Product Description
The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a straightforward commercial cup built for everyday hot drinks service. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it carries the robustness expected of Steelite's catering-grade range — material known for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand the repeated thermal and mechanical stress of a working café or restaurant environment.
In day-to-day service the cup handles well, holding its finish through continuous dishwasher cycles without the crazing or dulling that affects lower-grade ceramics over time. The dapple glaze finish has a practical side too: the darker, flecked tone disguises minor surface wear and suits presentation of drinks with a dusted or layered finish, such as cappuccinos or hot chocolates. At 285ml it sits comfortably in the standard flat white and cappuccino range.
Selling in packs of 36 makes these practical for initial openings or topping up stock across a busy counter without frequent reordering. Key operational points worth noting:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping under commercial use
- Dishwasher safe and rated for repeated commercial wash cycles
- Dapple finish suited to dusted or layered hot drink presentation
- Pack of 36 supports counter-level stock management
- Available in other sizes within the Brown Dapple range
These cups are well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant beverage services running steady volume. For very high-throughput operations going through significant cup attrition, it's worth considering whether a heavier pack quantity or a complementary saucer pairing fits your setup.
If you're building out a full hot drinks range or want to confirm the right size and pack count for your service, our team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a standard material choice for commercial tableware specifically because it handles the thermal cycling and mechanical impact of busy service better than standard earthenware. The dishwasher-safe rating supports continuous rotation through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher without significant degradation over time.
- Saucers are not included in this pack but are available separately within the Steelite Brown Dapple range. If you're setting up a full service, it's worth confirming saucer sizing alongside cup selection to ensure a consistent pairing across your covers.
- At 285ml this cup sits comfortably in the cappuccino and flat white range, making it a practical choice for most espresso-based service. If your menu leans toward larger lattes or americanos, Steelite offer the Brown Dapple design in other sizes, and it's worth checking which capacity best matches your most common serve before ordering in bulk.
