Alpina Cork Coasters: Simple Protection for Your Table

Testing everyday homeware across France for this Great Finds column highlights the enduring appeal of tactile basics. The Alpina cork coasters, arriving in a six-piece set of 10cm rounds or squares, add a muted, earthy texture to a busy coffee table. They provide a reassuringly soft, silent landing for a heavy ceramic mug, releasing a faint, naturally woody scent straight from the packaging. While I've found their porous surface absorbs stubborn espresso drips if not wiped swiftly, the thick, non-slip base reliably saves delicate timber from heat rings.
