Best disposable coffee cups for a small catering side hustle?
Hi all, I started doing small coffee catering for birthdays and corporate coffee breaks (10–30 people). I need reliable coffee cups disposable bulk with lids that actually stay on during transport and don’t make the cups collapse when people hold them. I’ve wasted money on thin ones that leaked or cracked. Looking for 200–500 pcs packs that feel decent quality without restaurant-level prices. What brands or sellers have you been happy with lately? Any horror stories to avoid? Thanks!

For small events I usually grab 16 oz ones with black lids and corrugated sleeves — they’re sturdy enough that cups don’t get too hot to hold and the lids snap on tightly so nothing spills in the car. I’ve tried the super-cheap no-name packs and they’re awful — lids pop off, cups dent easily. These ones I’ve been re-ordering for the last year hold up well even with hot brew and have consistent quality across packs. You can see the exact set I use here: coffee cups disposable bulk . Shipping was fast too. If you go smaller (12 oz) they sometimes feel flimsier, so I stick to 16 oz for versatility.
