Karaca Leather Cool Touch Latte Coffee Glass, 210 Ml, Pearlescent

Q: What is the thermal tolerance of the leather sleeve during repeated service cycles?

A: The leather sleeve withstands continuous exposure to beverages at 85°C without material degradation. The internal heat barrier lining maintains structural integrity through standard commercial dishwasher cycles after removal. Sleeve replacement is recommended after 12 months in high-volume operations.

Q: Does the glass body require pre-heating before espresso-based drink service?

A: Pre-heating is not required due to borosilicate glass thermal properties. The 210 ml capacity allows direct pour from espresso machine portafilter or milk steaming pitcher. The glass maintains beverage temperature for 8-12 minutes during table service.

Q: Can the leather sleeve be cleaned in commercial dishwashers?

A: The leather sleeve must be removed before dishwasher cleaning. The glass body is dishwasher-safe at temperatures up to 90°C. The sleeve should be wiped with damp cloth and air-dried between service periods.

Q: What is the breakage rate compared to standard commercial glassware?

A: The leather sleeve reduces impact breakage by approximately 30% during handling and tray service. The borosilicate glass has higher thermal shock resistance than soda-lime commercial glassware. Replacement units are stocked for rapid replenishment in multi-site operations.

Q: Is the pearlescent finish food-safe for hot beverage contact?

A: The pearlescent coating is applied via ceramic process and meets CE food contact standards. The finish withstands temperatures up to 95°C without leaching or degradation. All materials comply with UK and EU regulations for commercial food service applications.
