Crystalware, Plastic Stir Straw, Sip Stirrer, For Coffee and Cocktail, 7 1/2 Inches 1000/Box, Black

I’ve been using these Crystalware stirrers for a few weeks now, and they’ve basically become a staple in my kitchen and my travel bag. I live in Florida and spend a lot of time on the road, so I’m constantly making coffee in 20oz or 30oz travel tumblers. If you’ve ever tried to stir a tall mug with those tiny 5-inch sticks, you know the struggle of getting your fingers dipped in hot coffee. These are 7.5 inches, so they actually reach the bottom without the disappearing act. The Real-World Experience I primarily use these for my morning brew and the occasional evening cocktail. In terms of performance, they do exactly what they’re supposed to do. The black color looks a bit more professional than the cheap white ones, which is nice if you have people over. Heat Resistance: They handle standard hot coffee and tea just fine. I haven’t had any issues with them melting, though I did notice if the water is boiling-hot (like right off the stove for tea), they can get a little "bendy" or soft. They don't snap, but they lose some of that rigidity. Sipping vs. Stirring: These are definitely more "stirrers" than "straws." You can sip through them, but they have a very thin diameter. It’s fine for a quick taste to check the sugar level, but don't expect to drink a whole iced latte through one unless you want a workout for your jaw. Durability: For a hollow plastic stick, they’re pretty sturdy. I’ve used a single stirrer for a thick protein shake and it held up, though for anything really heavy, you might need to double up. Value for Money You get 1,000 in a box. Honestly, for the price, the value is hard to beat. I’m pretty sure this single box will last me well into next year, even with daily use and taking handfuls with me when I travel. It’s way cheaper and more convenient than constantly washing spoons or buying smaller packs at the grocery store. Pros and Cons The Good: The Length: At 7.5 inches, these are perfect for tall cups and thermoses. The Quantity: 1,000 count is a massive supply for the price. BPA-Free: Always good to know when you’re sticking plastic into a hot drink. Cleanliness: No weird plastic aftertaste or "factory smell" when you open the box. The Not-So-Good: Flimsy in High Heat: As I mentioned, they can soften up in very hot liquids. Thin Diameter: Not great if you actually want to use them as a primary drinking straw. Final Verdict If you just need something reliable to mix cream and sugar into a large coffee or to stir a gin and tonic, these are great. They aren't "heavy duty" by any means, but they are practical, cheap, and the extra length makes a huge difference for travel mugs. I’ll definitely be grabbing another box once I eventually run out.

It's sturdy being some what thick. Doesn't bend when you put it in a cup with fresh hot coffee. Being 7 1/2" long is great for 16oz. cups. For the price for our office and having a count of 1000, it's cheap. These have lasted for about two years now and still going strong.

They worked very well

Good buying experience. Quality product at a great price.

These stirrers do exactly what they’re meant to they’re lightweight, disposable and come in a huge pack that lasts forever. I purchased them for coffee, tea and even cocktails at my Airbnb. The guests appreciate having them on hand. They’re slim enough to double as mini straws for light drinks though not ideal for thicker liquids. The plastic is pretty sturdy for stirring without snapping, and bendability?--I actually tried bending it and it passes the test (see video) and the bulk quantity makes them perfect for hosting or office setups. If you need a no-frills, budget-friendly stirrer that gets the job done, this pack is a solid choice.

Does it stir? Absolutely. Does it stir with flair? Debatable. But if you’re looking for a tool that can mix cream and sugar like a caffeinated wizard’s wand, this is it. It’s basically the Gandalf of the coffee world—small, wooden, and silently judging your decaf. It has a sleek, minimalist design we've come to admire. Truly a versatile tool. It can double as a tiny office sword or it can be used to poke your coworker who's been talking about their sourdough starter for waaaay too long. Absolutely would recommend and will purchase again.

Very sturdy

I appreciate that they're sturdy and don't bend easily when stirring drinks. The black color gives them a clean and elegant look, perfect for meetings, the office, events, or for using at home if you drink coffee daily like I do. The box also helps keep them organized and makes them easy to use.

The straws themselves are great for what I use them for (vocal warm-ups). The packaging however, was smashed in shipping.

Replaced paper straws for drinking boxes.

Great small drink straws, little on the flimsy side

Straws are great length but way too tiny to sip with. Good for stirring.

Too thin to drink out of
