Wesdxc56 Gold Demitasse Espresso Spoons

The stainless steel (silver) versions are dishwasher safe — reviewers confirm they hold up fine. The gold and other colored versions are a different story. The colored coating tends to flake and degrade in the dishwasher, so you'll want to hand-wash those. If convenience is a priority and you don't want to baby your spoons, go with the plain stainless finish.

Yes — and this is one of the most popular unexpected uses. Several reviewers discovered these work perfectly for feeding babies around 5-6 months old. The small, smooth bowl is a comfortable size for little mouths, and the stainless steel is food-safe. Just make sure to check the edges of the handle, as a couple of reviewers mentioned they can be slightly sharp. A quick feel before using them with a baby is a good idea.

For everyday durability, stainless steel is the go-to — it's rust-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and doesn't affect flavor. These Wesdxc56 spoons are stainless steel, and reviewers confirm the silver/stainless version holds up well in the dishwasher. One thing to note: the gold-colored version has a coating over the steel, and several reviewers report the gold finish can flake off after repeated washing. If longevity matters most, stick with the plain stainless steel version or hand-wash the gold ones.

Yes, they're a great match. Tea For One sets typically have smaller cups, and a regular teaspoon tends to look oversized and clumsy in them. These demitasse spoons are proportioned to complement small tea cups and fine china. Reviewers who use them for formal tea service and tea parties specifically praise the elegant appearance and appropriate scale.

For stirring espresso, tea, or folding foam, the bowl works well — that's what these are designed for. However, one reviewer noted the bowl is relatively shallow, which means they're not ideal for scooping tasks. If you're planning to use them for eating gelato or pudding, they'll work but you'll get small bites. For stirring and light serving, the depth is fine.

Absolutely — reviewers specifically mention using these for charcuterie board spreads, dips, and appetizer sauces at parties. Their small size makes them perfect for spreaders and condiment spoons without overwhelming the board. The gold finish in particular looks elegant for entertaining, though keep in mind you'll want to hand-wash them after to preserve the color.

Yes, and there's a nice bonus — reviewers mention these work well for stirring pourover coffee without scratching the filter. The small, smooth bowl lets you give a gentle stir to your coffee bed during brewing without the risk of tearing delicate paper filters. It's a niche use, but if you're into pourover, these pull double duty.

If you need spoons for regular-sized coffee mugs or standard tea cups, these will feel comically small — they're designed for 2.5-5oz cups, not 12oz mugs. Also, if you want a deep scooping spoon for ice cream or cereal, the shallow bowl won't satisfy. And if you're buying the gold version and plan to dishwasher them regularly, expect the finish to deteriorate. These are specialty spoons for small cups and elegant service, not everyday replacements for your teaspoons.

The spoon serves a few purposes: it's for stirring sugar into your espresso, skimming or folding the crema (that golden foam layer on top), and checking the consistency of the shot. A proper demitasse spoon like these Wesdxc56 ones is sized so it fits the tiny cup without splashing. Reviewers specifically mention these work well for folding espresso foam and stirring without making a mess, which is exactly what that little spoon is for.

They're essentially the same thing. A demitasse spoon is specifically designed for demitasse cups (those small 2-3oz espresso cups), and a coffee spoon is a general term for smaller spoons used with coffee. These Wesdxc56 spoons are marketed as both — they're the proper petite size for espresso service, typically around 4-4.5 inches long, which is noticeably smaller than a standard teaspoon. If you're expecting a regular-sized spoon, these will feel tiny, but that's exactly the point for espresso and small tea cups.

A standard teaspoon is used for stirring, measuring, and general eating. These Wesdxc56 spoons are actually smaller than a teaspoon — they're demitasse spoons, designed for smaller cups. They're ideal for stirring espresso, small tea cups (especially fine china and Tea For One sets), and portioning small desserts. Reviewers have also found creative uses: baby feeding, charcuterie board spreaders, appetizer sauces, and even craft projects. Just don't expect them to replace your regular teaspoons for cereal or soup.

Practically, yes. 'Demitasse' is French for 'half cup,' and it refers to those small 2-3oz cups traditionally used for espresso in European coffee culture. Modern espresso cups are essentially demitasse cups. These Wesdxc56 spoons are proportioned for exactly that size — reviewers confirm they pair perfectly with espresso cups and small tea cups in the 2.5-5oz range, including Tea For One sets and fine china.

A 'perfect spoon of tea' usually refers to using the right amount of loose leaf — roughly one teaspoon per cup. These Wesdxc56 demitasse spoons are smaller than a standard teaspoon, so they're not ideal for measuring tea. Where they shine is stirring — they're perfect for small tea cups, Tea For One sets, and formal tea service where a full-sized teaspoon would look clunky. If you're serving afternoon tea with fine china, these are the right scale.

The three most common spoon sizes are the tablespoon (largest, for serving), the teaspoon (mid-size, the everyday workhorse), and the demitasse or espresso spoon (smallest, for espresso cups and small servings). These Wesdxc56 spoons fall into that third category — they're noticeably smaller than a standard teaspoon, which surprises some buyers who aren't familiar with demitasse sizing. If you need a regular teaspoon, these aren't it. But for espresso, small tea cups, and petite desserts, they're the correct size.
