Product Description
The Steelite Nyx City Mug is a 285ml ceramic mug finished in a deep, high-contrast black glaze. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic, a durable, chip-resistant material widely used in professional front-of-house tableware where appearance and longevity both matter. The mug is sold in boxes of twelve, making it a practical quantity for initial stock or top-up ordering in café and restaurant environments.
In a service setting, the black glaze works particularly well with espresso-based drinks and specialty coffee, where the contrast between the dark body and the pale crema or latte art draws the eye and adds a degree of visual definition to the drink. Operators running a considered drinks programme often find that the vessel contributes meaningfully to how the finished product is perceived by the customer.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a sensible choice for busy operations — it holds up well through repeated dishwasher cycles, resists staining better than lower-fired alternatives, and maintains its gloss over time with normal commercial use. The Nyx range is designed to stack and store efficiently, which helps in environments where back-of-house storage is at a premium.
This mug is well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast and lounge services, and restaurant operations where drinks presentation is given the same attention as the food offering. It is a straightforward, reliable choice for operators who want consistency of appearance across a full section without spending on bespoke or fine-bone options.
If you are unsure whether this size and format fits your drinks menu or existing tableware programme, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is specifically formulated for the demands of commercial warewashing, including high-temperature cycles and detergents used in professional kitchens. With normal use, the glaze should retain its finish over an extended service life.
- These mugs are sold in boxes of 12. For most café or restaurant operations, a box of 12 represents a sensible starting point for a single section or service station, with straightforward top-up ordering as required. If you are outfitting a larger site or multiple outlets, we can advise on suitable quantities.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is fired to a high temperature, which produces a dense, non-porous body and a glaze that is more resistant to staining and fading than earthenware or lower-fired ceramics. In normal commercial service, the finish holds well, though very hard water areas or aggressive cleaning chemicals can affect any glaze over time.
