Hi everyone,


I’ve recently started looking into paper coffee cups for a small café project I’m working on. I’m trying to understand what really makes a good paper cup — especially when it comes to durability with hot drinks, insulation, and eco-friendliness.


A few questions I have:


  • Is there a big difference between single wall and double wall cups when it comes to customer experience?
  • Are biodegradable or compostable cups actually practical, or do they end up costing too much?
  • For those of you who’ve ordered in bulk — where did you find reliable suppliers?
  • Also, does custom printing really help with branding, or is it not worth the extra cost?

While doing my research, I came across some detailed guides that seemed helpful:


  • One was more focused on options available in the UK, which explained sizes, coatings, and materials for paper coffee cups.
  • Another was geared more towards US-based businesses, with insights into bulk orders and paper coffee cups designed for hot beverages.

I’d love to hear from people who’ve gone through this already. Any advice, mistakes to avoid, or good suppliers to recommend?
