Ask a Question About This Product
The Karaca Pia is a 250ml clear glass tumbler supplied in commercial volumes for high-turnover beverage service. It handles hot filtered coffee, espresso-based drinks, iced beverages, and cold brew presentation across coffee shops, hotel breakfast buffets, and catering operations. Food service managers specify glassware by volume, dishwasher cycle rating, and breakage replacement cost.
Commercial Application
Coffee shops use 250ml glassware for standard latte and Americano service where visual presentation of layered drinks matters. The clear glass allows customers to see crema separation and milk texture. Operators stock 3-4 times their peak service capacity to maintain rotation during continuous dishwasher cycles.
Hotel breakfast operations run through 40-60 units per service period during buffet hours. Catering businesses pack glassware in standardised flight cases with foam dividers for off-site events. The 250ml volume matches standard espresso machine output for milk-based drinks without requiring size adjustment at the group head.

Construction & Build Quality
The tumbler uses tempered soda-lime glass with annealed edges to reduce rim chipping during high-volume washing cycles. Wall thickness supports thermal stability when filled with liquids between 4°C and 92°C. Base diameter and weight distribution prevent tipping on standard service trays during transport.
- Tempered soda-lime glass with commercial-grade annealing process
- Uniform wall thickness maintains thermal performance across production batches
- Rolled rim edge finish reduces chipping in commercial dishwasher rack contact
- Weighted base provides stability on service trays during front-of-house movement

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What dishwasher cycle temperature rating does the 250ml glass support?
A: The Karaca Pia handles commercial dishwasher cycles up to 85°C with standard alkaline detergents. Rinse aid compatibility prevents spotting during air drying. Operators should avoid thermal shock by not loading refrigerated glassware directly into high-temperature wash cycles.
Q: How many units should a coffee shop stock for 80 covers per service?
A: Stock 240-320 units to maintain three full rotations during peak service with one set in use, one set in washing, and one set in reserve. This accounts for 15-20 minute dishwasher cycles and allows for 5-8% breakage buffer. High-volume operations may require four rotations.
Q: Does the 250ml volume work with commercial espresso machine standard shots?
A: Yes. Standard double shot (60ml) plus 180ml steamed milk fits the 250ml capacity with 10ml headspace for foam. Operators using 18-20g dose baskets with 1:2 extraction ratios achieve consistent fill levels without overflow during milk pouring.
Q: What is the thermal shock rating for cold brew to hot water transitions?
A: The tempered glass withstands temperature differentials up to 88°C without fracture risk. Cold brew stored at 4°C can accept boiling water addition for Americano preparation. Rapid cooling from 92°C to ice contact may cause stress fractures in damaged units.
Q: How does the 2-year commercial guarantee apply to high-volume operations?
A: The guarantee covers manufacturing defects including spontaneous breakage, base delamination, and rim defects under normal commercial use. Breakage from impact, thermal shock misuse, or improper handling is excluded. Operators must retain purchase documentation and report defects within 30 days of discovery.
