• Cast iron teapots (Avanti Hobnail, Daisy, Majestic): 600ml, 1.2L — visual presence and excellent heat retention; for share-style tea service.
• Glass teapots (Avanti Dahlia): 400ml and 800ml — for floral and visual teas where colour matters.

Choosing for your service style

• Café tea service: Stackable porcelain in 500ml; personal-pot serving.
• Fine dining: Cast iron or Camelia for visual presentation; matched cups and saucers.
• Function and event service: Café press in 800ml for shared plunger coffee at table.
• Tea house and specialty: Glass teapots for visual teas; cast iron for traditional Japanese-style service.

Specifying quantities

Industry rule for teapots: 1 per 4 covers, with a backup pot for stained or chipped pots in rotation. A 100-seat venue with strong tea program needs 25-30 teapots. Personal pots need higher ratios — 1 per cover. Café presses cycle fast and need replacement pistons every 6 months.

Pair teapots and coffee makers with

Australian commercial hospitality covers a broad spectrum — quick-service chains, casual dining, fine dining restaurants, function and event centres, pubs and clubs, cafés, bakeries, hotels, aged-care kitchens, hospital food service, school canteens, government catering and the corporate function market. The right specification varies by venue type. We've supplied equipment to all of these, and that experience helps us flag when a piece of equipment is right-sized or when a different model would suit your throughput better.

All standard SKUs in this collection ship from our Melbourne warehouse, with freight to most metropolitan areas in 1–3 business days. Heavy and oversized items are dispatched on tail-lift trucks for ground-level delivery. We coordinate dispatch around your install date so equipment arrives when the kitchen is ready for it, not weeks ahead when it sits in the way. Trade accounts get consolidated freight pricing across multiple line items.

Teapot and coffee maker care and longevity

• Pre-warm before brewing: Cold pot strips heat from the brew; pre-warm with hot water before pouring tea.
• Don't put cast iron in the dishwasher: Strips the seasoning. Hand-wash and dry; a thin oil rub keeps the iron protected.
• Rinse stovetop espresso after each use: Ground coffee dries in the basket; daily rinse keeps the seal clean.
• Replace plunger seals before they leak: Worn rubber rings let grounds through — replace at first leak.
• Store cast iron dry: Damp storage rusts the inner surface. Air-dry completely before lid closure.
