A demitasse spoon is a diminutive spoon, smaller than a teaspoon.[1] It is traditionally used for coffee drinks in specialty cups, such as a demitasse, and for spooning cappuccino froth. It is also used as a baby spoon,[2][3] and in some surgical procedures.[4]
Demitasse spoons are small, approximately three to four and a half inches in length, metal, usually silver but also in gold and stainless, with a wide bowl, and originally used to accompany coffee and tea in Europe and now North America.
The shape of a demitasse spoon is more appropriate.
We have found that a spoon with a bowl which is long and narrow, like a demitasse spoon, fits the baby's mouth better than one with a broad, round bowl.
A demitasse spoon is useful instrument to retain and protect the peritoneum during suturing
