Hosts, especially moms, would always want to perfect the art of serving drinks to family or guests. They make sure that no drippings would be left on the table or that the possibility of messy servings would be avoided. In doing so, drink coasters are commonly used with each glass of beverage. Their main purpose is to absorb the liquid that builds up outside the glass. Others use it as instant ashtrays too.

Drink coasters are classified into different categories:~Absorbent coasters – made of cork, paper, durable paperboards and the most popular, natural stones~Personalized coasters – the most unique kind that could have names, initial, or anything printed on them~Promotional coasters – great for advertising companies or new products~Specific beverage coasters – designs and signs are assigned to specific kind of beverage.
