Coffee & tea spoons for hot beverages

The classic coffee or tea spoon is smaller than a table spoon and ideal for stirring coffee, tea or other hot drinks. Coffee spoons are also frequently used for portioning sugar or serving small desserts when dedicated dessert spoons are not available.

The dessert spoon sits between the table spoon and the tea spoon in size. It is perfect for desserts, ice cream, fruit salads or smaller starters and is often used together with dessert forks or cake forks.

Ice cream spoons – ideal for gelaterias

An ice cream spoon has a longer handle than a dessert spoon, allowing it to easily reach the bottom of tall sundae glasses or dessert coupes. It is equally suited to yoghurt, parfaits or other layered desserts. LUSINI also offers shorter ice cream spoons that pair perfectly with flatter ice cream bowls.

Long drink spoons for a wide range of beverages

The long drink spoon – also known as an iced tea or soda spoon – has a particularly long handle. This makes it ideal for stirring drinks in tall glasses, such as long drinks, cocktails, iced tea, latte macchiato or milkshakes.

The best materials for spoons

Professional catering spoons are made predominantly from high-quality stainless steel and are specifically developed for daily use in the hospitality industry. 18/10 stainless steel has proven particularly reliable. An 18/10 spoon impresses in day-to-day operations with its high corrosion resistance, long-lasting shine and pleasant feel. The material is taste-neutral, exceptionally durable and fully dishwasher-safe.

As an alternative, 18/0 stainless steel is also used. It is equally robust and hygienic, making it especially suitable for operations with high cutlery turnover. LUSINI offers a variety of cutlery series in premium stainless steel and a range of designs – for example with matt finishes, coloured coatings or handles in wood or wood-effect.
