About Glasses & Cups products

Glasses and cups are used for drinks throughout a meal, from wine and cocktails to coffee. Bowl shape, capacity, handle and finish affect how each piece works at the table. A glass blender cup is used to prepare and pour drinks, so its capacity and fit with a blender base matter. Brown glass cups give drinks a warm tint through the glass and add colour to the table.

Glassware and cups are an essential component of any kitchen and household. Highly functional, they can also add a sense of style and personality to a dining space and social gathering. ArchiPro has carefully selected a variety of serving glasses such as cocktail and wine glasses for an elegant, modern touch. Chosen from trusted suppliers across New Zealand, you’ll find everything you need here.

White wine glasses

White wine glasses come in a variety of shapes, they are usually thinner than red wine glasses. This allows the wine to stay cool whilst conserving aromas.

Red wine glasses

Red wine glasses are large and have a rounded body. This allows the wine to aerate and open up, accentuating subtle aromas.

Cocktail glasses

Special drinks require special glassware. Cocktail glasses come in a variety of styles, specific to the cocktail that will be served in them, from a martini to a pina colada.

Tumblers

A tumbler can be used to serve water and other cool drinks. They are the most versatile glass style, essential to all kitchens.

Coffee mugs

A staple for every household in New Zealand, coffee mugs come in all shapes and sizes and their styles are just as wide-ranging. They present a good opportunity to have some fun too with many humorous designs available.     Double glass coffee cups vary in capacity, so check how much they hold against the intended serving size.

The advantages of high-quality glassware and cups

Glassware should be both functional and stylish, impressing guests whilst being long-wearing and easy to clean. With this in mind, ArchiPro has carefully handpicked a range of high-quality glass and tableware available across New Zealand to add a modern touch to any kitchen. Glassware and cups made of high-quality materials will typically last longer and maintain their original appearance too. High-quality glass for example, does not discolour and maintains its refractory properties. Designer glassware also tends to be incredibly stylish with aesthetic qualities that will enhance and elevate an occasion.

How to choose glassware that’s right for you

Elegant glassware options are highly sought after in New Zealand and are a great asset to a kitchen and home. It is important to have a range of glass and serveware for all your everyday and entertaining needs. Glass tumblers and mugs are almost universally owned for day to day use and wine glasses are much the same. Think carefully about any ongoing maintenance required when purchasing your glassware as well as its aesthetic look and style. A tumbler, for example, may look great in isolation but if it doesn’t fit your existing decor then it might not be a suitable choice. Consider the rim shape and how the outer wall feels in the hand when choosing double wall glass coffee cups.

Are glassware and cups safe to put in the dishwasher?

Yes, as a general rule most glassware and cups will be dishwasher safe. However, it is important to make sure that they are stacked securely to avoid chipping. You may also opt to handwash very fine, delicate glassware.

Is all glassware safe for use in microwaves?

Whilst most glassware is microwave safe, not all glassware is. It is best to check the bottom of the glassware for a label indicating that the glass is microwave safe. Some glass does not withstand rapid temperature changes, so is at risk of shattering in the microwave.

How do tumblers keep drinks cold?

Tumblers are made of two ‘layers’. The air between these layers has been removed, creating a vacuum. This stops the air around the drink from heating up and transferring heat to the drink in the tumbler, keeping it cooler for longer.

What are most coffee mugs made of?

Most coffee mugs are made of glazed ceramic. Glazed ceramic keeps the content of the mug hot, making it ideal for tea and coffee. It also has the added benefit of being resistant to temperature changes. It can therefore be washed out with cold water without shattering.
