Make Your Own Coasters & Why Do We Need A Coaster?


Do you know the people who always use roller coasters in your situation? Well, they are actually doing something! Coasters may be small, but in fact, their role in protecting furniture is beyond your imagination, especially when it is made of stone, marble, or wood.

Therefore, if you attend a party, please do not become a pest. You can put a cheap glass coaster under your glass! The same goes for sitting at home and drinking a refreshing drink. If you don't have one at hand, your desk may become a mess.

Do we need to use coasters?

You need a coaster to prevent "sweat" beverages such as beer, soda, water, and juice from leaving unsightly water circles and marks on your table.

These water rings are formed by condensation on the cup, bottle, or mug. If the temperature of the cold drink is below the dew point, the water will condense on the surface as a liquid. It's all dripping now, and it may leave a puddle underneath! At the same time, certain cups or glasses may leave small scratches or scratches on the table. This is especially true if you frequently move drinks.

The furniture is definitely not suitable for you!


With all of this in mind, it only makes sense to put down the coaster before putting down the drink. You will keep your furniture flawless and get interesting home decorations in one fell swoop.

What happens if you don't use the roller coaster?

A cup of water

Drinks without coasters may cause the table on which it is located to be soiled, discolored, dented, or scratched. If the drink is forgotten for a long time, the damage will only get worse.

Talk about serious party fouls!

You least want to spoil someone’s furniture at a birthday party or spoil your restaurant or coffee table while drinking a glass of wine after getting off work.

This may sound extreme, but in fact, there is evidence that all this is correct! To understand what I mean, look at the wooden table shown in the picture below. A glass of cold water left coasters on this table for more than 24 hours, resulting in some serious damage to the wood.

Please pay attention to the discoloration and residual water stains on the original glass. The glass also adheres to the surface, which is what causes the paint to peel off.

Fortunately, this is a cheap, broken table that has to be sent to the recycling center anyway, but what if it’s those expensive marble coffee tables you bought from Wayfair? Or the mahogany coffee table you splurge from Pottery Barn?

The existence of coasters is a real barrier between your beautiful furniture and the condensation on the bottom of your drink. So come on now-put down that roller coaster!

Which type of roller coaster is the best?

Okay, so you may not really consider which coaster you should buy, but it's still worth knowing which material works best. After all, you want the best value for money!

Eleven different coasters were tested to see which material is the most absorbent and does not stick to the glass. Everyone put a glass of cold water on it for more than 6 hours.

The results are as follows:

*These coasters are from make your own coasters. The results may vary depending on the material and the cup used for drinking.

Your choice of the coaster is a matter of preference, but in general, the most effective will be:

  • Pulpboard
  • cork
  • Neoprene
  • Ceramic products
  • plastic

The best coin display case coasters are made of materials that absorb moisture. When you pick up the glass to drink, it will not stick to the bottom of the glass. Any one of the five options is a winner, but this is not to say that the other materials are scrubs.

Stainless steel, glass, bamboo, leather, and copper are all good fashion choices. Just save them in your bottles, cups, and plastic cups, not your glasses!
