Why Beverage Businesses Choose Our Disposable Coffee Cups 

Heat Performance You Can Choose

Ripple and double wall cups give more insulation than single wall, so you can match the cup to the drink and the customer.

Insulated Coffee Cup Options

Choose ripple wall or double wall cups for an insulated coffee cup feel, with less heat reaching the hand.

Professional Beverage Presentation

Kraft, black and white cup finishes help cafés and takeaway brands keep a polished look.

Comfortable Takeaway Handling

Ripple and double wall cups reduce heat transfer, which improves grip and comfort and can avoid the need for sleeves.

Suitable for High-Volume Service

Lightweight, stackable cups support efficient drink preparation during busy periods.

Secure Coffee Cup and Lid Pairing

Pair your cups with sip-thru lids to help minimise spills during takeaway transport and delivery.

How to Choose Disposable Coffee Cups 

The right disposable coffee cup depends on the drink, the wall type and the lid.

Pick the wall type

Single wall cups are light and economical for tea stations and catering. Double wall cups add insulation. Ripple wall cups give the strongest grip and comfort for extra-hot drinks without a sleeve.

Match the size to the drink

Use 4oz for espresso and tasters, 6-8oz for flat whites and small hot drinks, 12oz for lattes and teas, and 16oz for large drinks.

Choose the finish

Kraft gives an artisan look, black suits premium and branded service, and white is clean and versatile.

Order the matching lid

Lids are sold separately. The 8oz Sip Thru White Lids suit 8oz cups, and the 12/16oz Sip Thru White Lids suit 12oz and 16oz cups. Check each listing before ordering.

Check disposal guidance

Compostable cups need the right disposal route. Check the listing and your local collection rules.

Order by the case

Cases hold 500 to 1,000 cups. Buying 4 or more cases lowers the cost per unit, and delivery is free over £100 ex VAT.

Hot Drink Cup Size Guide

Most coffee orders fit a 12oz cup, while 8oz suits flat whites and 16oz suits large drinks. Use this guide to match cup type, size and lid to your menu.

"Typical use" is a general guide. Sizes, lids and case quantities vary by product, so check each listing for details.
