Bettina’s graceful curves are easier to maneuver around a meal than one might think, given their slightly skewed appearance. If there exists in this world a more perfectly formed coffee spoon that just begs to serve sugar lumps and stir, we have yet to find it. Wide, flat prongs will affect spearing ability, as more fork must stick through your food to secure it. An off-center spoon means soup-slurping will differ depending on which hand you favor (both hands work, but righties get the better side of the bowl).
