Sugar Sachets, Stirrers and Condiments for Coffee Stations

A good self serve coffee station needs white and brown sugar, stirrers and not much else. Sugar sticks look neater in a pot and pour cleanly into a lid opening, while flat sachets are cheaper to stack and hand out. Use 140mm stirrers for small cups and 178mm stirrers for 12oz and 16oz cups. Salt and pepper sachets cover takeaway orders.

It's a small corner of the shop, but a messy sugar station is one of those things customers quietly judge.

Salt and pepper sachets

For takeaway and delivery, 1g salt sachets and black pepper sachets save you shaking salt into every bag. They also let customers season to taste at home.

Setting up the station

• White sugar, brown sugar, stirrers, napkins. That's the core.
• Add a bin right beside it for stirrers and wrappers.
• Check it every hour at peak time. An empty sugar pot is a small thing that annoys people.
