Hi folks - more questions
My manager at the crapola cafe where I work is thankfully thinking about upgrading our cups and glasses. At the moment we have a pile of ugly and cheap-looking stackable cups that we use for flat whites, three different types of cappuccino cups, and some latte glasses that are just looking old. The stackable cups and some of the cappuccino cups are 250ml; the latte glasses and the rest of the capp cups are 220ml.
So, some questions:
1. What would be your advice re sizes? I gather that most coffee purists prefer smaller cups/glasses (e.g. more like 170-180ml), but I know that most of our customers prefer the 250ml cups when asked - and I did a bit of a google search and found basically the same thing. Would there be any point in getting two sizes: one 170ml and one 250ml? Is there a company that makes two sizes like that? Or should we just aim in the middle and go for 220ml everything?
2. Can anyone recommend a brand and/or supplier? Preferably wholesale, preferably not too expensive and it has to be one that isnt tied to a particular distributor such as Illy. We are in Melbourne.
I know that fancy cups and glasses do not great coffee make, but its a little thing that will help us look more professional.
Thanks in advance,
Claire
