These tie the whole coffee bar together
I’m so glad I bought these before I started trying to make coffee. I just got my first espresso maker and wanted to stock up on accessories before diving in. Out of everything I bought (besides the glasses of course) I think this is THE MOST ESSENTIAL - along with a set of microfiber towels to wipe up whatever’s left. Unless you want to be constantly mopping up messes and ruining your countertops, GET THESE!When I was a barista, I worked one job that had nothing like this and the other that had these exact mats. I remember constantly mopping up coffee grounds and water and milk at the first job. At the second one I remember washing these in the sink at the end of the day. That’s the difference! They work as a holder of ingredients, in-progress drinks, messes, and even a dish drying rack when you rinse out your steaming cups or shot glasses.I rarely write reviews but I already love these. Next step is to get these, but for my floor… I’m already stepping in the water that’s fallen out of my groupheads as I run to the sink to clean it out.By the way, in my photos you’ll see that I was able to 1) use these to cover up a scuff on my bar. AND 2) they fit over my counter from end to end PERFECTLY… that happened completely by accident and it absolutely contributing to my 5-star review and rating. Very, very satisfying.
