Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cups suitable for espresso and short coffees?

Yes. The 4oz size is ideal for espresso shots, short coffees and tasting portions.

Do I need an extra sleeve for these cups?

Often no. The ripple wall improves insulation and grip, so many businesses use them without a separate sleeve (depending on drink temperature and serving time).

Are lids included?

No. Lids are sold separately and you can find the compatible lids at the bottom of this page.

Can these cups be used for cold drinks?

They can hold cold drinks, but they are designed for hot beverages and do not provide condensation control. For cold drinks, use our clear plastic takeaway cups.

Are these cups recyclable?

These cups are made from paper with a lining for hot drinks. Recycling depends on local facilities and whether they accept lined paper cups. Follow your local waste guidance.
