The most important bar mat function is to absorb water. When a glass of beer is brought to the front, there will be foam and water (condensed water droplets on the wall of the cool beer glass). If there is no coaster, you will find that there will be water at the bottom of the glass, preventing drinkers from frequently raise a glass (imagine the drink running down the sleeve tube down the forearm when you lift the glass at one end).
In fact, the role of coasters is still very large, especially for people who drink a lot, if they sit down and drink at a table without coasters, they will feel bad for the whole person.
In addition, the bar mat extends to another level in the bar culture, you can play some games on the back, you can also write down the Tel..Mail …. or something else of the friends you met during the drinking process.
In the early days, the prototype of the coaster was a piece of cloth or paper that covered the cup. Its function was to prevent small bugs or other foreign objects from running into the wine. Later, it was found that the pad at the bottom of the cup has a greater effect, so there is a beer pad made of rubber.
The functions of bar mats are as follows:
Waterproof. In the earliest days, the bar and tabletop of the bar were all made of wood, and the spilled liquor would seep into the wood, which would dampen the wood, causing cracking, mold, and rot. Then we developed rubber bar mat, they are environmental and easy clean, so many people also would like to choose rubber bar mat, they are very hot selling in the market.
Easy to clean the bar. If the bar and table top that have been dipped in wine for a long time are not cleaned, the surface will be sticky, which will always affect the overall feeling of the bar to some extent.
Non-slip. In later bars, the wooden utensils were varnished, and the smooth surface made it easier for the cups placed on it to slide when exposed to water.
Accounting. In many western countries, drinking has the habit of drinking first and then paying the bill. In order to facilitate memory, the bar guy will mark on the coaster after serving the wine, usually a vertical line is drawn on a cup, and a horizontal line is added after the four vertical lines, just like we write the word “positive” to count the number. If there are other drinks, they will be marked with an abbreviation before the mark. In addition, there is another way of accounting, a glass of wine is given to a coaster, and the number of coasters will be settled at the final checkout.
Social contact. The bar is a mixed place, and the effect of alcohol is easy to let people down, so coasters have been developed with a social function. For example, play some small games with the back of the coaster, write down the phone, email, WeChat, etc. of “new friends”.
In addition, there are small functions such as shock absorption and thermal insulation. In the end, of course, coasters became part of the bar culture.
The beer mug is combined with the bar mat design, so that the mug will not slide easily. The water droplets of the ice drink will also slide into the coaster to ensure the refreshing of the coaster. Combined with high-quality stainless steel material, beer has become a great enjoyment of life.
