For coffee mugs, some people like to use a heavy-textured earthenware mug for a masculine, strong, dark-roasted coffee. However, most people still use ceramic cups to interpret the delicate aroma of coffee.
Most people who are new to coffee often confuse coffee cups and black tea cups when choosing a cup. Usually, in order to spread the aroma of black tea and facilitate the appreciation of the color of black tea, the bottom of the cup is shallow, the mouth of the cup is wider, and the light transmittance is higher. The coffee cup has a narrow mouth, thick material, and low light transmittance.
There are generally two types of coffee cups: ceramic cups and porcelain cups. The prevailing notion that coffee must be drunk hot. To match this concept, cup makers have developed ceramic cups with thermal insulation and bone china cups that are better than porcelain cups. Using this kind of bone china cup containing 25% animal bone meal, it is light in texture, strong in light transmission, soft in color, high in density and good in heat preservation, which can make the coffee in the cup lower the temperature more slowly. However, since the price of bone china cups is much more expensive than that of earthenware cups and porcelain cups, it is rarely used by ordinary families, and can only be seen in more sophisticated coffee shops.
In addition, the color of the coffee cup is also very important. .
The color of coffee is clear amber, so in order to express this characteristic of coffee, it is best to use a coffee cup with a white inside. Some manufacturers ignore this problem and paint the inside of the cup with various colors and even detailed patterns. This may improve the viewing of the cup when it is placed, but it is often difficult to distinguish the completion of the coffee brewing and the quality of the coffee by the color of the coffee.
When purchasing coffee cups, you can choose according to the type and drinking method of coffee, as well as personal preferences and drinking occasions. Since personal preferences and drinking occasions depend on everyone's own situation, here I only provide a few selection basis for the types and drinking methods of coffee.
Generally speaking, ceramic cups are suitable for deep roasting and rich coffee, while porcelain cups are suitable for lighter coffee. In addition, drinking Espresso generally use a special coffee cup below 100CC. When drinking latte with a higher proportion of milk, lady coffee, etc., mugs without cup holders are often used. In addition to the appearance of the cup, it also depends on whether it is easy to hold and whether the weight is appropriate. In terms of weight, it is better to take a lighter cup. Such a cup has a fine texture, which means that the raw material particles for making the coffee cup are fine, so the cup surface is tight and the gap is small, and it is not easy for the coffee scale to adhere to the cup surface.
As for the cleaning of coffee cups. Generally, it is enough to rinse with water immediately after drinking coffee. The coffee scale on the surface of the coffee cup that has been used for a long time and has not been rinsed in time can be removed by soaking in lemon juice. If you can't clean it thoroughly, you can also clean it with a neutral dishwashing liquid on a sponge. But be sure not to use hard brushes. Do not use strong acid and alkali cleaning liquid, so as not to scratch the coffee cup.
