Stylish Sugar Dispensers for Easier Sweetening

From simple spouts to sophisticated spoon designs, sugar dispensers are a staple in some households, offering an easy way to sweeten just about anything without a huge hassle or mess. We’ve rounded up our favorite sugar dispensers to make your life a little sweeter.

Dating back to 1818, their designs have been improved upon multiple times as the years have gone by to easily help you sweeten your daily baked goods, coffee, and tea. With various designs available, you should be able to find one that fits your needs and your kitchen perfectly.

Purchasing Sugar Dispensers

They all might be for the same purpose, but not all sugar dispensers are created equal. Consider these few key points before adding one to your home:

• Style: There are countless styles of sugar dispensers, from New York-style ones to bowls with spoons to simple shakers. Choose a style that you love and that will complement the space you put it in.
• Function: Think about what you’re dispensing your sugar for. If it’s for dusting powdered sugar on that french toast, opt for a shaker that will give you a beautiful and gentle sprinkling. For tea or coffee, choose one that makes dishing out a little more easy.
• Size: If you’re more into minimalistic or space-saving designs, opt for a smaller dispenser. If you LOVE sugar (or know someone who does) and don’t want to constantly be refilling it, then choose a larger design.
