RicheMake Silicone Coffee Mat and Dish Drying Mat Set, Gray (16"x24") - Large Countertop Protector under Coffee Maker & Blender, Heat Resistant Pad

These two mats arrived rolled together and nicely packaged in one box - actually suitable for gifting, with a brief back story on the company founder. The silicone mat has a very effective raised border preventing liquids from going beyond its edges and remains snug on the counter. The other drying mat has a beautiful surface resembling leather with a diatomite under-layer (for absorption) and a rubberized fabric under that for preventing sliding. All of those features make it perform very well in my experience so far. The larger silicone mat works very well underneath two of my coffee/espresso machines that have tendency or likelihood of spills and drips, and the drying mat provides a great surface for preparing beverages. The only drawback is that there were no cleaning instructions or recommendations with the mats, which apparently is important for the drying mat because it has diatomite. I emailed the seller but haven't heard back yet, however there are basic care instructions for mats made with or containing diatomite online which include never soaking them and drying them vertically on end. The sale price of less than $20 for both mats is a good value.
