Coffee Stirrers Types and Styles

Buy coffee stirrers that best match your restaurant or office

Deciding on the right coffee stirrers types and styles involves more than just choosing between plastic and wooden coffee stirrers. It means matching a product to its setting. While you're more likely to find wooden coffee stirrers in diners, upscale gourmet shops might decide to indulge their customers with chocolate covered coffee stirrers-and perhaps even the handmade variety.

Following are some handy tips and resources for learning about the varying coffee stirrers types and styles:

1. Consider what style serves best as a coffee stirrer for restaurants.

2. Find out how many different varieties of gourmet coffee stirrers are available for restaurants and offices.

3. Discover what is most appealing about different types of handmade coffee sticks.

4. Choose the most appropriate style coffee stirrer for your office.

 

Know the most popular restaurant coffee stirrers

Coffee stirrers are no different than other restaurant small wares - certain types and styles seem to be more popular than others.
Try: As the product list on Instawares shows, most restaurants seem to prefer the 5-inch coffee stirrer, in plastic or wood. As the Webstaurant Store product list shows, most of the 7-inch coffee stirrers are made of wood and come individually wrapped in bulk packages. Chef2Chef offers more unique wood coffee stirrers, the contoured variety made of bamboo.

Indulge your staff or patrons with coffee sticks made of chocolate

Also known as chocolate spoons, this particular type of coffee stirrer is special because the chocolate coating melts into the hot liquid its stirred into.
Try: Both Gourmet Coffee Express and Apex Gift Foods sell chocolate spoons-Gourmet's come in six flavors while those from Apex come in four.

Discover different types of handmade coffee stirrers

The handmade versions offer a larger variety of coffee stirrers-both in type of chocolate used and in design.
Try: At Tipnut, you'll learn that handmade chocolate spoons are made of white, milk and dark chocolate and also contain different chocolate flavorings. All Free Crafts shows a different decoration for handmade coffee stirrers. As Chocolate Candy Mall demonstrates, some chocolate spoons are made of heavy duty plastic bases, have wedding designs and are wrapped in cellophane. Garnishes for spoons on the Daily Tiffin Blogspot range from sparkling sugar to mini marshmallows.

Find the right type of office coffee stirrers

You'll discover even more types of coffee stirrers when you move beyond the restaurant and handmade chocolate versions to find out what kind of coffee stirrer is most popular in offices.
Try: ToiletPaperWorld's stirrers are made of birchwood and are square in shape. B2B Free Zone sells at least three different types of wooden coffee stirrers. Cooks Direct sells wooden coffee stirrers to office in the 5- and 7-inch styles. The 5-inch wooden coffee stirrers at Reliable Paper are biodegradable and made of birchwood.
