Get in Touch with Counter and Spoon
We love hearing from readers who are navigating their own kitchen journeys. Whether you're in the middle of a remodel, trying to decide between two dishwashers, or just want to share your own Tuesday night dinner disaster story, we're here for it.
How to Reach Us
The best way to contact the Counter and Spoon team is by email at [email protected]. We read every message that comes through, though we're a small operation and it may take us a few days to respond during busy periods.
What We'd Love to Hear About
Here are the types of inquiries we especially welcome:
Product questions: Wondering if we've tested a specific appliance or material? Ask away. If we haven't covered it yet, your question might inspire our next deep dive.
Remodel advice: Stuck on a layout decision or material choice? While we can't offer personalized design services, we're happy to point you toward relevant articles or share quick insights based on our experience.
Real-life feedback: Did you try one of our recommendations? We want to know how it worked out in your actual kitchen, not just in theory.
Collaboration inquiries: If you're a brand that makes products we'd genuinely use (and that align with the Counter and Spoon philosophy of function over flash), let's talk.
Story ideas: Have a kitchen challenge we haven't addressed? A product category that needs honest testing? We're always looking for topics that matter to real families.
What We Can't Help With
To set expectations clearly, there are a few things we're not equipped to handle:
Emergency repair advice (please contact a licensed professional)
Detailed architectural or structural questions (consult a qualified contractor or engineer)
Requests for free design services or full kitchen plans
Product sales or customer service issues (reach out directly to the manufacturer)
Response Time
We typically respond to emails within 3-5 business days. During product testing seasons or when we're deep in a remodel series, it might take up to a week. If your question is time-sensitive, please mention that in your subject line and we'll do our best to prioritize it.
Press and Media Inquiries
For press inquiries, interview requests, or media partnerships, please use the same email address ([email protected]) and include "MEDIA" in your subject line. We're happy to discuss features, provide expert commentary on kitchen trends, or collaborate on content that serves real families trying to create functional spaces.
A Note from Our Founder
Counter and Spoon exists because I got tired of the gap between what the design world celebrates and what actually works when you're living in a space every single day. Your questions, stories, and real-world experiences make this site better. Every email that starts with "I know this sounds silly, but..." usually leads to the most valuable conversations, because those are the questions everyone has but nobody's asking.
So don't hesitate. Whether you're wondering if that trendy countertop material will survive your household, need a reality check on an expensive appliance, or just want to commiserate about the chaos of cooking with kids underfoot, we're here. This is a judgment-free zone where function beats Instagram-worthiness every time.
Stay Connected
While email is our primary contact method, you can also stay updated on new articles, product tests, and kitchen wisdom by bookmarking counterandspoon.com and checking back regularly. We publish new content weekly, covering everything from appliance reviews to layout strategies to the honest truth about what holds up in a busy family kitchen.
We look forward to hearing from you and being part of your kitchen journey—the real one, not the catalog version.
