Why this cups & mug earns its place
Vitrified porcelain is the industry standard for hospitality crockery because it resists chipping better than earthenware and holds heat more effectively than thin ceramic. The Renoir range meets this specification with a gloss white finish that shows coffee colour clearly and works across minimalist and traditional service styles.
At 28cl, this cup is the working size across UK hospitality. It holds a standard americano without crowding, takes milk-based drinks (cappuccino, latte, flat white) with room for the pour, and fits neatly into standard dishwasher racks. The size balances cost-per-unit against batch-washing efficiency — a full dishwasher holds more 28cl than 34cl cups, cutting labour on long services.
Vitrified porcelain survives industrial dishwashing cycles at 65–75 °C. The white glaze is resistant to tannin staining and descales cleanly. The body's strength means it chips less at the rim than earthenware under edge impact.
