How To Choose The Right Paper Coffee Cups

According to statistics, Americans’ love for coffee is manifest. Nearly 60% of all American adults consume one to three cups of coffee daily, and an astounding 21% consume four to eight cups.

There’s a huge range of disposable paper cups in the market. Starting from Coffee Cups, Ripple Paper Cup, and Paper Ice Cream Cup, to Muffin cups and Atlas cups, there’s a lot more on the list. Other than this, disposable paper cups come in many sizes with different benefits.

To help you not get lost in the different paper cup sizes and styles, we have put together a guide on how to pick the perfect-sized paper cups for your business.

DISPOSABLE PAPER RIPPLE COFFEE CUPS

When a rippled paper is stuck over a simple disposable paper cup, then it is said to be a Disposable Paper Rippled Coffee Cup. They are best for serving hot and cold beverages like tea, coffee, milk, cold drinks, etc. They are ergonomically designed and their texture makes them highly comfortable to hold. This style of the cup can alleviate the need to use coffee sleeves because it keeps your hand cooler.

Our Compostable Cups are made fully or lined with PLA Plastic, which is made from corn. Since it’s made out of corn it’s a renewable resource, so we’re not using petroleum like regular plastic.


Coffee cups are available in a wide range of sizes, from small cups that hold a single shot of espresso to large cups that hold lattes, Americanos, cappuccinos, and other water and milk-based coffee drinks. Normally, there are five sizes of disposable coffee cups as below:.

4 oz. Coffee Paper Cups

The smallest disposable coffee cups are usually four-ounce cups. Espresso-based drinks such as espresso macchiato are typically served in these cups. Having a sufficient amount of these cups on hand in your coffee shop can help you avoid using up all of your disposable coffee cups on smaller servings of espresso.

Small coffee cups are ideal for espresso shots, but they can also be used as sample cups, letting customers try out different coffee blends, brews, and other options before settling on what to buy.

8 oz. Coffee Paper Cups

Small coffee servings are typically served in eight-ounce coffee cups. These cups are the industry standard for serving small coffee drinks. If you offer small, medium, and large sizes, you might choose these cups for your “small” option.

These cups are constructed to hold a small to mid-sized Americano, latte, cappuccino, or other water or milk-based coffee without becoming weakened due to heat. They weigh eight ounces and are therefore large enough to hold a variety of hot beverages.

10 and 12 oz. Coffee Paper Cups

These cups are an excellent upsell choice for your mid-sized servings, as they provide a little more room than our eight-ounce cups. 11 and 13-ounce cups are mid-sized, making them an excellent option.

The 10- and 12-ounce sizes are slightly different in design and dimensions. The 10-ounce cups are shorter and have a wider circumference. The 12-ounce cups have a slimmer, taller design and are therefore ideal for lattes and cappuccinos with a lot of milk foam.

16 and 20 oz. Coffee Paper Cups

Are you looking for disposable coffee cups in 16 and 20-ounce sizes? Our cups are perfect for serving as a “large” or “extra large” serving size and can accommodate as much as two cups of coffee.

These large disposable cups are great as optional upsells for customers who really need a large jolt of caffeine in the morning, as well as those who prefer their coffee on the large side.

These disposable cups are designed with a tall, slender shape, similar to our smaller coffee cups. Their large capacity is compensated for by their small circumference, allowing them to still fit inside most vehicle cup holders for extra convenience.

Single-layer PE paper cups are used for hot drinks, whilst plastic ones are employed for cold ones, including iced coffees, blended coffee drinks, and smoothies.

You should have both PE paper cups, which can safely hold hot coffee without weakening or warping, and plastic cups, which are suitable for cold beverages if your coffee shop serves both hot and cold drinks.

Personalizing coffee cups is how to modify them. All of our coffee cup sizes, from four ounces to our extra-large 20-ounce disposables, can be customized.

Our disposable coffee cups can be customized with your color scheme, logo, brand name, tagline, and other information. Learn more about custom-printed coffee cups on our custom disposable cup branding page. Coffee businesses require cups and other supplies.
