Beverage Pots

Beverage Pots for Tea, Coffee and Table Service

Beverage pots don’t really change all that much. They just need to pour smoothly, stay hot, and – let’s face it – be able to withstand the rough and tumble of daily service.

Our lot do all of that with ease. You’ll find teapots, coffee pots and a few bigger ones for those busy breakfast or meeting rooms. We’ve got them in porcelain and stoneware. And each one is built to be used again and again.

Some folks like to go for a classic white pot. Others prefer something a bit darker, as it hides marks and stains a lot better.

Either way is fine – it just depends on how you do things and how fast your team can move.

What You Can Expect To Find

We’ve got small pots for one or two people, and bigger ones for sharing with a table full. The handles stay put, even when they’re full to the brim.

The lids fit snug, and the glaze is smooth enough that you dont have to scrub to get the thing clean.

Most of them hold heat pretty well, although some of the more unusual shapes may do a bit better in this area.

Some people match their cups and pots, while others just choose based on what looks nice on the table. And both approaches are totally fine.

A Note from Service

“We switched to new teapots a year or so ago because the old ones were a right nuisance – they always seemed to leak, no matter who was pouring.

It was never a huge deal, until we changed them. And what a difference it made. We had fewer spills, less mess to clean up between covers.”
