Coffee cups generally include ceramic cups, glass cups, and plastic cups. Different materials have a certain impact on both the taste and the coffee itself.

1. Porcelain cup: the most common coffee utensil, which is relatively common. Porcelain cups are the most widely applicable. For boutique coffee, white porcelain cups are most conducive to observing the color concentration of coffee liquid.

2. Ceramic cup: made of clay, the surface is relatively rough, and it looks simple and Zen. It is the favorite of coffee players who pursue culture and history.

3. Glass cup: transparent throughout, double-layer glass cups have better heat preservation effect. Fancy coffees such as macchiato can well show the layering of coffee.

4. Plastic cup: The temperature of coffee is usually high. When drinking coffee with plastic or paper cups, the smell of the cup is very likely to destroy the original taste of the coffee and affect the taste of the coffee.

By cup wall

Thick cup wall: more conducive to heat preservation, more suitable for drinking fancy coffees such as latte.

Thin cup wall: has a more delicate entrance touch, more suitable for drinking single origin, and can feel the different delicate flavors of coffee at different temperatures from hot to cold.

By capacity

Small coffee cups below 100 ml: mostly used for Italian espresso, such as Espresso.

Coffee cups around 200 ml: mostly used for single origin coffee.

Large coffee cups above 300 ml: used to hold fancy coffee with more milk foam, such as latte.

By cup opening

There are two types of coffee cups: wide-mouthed cups and straight-mouthed cups. For two coffee cups made of the same material but with different shapes, the coffee flavor you experience is also different. The shape of the cup mouth affects the first point of contact between the coffee and your taste buds when you take a sip, which determines which flavor of the coffee comes into close contact with you first.
