Crockery that doesn’t stain from coffee etc

[jac]

New to us boat came without crockery and we included our old stuff in sale of our boat so need to get some suitable for boat crocker.

I’m keen to get stuff that doesn’t absorb the stain from coffee or tomato based food. Anyone got any recommendations they can share??

Coffee colour mugs.

I use Corelle ware, it vitrified glass like, virtually unbreakable, doesn't stain easily, light, easy to wash and air drys quickly.
I've used a set of 8 for the last 10years on the boat.
No breakages, great stuff.

Decent bone china (and leaded glass).

Life is too short to eat good food and drink good wine using plastic

Bit of bleach in, every few weeks gets them back.

I use Milton Fluid or the cheaper own brand version.

I love a decent dram from a lead crystal glass, but can't justify a new boat!

We use ordinary porcelain mugs for tea and coffee . Some do get stained but not a big issue.
Real glass for drinks - do get the occasional breakage almost always when folk have had one too many .
But we do have some melamine plates which we have had for years . Try Wayfair perhaps

We used to use plastic but now that we have grown up we use those tough white glass mugs they sell in chandleries with pretty anchors on, and they are still white after twenty years.

Pyrex? That's resistant to most things!
Personally I have normal Tesco plates and bowls on board (for in harbour) as the plastic stuff stains and is awful to clean.
On the move it's stainless mess tins and pots as it can get a bit lively on my little boat.

Don’t think there is any substance that Is immune from ‘tomato’ staining.
I avoid glass on the boat, (still have the scars from a broken bottle on board years ago) so mugs are s/s and drinking ‘glasses’ are acrylic. Wine? We use wine boxes on board.
Bicarbonate of Soda is quite good at removing tea/coffee stains,

We use ordinary ceramic mugs, and have done so for umpteen years on both mono and multihulls. Wine glasses and tumblers for whisky are stowed carefully at sea. Our plates, melamine or such like, do not stain but came with a boat I bought in 1981 so unlikely to be around now.

How does that work then? You shove the nozzle in your mouth and open the tap?

and squeeze the bag. Its beginning to look like a scene from Casualty.

Seems that with our onboard crockery it's tea that leaves stains, coffee just seems to rinse clean

Have thought about it at times, but find acrylic wine glasses adequate for most occasions.

Acrylic glasses, a mixture of ceramic and melamine mugs and the original Dufour bowls and plates which seem to be in that typically French vitrified glass. We follow the French habit of just using ordinary tumblers for the vinho de mesa, rather stemmed ones, which have too high a centre of gravity.
As for bottles of wine, two bottles can be accommodated in the dedicated stowage in the saloon table and do not come out until the boat is at rest, and when empty stowed in the same place, so no great danger of breakage.

At the moment Ikea has the same stuff (but in plain white) at significantly lower prices. It's made in France and is, as you say, perfect for the boat.

 

[Hoolie]

We have the Tesco equivalent budget range. As you say it's French made tempered white glass. It's been on board for maybe 16/17 years now and we've never had a breakage!

ps: It doesn't stain at all from anything that's put on it ...
