At 180mm in length, it is the larger of the two stirrer sizes in the NextWave wooden cutleries range, making it particularly well suited to larger cups, pots, and catering-volume beverage service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from sustainably sourced wood with a smooth paddle finish, the stirrer offers reliable performance without splintering or degradation during normal use.

The flat-paddle shape provides effective stirring performance for hot beverages including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e180mm length for deeper cups and catering vessels: The longer format provides adequate reach for larger takeaway cups, travel mugs, and catering pots where a standard 140mm stirrer may not reach the base of the vessel effectively. This makes the 180mm size the practical choice for operations using larger hot drink formats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSmooth paddle finish for comfortable handling: The flat wooden paddle is processed to a smooth finish, supporting comfortable handling by staff and customers during service.

Bulk supply reduces restocking frequency during busy service periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePlant-based and biodegradable material: The wood material is plant-based and uncoated, with no PE lining or plastic coating.
