ml capacity suits standard espresso-based drinks and filter coffee service
- Robust enough for everyday stacking and racking without specialist handling
A pack of 36 is a reasonable opening quantity for a small to medium café or coffee counter. For higher-volume sites running multiple sittings or a large cover count, a larger opening order is worth considering to allow for attrition over time. The Brown Dapple range extends across additional pieces if you are looking to match across a full setting.
If you are uncertain how many to order based on your cover count and turnaround, or want to check compatibility with other Brown Dapple pieces, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- As a general guide, most operators aim to hold two to three times their seated cover count in cups to allow for dishwasher turnaround and breakage attrition. A pack of 36 works well as a starting point for smaller venues; higher-volume sites typically need to order in greater multiples. If you want to work through the numbers based on your service model, we can help with that.
- Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is well suited to commercial dishwasher use, including the higher water temperatures and mechanical action of rack-type and conveyor machines. That said, as with all ceramics, avoiding heavy impact during loading and unloading will extend the lifespan of the glaze.
- Yes, the Brown Dapple range is designed to coordinate across multiple pieces — cups, saucers, plates and serving items share the same dappled rim detail and glaze finish. If you are building out a full table setting, it is worth confirming which pieces are available and in stock before committing to a full order.
