The Gray Kunz Spoon

Gray Kunz Spoon

We aren’t sure how this legend of cutlery escaped us all this time. A single piece of cutlery so infamous that it carries it’s inventor’s name. This is the Gray Kunz Spoon.

First of it’s pronounced “koons”. Gray Kunz, a successful New York chef who worked at Lespinasse, was being driven crazy by crappy flatware. He needed a spoon for cooking food or just platting dishes and what he had didn’t work. So he created his namesake tool to do just that. With a deep bowl, tapered edge, holding 2.5 tablespoons; a short handle, easy to control and perfectly balanced. This was the spoon he and every chef needed to created their dishes quickly and efficiently.

He had them manufactured in the late 90’s and soon every chef had one or wanted one.

Sadly, Gray Kunz passed away in March 2020. But his legend lives on.

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.
