Disposable Coffee Cups

Wholesale Disposable Coffee Cups — Paper, Recyclable & Compostable

Disposable coffee cups are the workhorse of takeaway hot drinks — from independent cafes to high-street chains, drive-throughs and office canteens. Westbids supplies wholesale disposable coffee cups across the UK with trade pricing from the first sleeve, no minimum order, and next-day delivery on weekday orders.

Choosing between paper, recyclable and compostable

The "disposable" label covers three different end-of-life paths, and which you choose matters more than ever for your brand:

Standard PE-lined paper cups — the conventional construction. Strong, leak-tight, recyclable through dedicated paper-cup recycling schemes.
Recyclable paper cups — same look and feel as standard, with linings designed to separate cleanly in standard paper-recycling mills.
Compostable paper cups (PLA-lined) — plant-based PLA lining instead of PE plastic. Certified to EN13432 industrial composting, ideal for venues with food-waste streams or sustainability-led brands. Pair with compostable lids for a fully compostable serving format.

Cup wall types — quick recap

Single wall — lowest cost, fits standard sleeves, best for short-distance grab-and-go
Double wall — built-in insulation, premium feel, no sleeve needed
Ripple wall — maximum insulation and grip, the high-end specialty option

For a fuller breakdown of constructions and lid pairings, see our coffee cups with lids guide.

Volumes that match UK serving sizes

We stock 4oz, 8oz, 12oz and 16oz across all three cup wall types. The sweet spot for most UK cafes is 8oz and 12oz — flat white volumes and the standard Americano respectively.

Trade pricing, no minimum order

Westbids is a UK wholesaler. You don't need to commit to a pallet. Buy a single box to test specifications, then re-order at the same trade price when you're ready to scale. Same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 5pm. We can also produce custom-branded coffee cups with your logo if you want disposable cups that reinforce your brand instead of ours.
