Product Description
The Steelite Rio range is a straightforward collection of vitrified ceramic cups finished with a hand-applied colour wash. The result is a relaxed, informal aesthetic that sits naturally in bistros, cafés, and casual dining settings where operators want to move away from plain white without committing to a heavily styled table presentation. The Yellow colourway is one of several options within the Rio range, and cups can be mixed across colours to suit a particular look or section of service.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these cups are built to handle the daily pressures of commercial use. The material offers good resistance to thermal shock — relevant when cups move between dishwasher cycles and hot beverage service repeatedly throughout a shift. The slimline stacking profile keeps storage compact and helps with portioning of limited cupboard or shelf space, which matters in smaller café or counter-service operations. The lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects a level of confidence in the durability of the glaze and body construction that is worth noting for operators managing ongoing replacement costs.
- Compact stacking reduces storage footprint during and between service periods
- Colour wash finish adds visual character without requiring decorative tableware elsewhere
- Alumina vitrified construction holds up well under repeated commercial dishwasher use
- Rio Yellow can be combined with other Rio colourways for a mixed, informal table setting
- A pack quantity of 36 provides a practical starting volume for most small to medium café operations
At 200ml these are sized for espresso-based drinks served with a reasonable amount of milk — flat whites, cortados, and smaller cappuccinos. Operators running a higher-volume coffee operation or requiring a larger cup for standard cappuccino or Americano service may want to consider other sizes within the Rio range.
If you're unsure whether the Rio Yellow fits your existing table concept, or you'd like to discuss how the colourways work together, the team are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Rio range is designed with this in mind. The hand-applied colour wash is consistent across the range, so different colourways sit comfortably alongside one another on the same table or service counter. Many operators use a mix of colours to create an informal, relaxed aesthetic without the need for additional decorative elements.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material for commercial tableware precisely because it tolerates repeated thermal cycling. The glaze is formulated to resist chipping and crazing under normal commercial use, and Steelite backs the range with a lifetime edge chip warranty. That said, as with all coloured tableware, the longevity of the finish depends on following correct dishwasher temperatures and avoiding aggressive stacking practices.
- For a small café running one sitting at a time, 36 cups can be workable, but most operators find it practical to hold at least one to two times their peak covers in crockery to allow for dishwasher turnaround. If you're running continuous service or a higher-volume counter operation, ordering additional packs from the outset is usually worth considering to avoid shortfalls during busy periods.
