Go to Stoke-on-Trent and go round the factory shops. You can normally find some really good deals. Anything from £8- to £2 per set (in the sales)

I've ordered beans over the 'net before, but never a cap - in fact I've never had a cap at all as I don't like milk ruining my coffee :)

Aren't they a bit on the cold side by the time they arrive :wink:
Sorry - been away for a while!

Being a bit of a bore, I would suggest that scrimping on your cups will devalue the beverage you serve. I accept that you are opening an Internet Cafe, so coffee may not be at the top of the list on expenditure, but if you are investing in an expensive coffee machine, it could be futile to then get the cheapest cups possible. Also remember, even if you can seat 50 people, they won't all be drinking coffee at once so you could reduce the number of cups by half - and increase your budge that way.

You could give Simon @ quickfire a try www.coffeecups.co.uk, shameless advertising but should be OK in the forum as I am not affiliated to them and just think Simon is a nice guy (and has done some real nice decorated cups for me on a number of occasions.)
