Coffee spoons are small spoons that are specifically designed for stirring coffee or tea. They are typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or silver, and are smaller than regular teaspoons. The size of a coffee spoon is usually between 4 and 5 inches in length, with a bowl that is slightly smaller than a regular teaspoon. The handle of a coffee spoon is often shorter and more delicate than a regular teaspoon, making it easier to stir in a small cup. The use of coffee spoons dates back to the early 18th century when coffee houses became popular in Europe. At that time, coffee was served in small cups, and customers needed a small spoon to stir in sugar or cream. As coffee became more popular, the use of coffee spoons became more widespread, and they became a standard item in most households. Today, coffee spoons are still used for their original purpose of stirring coffee or tea. They are also used for measuring small amounts of ingredients, such as spices or extracts, in cooking and baking. Many coffee spoons are decorative and come in a variety of styles, such as ornate silver designs or modern stainless steel.
