Now, that we have explained the obvious staining caused due to direct contact of cold drinks on the surface, let’s discuss the impact of a hot drink on the furniture. Hot beverages like tea and coffee can cause some permanent damage to your furniture if you don’t use any shield between the steaming hot glass/mug and the surface. Plus, since coasters have become a part of serving and table etiquette, it’s only natural you see them everywhere inside and outside of your home.
In restaurants, cafes, and bars, coasters are used for multiple purposes. The obvious ones are mentioned above. And another is that they are used as an indicator to the waiter that the customer hasn’t yet finished his/her drink. If you leave your drink and cover it with a coaster, your waiter will not clean the drink from your table.
Although marble and glass tables are not damaged by the staining, wooden furniture can get permanently damaged and stained. The coaster acts as a literal barrier between your furniture and condensation that develops at the bottom of the glass.
