☕After falling in love with drinking coffee, you will unconsciously become a cup addict! A good cup of coffee not only requires good beans and skillful extraction methods, but the coffee cup is also a crucial supporting role. Choosing the right cup can make a perfect cup of coffee. So what kind of cup should you choose for drinking coffee? ☕
☕【Material】
The material of the cup will affect the flavor of the coffee. Different materials have different heat preservation effects and will also bring different tactile sensations!
1. Porcelain cup: the most versatile coffee utensil. There are white porcelain, bone china, etc. The surface is smooth, the texture is light, the color is soft, and the glaze can be applied in different colors and patterns. Among them, bone china is even more light and transparent. Porcelain cups have the widest applicability. For specialty coffee, white porcelain cups are most conducive to observing the color concentration of the coffee liquid.
2. Pottery cup: Made of clay, the surface is relatively rough and the texture is strong. A favorite among coffee drinkers who pursue a sense of culture and history. The disadvantage is that coffee scale is easier to adhere to the surface of the cup, which is not conducive to cleaning. The advantage is high temperature resistance and good thermal insulation~
3. Glass: It is completely transparent and the double-layer glass has better heat preservation effect. Using it to serve espresso and fancy coffees such as latte and macchiato can well show the layering of coffee.
☕【Cup shape】
⭕Divided by cup mouth:
1. Wide-mouth cup: As the name suggests, the mouth of the cup will expand outward and be relatively open. This also allows the coffee to better access a wider range of taste buds, allowing your tongue to experience the complete flavor of the coffee, especially the acidic flavor.
2. Straight-mouth cup: That is, the mouth of the cup is perpendicular to the tabletop, and the coffee entrance is more concentrated, directly contacting the sweet zone and the middle zone, and the taste is more balanced.
⭕Divided by cup:
1. Thick cup wall: more conducive to heat preservation and more suitable for drinking fancy coffee such as latte or cappuccino.
2. Thin cup wall: It has a more delicate entrance touch and is more suitable for drinking single products. You can feel the different flavors of coffee at different temperatures from hot to cold.
☕【Capacity】
1. Small coffee cups below 100ml: mostly used for Italian espresso.
2. Coffee cups of about 200 ml: mostly used for single-origin coffee.
3. Large coffee cups above 300 ml: used to hold fancy coffee with more milk foam, such as latte coffice
