The slate effect coaster in two lines
This is the slate effect coaster, square at 10 by 10 centimetres, in a synthetic polymer that takes on the look of stone: dark, matt and light.
Who it is for
For anyone who wants the drink noticed and not what it stands on. It is the choice of a quiet service, where the coaster does its job and asks for no attention.
The look of stone without the stone
A coaster in real slate is heavy, chips at the edges and over time leaves dark dust on the table. The synthetic polymer of the slate effect coaster gives the same matt look and the same dark tone at sixty grams, with no corners that break. It is a stated imitation, and in a venue serving dozens of covers a night it is the practical choice.

Why dark works under a drink
Because almost every cocktail is pale or translucent, and against a dark rest the colour of the liquid stands out. On a white coaster a gin and tonic and a vodka soda look the same; on a dark one the rim of the glass and the level of the drink read clearly, and the photograph the guest takes at the table comes out better. It is a gain nobody asks for and everyone notices.
Ten by ten, and why square
Ten centimetres is the size that goes under any cocktail glass without sticking out too far. The square shape, against a round one, lines up with the edge of the table and with the other coasters: on a table of four, four squares set straight read as a mise en place, four round ones read as four objects put down.
Quiet or themed
The slate effect coaster is the quiet answer. For a playful service there are the vinyl record and floppy disk models, which say something about the venue before the drink even arrives. The choice follows the tone of the place: where the theme is part of the identity a neutral coaster wastes an opening, and where the service is formal a themed coaster jars.
How many to keep
Twice the covers you serve at one time. A wet coaster does not go back under the next drink, so you need a second round while the first dries: buy as many as you have seats and by the end of the night half of them are unusable and get used damp anyway.
Care
A wipe with a damp cloth and a dry off, or a wash in warm water for the ones that come back soiled. The polymer does not absorb, so stains do not go in; what is left is the sticky film of sugars, which comes away at once and only turns awkward if it is left to dry for days.
Sixty grams, which is the right weight
A coaster that is too light lifts with the glass when condensation sticks the two together, and falls halfway; one that is too heavy is another object to move when clearing. Sixty grams is the weight that stays on the table when the guest raises the drink, and it is more than the rubber models in the same family weigh.
