Coffee cups on the market generally have ceramic cups, glasses, plastic cups. Different materials, both on the taste and itself have a certain impact.

Here are the advantages and disadvantages of the five main materials。

Porcelain cup: The most widely used coffee cup, white porcelain cup can better observe the color concentration of coffee, divided into white porcelain, bone China, etc. Among them, bone China has better insulation effect than ordinary ceramics, which can make the temperature drop more slowly when the coffee is in the cup, and ensure the taste to a greater extent.

Pottery cup: made of clay, the surface is rough, the texture is strong, the disadvantage is that the rough surface is not conducive to cleaning.

Glass: ordinary glasses have the risk of cracking when they are cold and hot, and double-layer glasses are generally used, and the transparent cup walls can better show the level of fancy coffee. Heat resistance is not very good, so it is more used to hold iced coffee.

Plastic cups: When ordinary plastic cups are filled with hot coffee, not only will the smell of the cup after heating destroy the original taste of the coffee, affecting the taste, but also may dilute the toxic chemicals contained in the cup into the water, which is not recommended.

5 Metal cups: metal cups, usually have a good texture, but metal is a good conductor of heat, Heat dissipation too fast,Not conducive to the gradual spread of coffee aroma. And metal elements may dissolve in an acidic environment, and it is not safe to use acidic drinks.

Judging from the above five materials, the restaurant owners still choose Porcelain cup is the most appropriate!

Once we've determined the material, we must start to choose the style, there are two main aspects, the first is the opening of the coffee cup.

Straight cup:

The wall of the cup and the table top are vertical, the coffee entrance is more concentrated, the taste buds directly contact the sweet area and the middle area, and the taste is more balanced.

Wide mouth cup: The cup mouth is relatively large, will expand outward, which also makes the coffee can better contact the broader taste buds, so that your tongue can feel the complete flavor of coffee, especially the acidic flavor experience.

At the same time, the thickness of the coffee cup is also an important reason for affecting the taste of coffee.

Thick wall cup: good for heat preservation, suitable for latte and other fancy coffee.

Thin-walled cup: has a more delicate population touch, can feel the different flavors of coffee from hot to cold process.
