Professional Coffee Cupping Spoon

Professional Coffee Cupping Spoon

The Professional Coffee Cupping Spoon? Who knew? Who knew it existed? Who knew I would need to buy this for my Uncle the coffee freak. I wouldn’t say this is single purpose cutlery though, it could be used in the kitchen for many other purposes. Including some serious soup or gravy work.

The Professional Coffee Cupping Spoon from Rhinowares is made from 304 food grade stainless steel. It is 1.5 x 1.1 x 6.2 inches in size and a hefty 1.6 ounces.

What more can be said? If you need fancy flatware for your coffee tasting needs, this seems to be the cupping cutlery you are looking for.

Twirling Spaghetti Fork

There has been a flurry of activity on the Internets this past week about the twirling spaghetti fork. There are many styles and types of spaghetti forks out there so we will take a look at a few choices…

Donkey Blue Rolognese - Wooden Twirling Spaghetti Fork

The manually operated Donkey Blue Rolognese – Wooden Twirling Spaghetti Fork is from a German company and seems to be focused on children. But a very simple design made of sustainable wood and stainless steel makes it seem very practical.

PK Twirling Spaghetti Fork

The PK Twirling Spaghetti Fork is battery powered and got the most attention on the Internets. This powered cutlery requires two AAA batteries and they claim dishwasher safe, but we’d take out the batteries first.

for-Ghetti Spaghetti Fork

And last but not least and our favorite solution is the For-Ghetti Spaghetti Fork from the Rehabilitation Advantage Store. This simple design requires no cranks or batteries. It’s genius design is four specially-designed nubs on each of the outer tines to catch and hold the spaghetti in place. This is function over form design in flatware.

Dixie SmartStock Utensil Dispenser

Dixie SmartStock Utensil Dispenser

There have been a lot of requests to us for more info on this product. We’ve found a bit more…

In Food Courts, Buffets and Cafeterias there are usually an open tray or bins of cutlery for you to take what you need. Sometimes there is an issue with contamination with the dirty hands of the public grabbing in that bin of forks, knives and spoons. Many times there is a problem of people taking extra cutlery home with them (it’s more common than you think).

In comes the Dixie® SmartStock® Cutlery Dispenser which automatically dispenses pre-counted and pre-assembled cutlery packages. It dispenses prewrapped Dixie brand disposable plastic recyclable cutlery.

hicorfe Portable Utensil Set with Case

hicorfe Portable Utensils Set with Case

Bring-your-own cutlery (BYOC) is getting a lot more attention these days due to health concerns. Taking your own cutlery to the office or eating out at cafes is more common now. One of the draw backs of various portable packed flatware was size and easy of use. They tended to be tiny weird plastic contraptions. The company “hicorfe” looks to address that with this set of portable adult sized utensils.

This is a proper knife, fork and spoon in carrying case. The knife has decent serrations for cutting meat and they all have nice wooden handles. The durable case is made from food grade PP Plastic and the cutlery from 430 stainless steel and natural wood. They had some problem with the case design but rebuilt it and are offering refunds on old ones.

They are a decent size as well: 7.8 inches knife, 7.5 inches fork, 7.6 inches spoon and 9.3 inches for the carrying case.

Not dishwasher safe due to the wood on the handles but this really should just be hand washed and dried properly before being put in the case.
