Mepra Fantasia Vicuna American Coffee Spoons, Set of 4 | Italian 18/10 Stainless Steel

Colour that survives the dishwasher

Most flatware disappears. It sits on the table doing its job and adding nothing at all, which is a strange thing to accept from something you touch at every single meal. Mepra's Fantasia range answers that with a warm caramel tan with a quietly luxurious depth. These are proper Italian coffee spoons, made in Italy from 18/10 stainless steel at a full 4.0 mm thick, finished in a PVD titanium coating that bonds the colour to the metal instead of layering it on the surface.

Vicuna takes its name from the world's most prized natural fibre, and it carries the same understated richness.

Key features and benefits

• Set of four American coffee spoons in Vicuna, sized for coffee, espresso and dessert, and easy to build on as a collection.
• Made in Italy by Mepra from 18/10 stainless steel, the grade chosen for corrosion resistance and lasting shine.
• 4.0 mm thick and ergonomic, giving each spoon the weight and balance of premium flatware rather than the flex of a budget set.
• PVD titanium colour coating, a bonded finish rather than a painted one.
• Dishwasher safe, tested and guaranteed for more than 3,000 washes in a commercial dishwasher.
• Mix and match across the wider Fantasia colour range to build a table that is genuinely yours.

How to use

Use them for coffee, espresso and cappuccino, and for anything served in a small bowl or glass: desserts, yoghurt, affogato, ice cream. Set one on the saucer beside the cup, or above the plate for a dessert course. Because the Fantasia range shares one silhouette across every shade, you can run a single colour for a coordinated look or deliberately mix shades for a relaxed, collected table. Pairs especially well with cream and camel tones, wood, and brass.

Care instructions

Dishwasher safe, and built for it. For the longest-looking finish, rinse off salt, acidic foods and anything heavily seasoned before the spoons sit for long periods, avoid abrasive scourers and harsh bleach-based cleaners, and dry thoroughly after washing. Do not leave them soaking in standing water. Treated this way, the PVD colour and the steel beneath it will look the same in years as they do on the first night.

Why this is the better choice

Plenty of brands sell coloured flatware. Very few make it the way Mepra does. This is Italian manufacture, 18/10 stainless steel at a substantial 4.0 mm, and a PVD titanium coating that bonds colour to the steel rather than sitting on top of it as a paint layer. Mepra tests and guarantees that finish for more than 3,000 commercial dishwasher cycles, a far harsher standard than any home kitchen will ever apply.
