Dual Functional Coffee Spoons

The Closepin Coffee Scoop is an All-in-One Kitchen Item

— August 26, 2021 — Art & Design
The Closepin Coffee Scoop was created by furniture designers and RISD grads Andrew Bannar and Ben Kicic. The practical tool is multifunctional, making it easy for users to store and scoop their coffee beans and grounds. As society progresses towards a fast-paced lifestyle, companies and designers are looking for innovative ways to improve the items we use.

To make the morning routine quick and straightforward, the two designers created the Closepin Coffee Scoop. Users can rely on this multifunctional kitchen tool to remain at arm's length, as it acts as both a scoop and a bag clip. After scooping coffee into the coffee maker, users can seal their beans using the scoop's clip. Available in green and black, the handy item is sleek in design.
