Stalgast 170 ml Coffee Cup for Professional Use

A coffee cup designed for the demands of commercial cafés and catering operations, where consistent volume and durability matter. The 170 ml capacity matches the standard serving size for espresso-based drinks, ensuring portion control without frequent refills. The shape is optimised for quick handling: the 85 mm diameter gives a stable base on a busy worktop, while the 60 mm height allows baristas to stack cups efficiently between uses, saving space in tight service areas.

The cup holds hot liquids without transferring heat to the hand, a necessity when orders arrive in rapid succession. Its volume is calibrated to leave room for milk or foam in drinks like cappuccinos and lattes, preventing spills during transport from machine to counter. The rim is shaped to direct the flow of liquid, reducing drips when the cup is lifted or set down.

In a professional setting, the cup is loaded onto a tray or espresso machine portafilter, filled, and handed to the customer or placed on a saucer. The 170 ml capacity means the contents cool at a predictable rate, giving staff a consistent window for serving before the drink reaches drinking temperature. Stacking is straightforward: the base fits neatly into the rim of another cup, allowing organised storage in cupboards or on shelves between rushes.

The cup is made to withstand repeated cycles of filling, handling, and washing. Its dimensions are standardised, so it fits under most commercial espresso machines and in dishwasher racks designed for catering crockery. The 85 mm diameter also matches the footprint of many saucers and underplates, ensuring stability when the cup is carried on a tray.

Cleaning follows the routine for commercial crockery: the cup is rinsed immediately after use to prevent coffee oils from setting, then washed in a commercial dishwasher with detergent formulated for hot-water cycles. The smooth surface and absence of crevices allow thorough cleaning without manual scrubbing, reducing labour during peak service.

This model is part of Stalgast's range of catering crockery, positioned for cafés, hotels, and contract caterers who require reliable, stackable cups that integrate with existing workflows.
