Buy porcelain, bone china, stoneware or enamel cups online

Smooth porcelain, cool enamel or textured stoneware - both look and feel play a role in choosing the right tableware material. Choose from a wide variety of designs for your café, breakfast joint or restaurant: our cups are made of classic porcelain, high-quality bone china porcelain, individual stoneware or durable enamel:

• Porcelain: The most durable and finest type of ceramic is made of white clay, quartz and feldspar and is the most popular material for cups.

• Bone china: Bone china porcelain is the noblest type of porcelain and is slightly translucent. It gets its special properties from animal bone ash.

• Stoneware: Cups made of stoneware have no pores and are very resistant to breakage. Therefore, they are well suited for catering.

• Enamel: For the production of enamel, glass is combined with iron in the furnace. Therefore, this material is recyclable in scrap metal. Enamel has many other advantages such as great heat resistance, scratch resistance and aroma neutrality.

• Tempered glass: Tempered glass, as the name implies, is very hard and therefore resistant to breakage and impact. The high refractive index makes tempered glass look like crystal, so it is characterized by high brilliance. Although tempered glass cups are very robust, they weigh less than equivalent cups made of porcelain.

Setting the table with cups: Are saucers necessary or dispensable?

The table setting acts as a business card for your catering business: if you set cups, saucers and cake plates directly, tradition and etiquette are important to you. If you serve hot drinks in cups or soft drinks in glasses, depending on the order, this shows that you have a varied drinks menu and a large selection.

Whether you serve saucers with your coffee and tea cups in this case is entirely up to you. The argument against this is that you have an extra piece to wash up and you need a place to put it. However, saucers are not only decorative, but also provide a protection of the tablecloth from coffee or tea edges. In addition, they provide a shelf for sweets and the coffee spoon, and your service staff will be easier to serve, because they will not burn themselves on the hot liquid.
