A cup of coffee with pastries feels extra special when everything is ready: cups, saucers, small spoons and forks. It is precisely these small pieces of cutlery that often come in handy, from the first cup of tea to a birthday celebration with a full table. Do you want to add to your coffee table? Then first consider the use, the number of guests and the shape of your existing cutlery.
A teaspoon and dessert fork each have their own place
For example, you use a teaspoon to stir sugar into tea or coffee. A dessert fork is intended for cake, pastries and other desserts that are pleasant to eat with a fork. They complement each other: when serving coffee with cake, you can lay out both pieces for each guest.
Pay attention to the size when choosing. Not every small spoon fits comfortably with every cup. Compare the available dimensions with your cups and the height of the rim. A different spoon may be more comfortable for a tall mug than for a small espresso cup. Also read how to choose the size of a coffee cup.
How many small spoons and forks are convenient?
Start with your usual group and allow for multiple rounds. For six guests with coffee and cake, for example, lay out six teaspoons and six dessert forks. A pack of twelve of one type of cutlery then provides a second set for a subsequent round or later visitors. How many spares you find convenient depends on your washing routine and available storage space.
Count the pieces of cutlery separately. Twelve teaspoons are not a mixed set with dessert forks. In our loose cutlery collection, these types are listed separately, so you can add exactly what you need.
Choose a design that matches your coffee set
The Kadirelli teaspoons in gold/black are offered in packs of twelve with slim black handles. For pastries, you can look at the Kadirelli dessert forks in gold/black, twelve pieces. Always compare the product photos and specifications when combining different types of cutlery.
Prefer a fully gold-colored accent? View the Kadirelli gold teaspoons with a slim handle. For dessert forks, there are also other shapes, such as the gold-colored version with a teardrop-shaped handle. The same color does not automatically make different handles part of the same model.
This is how you set a practical coffee table
- Set out the cups. Choose cups that suit the drink and place the teaspoons beside them.
- Give pastries their own place. Place a dessert fork next to the pastry plate.
- Keep spare cutlery within reach. Store clean spoons and forks separately for the next round.
- Coordinate the presentation. Repeat a color from the cutlery in the saucers or napkins.
For styling, compare Bricard coffee cups and cake stands. The cake stand with dome selection guide helps you find a suitable size.
Keeping things beautiful starts with the right care
Follow the care instructions on the packaging for each piece of cutlery, especially with a colored finish. Do not assume that every version can be cleaned in the same way. Compare the models in the Kadirelli brand collection and add exactly the pieces that make your coffee moment easier.
