Steelite Willow Can Cup 227.5ml | Pack of 36

The Steelite Willow Can Cup is a straight-sided ceramic cup from Steelite's established Willow range. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it carries a subtly textured exterior finish that references the wicker-like pattern the range is named for. Each cup holds approximately 220ml, making it a practical size for espresso-based drinks served with milk, filter coffee, or tea service.

Alumina vitrified ceramic is a material commonly specified for front-of-house tableware in commercial environments because of its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand the repeated thermal cycling of dishwasher use. In a busy café or restaurant, cups go through a great deal of daily handling, and the Willow Can Cup is built to absorb that without the rapid surface deterioration you often see with lower-grade ceramics. The clean white finish also holds its appearance well over time, which matters when presentation is part of the customer experience.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Alumina vitrified construction for improved chip resistance during daily service
• Consistent straight-sided shape suits standard saucer pairings and stacking
• Dishwasher safe and suited to commercial glasswash cycles
• Sold in packs of 36, reducing reorder frequency for busy sites
• Neutral white finish works across a range of table settings and branding styles

These cups require no installation considerations — they are a straightforward tableware purchase. The main practical decision is quantity: for high-footfall sites running continuous table turns, it is worth calculating cover numbers and dishwasher cycle times to ensure adequate stock is held. Buying in pack quantities helps manage this.

The Willow Can Cup is well suited to cafés, hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations looking for a reliable, presentable ceramic cup at a sensible price point per unit. It is particularly appropriate where consistency of appearance across a large number of covers matters. If your operation requires significantly higher volumes, or a different cup profile for a specific drink format, it is worth discussing your full requirements with us before ordering.

If you are specifying cups across a new or refurbished venue and want to talk through quantities or coordinating pieces within the Willow range, we are happy to help.
