the origin story

out of everything i’ve done over the years, a spoon outshining me was the last thing on my 2026 predictions. the original spoon was picked up by my dad in a charity shop running a closing-down sale. since then, it’s caused quite the stir online, with 400M+ views across instagram and tiktok - not that there's anything wrong with that; its become a permanent part of my morning routine too, though probably for different reason(s). 

see, lattes are something i respect highly, so much so that i show up every morning for them. but standard latte spoons are fundamentally broken: if you try to rest them on a mug, they topple over; if you put them inside the mug, the entire spoon goes for a swim without your consent. so you can imagine the awe and joy i felt when this one actually sat firmly on the edge; this wasn't like the other cutlery...it was revolutionary.

unfortunately, nothing good lasts forever. i returned to the shop the following week to try and find this spoon's siblings, but was only met with a horrifying sight: the once elegant sage green and mahogany storefront now lay abandoned, ruined, and harassed with lashings of white paint, clearly the victim of either a corporation or the economy.

for most, the story would end there; a tragic but bittersweet fate. but that 'fate' was far from the fate it deserved, and so i set out to change that. over the next few months, i tried, tested, edited dozens of alternatives until i found what i think is the perfect spoon: correctly shaped, lightweight, 18/0 stainless steel, and magnetic so it snaps right onto an espresso machine or knife rack.

…which now brings us here: a spoon has its own website, and she's doing better than ever.
