Steelite Simplicity White Low Empire Espresso Cup 85ml (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Simplicity White Low Empire Espresso Cup is a compact, 85ml ceramic cup designed for espresso service in commercial hospitality environments. The low Empire shape gives it a broad, stable profile that sits confidently on a saucer and presents well across a range of service styles, from a hotel breakfast offering through to a busy café counter or pub dining room.

Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, the cup is built to handle the realities of high-turnover service. The material offers good heat retention, which matters in espresso service where temperature loss between the machine and the guest is a practical concern. It's dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe, and Steelite backs the range with a lifetime edge chip warranty — a useful consideration when you're running stock through a commercial glass or dishwasher multiple times a day.

From an operational standpoint, the Simplicity White range earns its place in a lot of catering operations because it keeps things simple. The clean white finish works with virtually any table setting or branding, reduces the risk of mismatched crockery during busy service, and presents well without relying on decorative detail that can chip or fade over time.

• Dishwasher-safe construction supports high-turnover service without degradation
• Good heat retention keeps espresso at the correct temperature through to the guest
• Neutral white finish suits a wide range of hospitality settings and table styles
• Lifetime edge chip warranty provides practical reassurance for daily commercial use

This cup is well suited to cafés, hotels, restaurants, and pub kitchens running a regular espresso offering. If you're building out a full crockery range or need guidance on quantities relative to your covers, our team is happy to help you think it through.
