Why this cup earns its place
The 170ml is the size that does the work. Cappuccino, flat white, cortado—this capacity sits precisely in the sweet spot where most specialty and commercial coffee shops operate. Steelite's Brown Dapple finish—warm cream with soft brown speckling—doesn't distract from the drink; it frames it with understated design that works equally well in a casual café or upmarket hotel bar.
These cups are made for volume. Vitrified ceramic resists the daily dishwasher cycle, the inevitable chips from rushed service, and the staining that comes with milk-based drinks. The glaze is integral, not painted on, so the warm speckled finish survives hundreds of washes without fading. At 6.26 kg for 36 pieces, they're compact enough to store and rotate efficiently, yet substantial enough to feel substantial in the hand.
The Brown Dapple range was designed with real commercial kitchens in mind: pieces that look intentional without being fragile, that perform under stress, and that don't need replacing after a season.
