CILEONBE Stainless Steel Skull Sugar Spoons

They hit a surprisingly wide audience. Daily coffee and tea drinkers love them as functional, eye-catching stirring spoons. Gothic and skull aesthetic fans display them on their coffee stations. Home bartenders use them for cocktail work. Halloween enthusiasts pull them out for seasonal table settings. And they're a reliable gift for anyone who appreciates unique kitchen items. The only people who might be disappointed are those looking for a precise sugar-scooping spoon — the skull cutouts let fine granules slip through.

Yes, they're dishwasher safe. They're made from 304 stainless steel, which handles dishwasher cycles without issue. Reviewers confirm they're easy to clean — you can toss them in the dishwasher after use without worrying about the black coating or the skull detail degrading. For hand washing, the skull cutouts don't trap residue the way you might expect.

They're practically made for it. Multiple reviewers bought them specifically for Halloween table decorations, and they get strong reactions from guests. The black skull design fits right into a spooky theme without looking cheap or costume-store tacky — they're actual functional spoons that happen to look perfectly Halloween. After October, they transition right back to daily coffee and tea use, so you're not buying single-occasion decorations.

Absolutely — and some people already do. Reviewers mention using them behind the bar specifically for layering drinks, where the skull bowl design actually helps control the pour. They're also a hit as cocktail stirrers for themed parties or Halloween events. The heavy stainless steel construction means they won't bend or feel flimsy when working with thicker cocktail ingredients.

This is a bit inconsistent. Several reviewers mention receiving a protective felt pouch or case for storing the spoons, and they love it — it keeps the set together and prevents scratching. However, at least one reviewer noted their set didn't include the pouch. So while many sets do come with storage, it may not be guaranteed with every purchase. It's worth checking the current listing details before ordering if the case is important to you.

One reviewer reported receiving a spoon where the skull design wasn't cut out properly — so the decorative detail was incomplete on that one piece. This seems to be an isolated incident rather than a widespread problem, since the vast majority of reviews praise the construction quality and solid feel. The set of six means even if one spoon has a minor defect, you've still got five working perfectly. Most reviewers describe them as well-made and nicely finished.

These CILEONBE skull spoons work as everyday stirring spoons for coffee and tea, but they pull double duty as decorative pieces. Reviewers use them for stirring drinks, scooping sugar and desserts, and even layering cocktails behind a bar. They're standard teaspoon size, so they fit comfortably in mugs and cups. The skull design also makes them popular as display pieces on coffee and tea stations — they look great just sitting in a spoon holder.

304 stainless steel — which is what these CILEONBE skull spoons are made from — is widely considered the gold standard for kitchen utensils. It's food-safe, rust-resistant, and holds up to daily use and dishwasher cycles without corroding or tarnishing. Reviewers specifically call out the heavy, solid feel of these spoons, which is a hallmark of quality 304 stainless steel. The black coating adds visual appeal while maintaining that durability.

A 'perfect spoon of tea' traditionally refers to using one rounded teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup. These CILEONBE skull spoons are standard teaspoon size, so they work for measuring out loose leaf tea — though the skull design with its eye hole cutouts means very fine tea particles could slip through. They're ideal for stirring tea once it's brewed, and the heavy 304 stainless steel won't transfer unwanted flavors to your cup the way some cheaper metals can.

The three most common spoon sizes are the teaspoon, dessert spoon, and tablespoon. These CILEONBE skull spoons are teaspoon-sized, which makes them the most versatile of the three — perfect for stirring tea and coffee, measuring small amounts, and eating desserts. At teaspoon size, they sit comfortably in standard mugs without the handle sticking out awkwardly, and they're the right proportion for stirring without splashing.

Chefs typically use small tasting spoons or barista spoons for sampling. While these CILEONBE skull spoons aren't traditional chef tasting spoons, their teaspoon size and heavy stainless steel construction make them perfectly functional for tasting. Interestingly, some reviewers mention using them in cocktail bars for layering drinks — so they're finding their way into professional food and beverage settings, even if more for the aesthetic than tradition.

5ml is a teaspoon. A tablespoon is 15ml — exactly three times larger. These CILEONBE skull spoons are teaspoon-sized, so they hold roughly 5ml of liquid. Just keep in mind that the decorative skull cutouts in the bowl mean they're better for stirring and approximate measuring than precision measurement. If you need exact 5ml doses for something like medicine, a measuring spoon is more reliable.
