coffee stirrer

Hot drink tool

A coffee stirrer is a small stick or rod used to mix cream, sugar, or other additions into coffee or similar beverages.

Most are disposable—thin wooden or plastic sticks provided at cafés and coffee shops.

Some are reusable spoons or swizzle sticks.

The term sometimes appears in discussions of single-use plastics.
