Coffee Spoon Buyer’s Guide
Your choice of coffee spoon can make or break your morning coffee, as getting the perfect amount is vital. Overdo the coffee, and the result is a bitter taste. Too little on the other hand, and you’ll have coffee-flavoured water! Spoons used for lattes and cappuccinos are equally important, giving your coffee the finishing touch that it needs.
There’s a range of coffee spoons on the market to help you enjoy your coffee in the very best way. Not sure what to look for? Take a look at this buyer’s guide.
Material
Most coffee spoons are made from stainless steel, but some on the market are made from bamboo or beech wood.
Stainless steel is durable, lightweight and easy to clean. It can be used to both scoop the coffee and stir it, and they have a good heat resistance. Most are mirror polished which has a gorgeous shine.
Wooden coffee scoops can be used to scoop coffee grounds, but they usually aren’t suitable for stirring coffee. These are elegant and lightweight, and they’re also an eco-friendly choice. However, they’re a little fiddlier to clean and can rarely be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Design
The design you go for will depend on whether you’re after a scoop or a spoon. Coffee scoops are used to measure the precise amount of coffee you need, and they often come in a couple of different sizes, depending on whether you want a single or a double shot. Some scoops can be used to measure different amounts of coffee.
If you want to keep your coffee grounds fresher for longer, opt for a scoop with an integrated bag clip. These are easy to find and are a great multifunctional piece to have in your kitchen. The clip handle can be used to seal your coffee bag when not in use.
Coffee spoons, on the other hand, are used to stir your coffee. Those for lattes often have long handles, while cappuccino spoons have slightly shorter handles.
Pieces in the Set
Coffee spoon sets can come with any number of pieces included. Some scoop sets come with a few different sizes of scoops, while spoon sets may have up to 12 spoons included.
The number of pieces included doesn’t necessarily dictate the price, and often just 2 great quality coffee spoons can cost more than an everyday set of 12 spoons.
Conclusion
The right coffee spoon can complete your morning coffee, and it’s the Windsor Carded Store Stainless Steel Long Handled Latte Spoons that claim my top spot. With an elegant long handled design and durable stainless steel construction, these coffee spoons are a must-have for coffee mornings with friends.
