About Our Drinkware
AMERICAN-MADE DRINKWARE FOR PROFESSIONAL FOODSERVICE
Ceramic drinkware offers something that glass and plastic cannot: a tactile quality that elevates the beverage experience while providing the durability that professional service demands. From water tumblers to specialty cocktail vessels, ceramic drinkware is increasingly specified by operations that want to differentiate their beverage program through tableware.
HF Coors commercial drinkware is manufactured from vitrified ceramic. Every piece is chip-resistant, lead-free, cadmium-free, and rated for commercial dishwasher use. The dense body provides thermal properties that keep cold beverages cooler and hot beverages warmer than glass or thin porcelain alternatives.

The Standard
WHY CERAMIC DRINKWARE IS REPLACING GLASS IN PROGRESSIVE BEVERAGE PROGRAMS
Glass breaks. In high-volume operations, glassware breakage is a persistent safety concern and a significant recurring expense. Ceramic drinkware eliminates the shattering risk while providing a premium tactile experience that plastic and melamine cannot match.
Beyond safety and durability, ceramic drinkware offers creative possibilities that glass does not. Custom glaze colors, textured finishes, and unique profiles allow operations to create a beverage presentation that is distinctive and brand-aligned. HF Coors drinkware is specified by craft cocktail bars, resort pool operations, and hotel properties that have made the strategic decision to move beyond commodity glassware.

Can drinkware be customized for a bar or restaurant brand?
Yes. HF Coors offers logo imprinting, proprietary glaze colors, and custom vessel shapes for drinkware. Custom drinkware is particularly effective for craft cocktail programs and branded hotel beverage service.
How does ceramic drinkware compare to glass for commercial use?
Ceramic drinkware is more durable than glass, does not shatter, provides better thermal retention, and offers greater customization options. For operations concerned with breakage costs and safety, ceramic is increasingly the preferred choice.
Are HF Coors drinkware pieces dishwasher safe?
Yes. All HF Coors drinkware is rated for commercial dishwasher use at temperatures up to 180F. The vitrified body and high-fired glaze maintain surface quality through thousands of wash cycles.
What finishes are available for commercial drinkware?
HF Coors offers gloss, matte, and textured finishes on all drinkware pieces. Matte and textured finishes are particularly popular for craft cocktail and specialty coffee applications where tactile quality enhances the guest experience.
