These are some excellent coasters from Enkore. They are made from functional silicone, which is a very durable material. They are designed with little nubs on top to hold both the coaster and your drink in place, so your drink doesn’t slip off the coaster. These coasters have deep grooves in-between the nubs to catch all the extra liquid, so it doesn’t drip off onto your furniture. They really do hold a lot of liquid; you can count on them for that. These coasters are larger than your average coaster, with a 4.3 inch diameter, so they can cold bigger cups and bottles. They are also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

Pros

Durable
Deep grooves to catch liquid
Dishwasher safe

Cons

The liquid pools in the coaster, so you may have to pour it out
