A while ago, I went to this coffee shop that serves coffee in two different cups. One is a ceramic “aroma” cup, and the other one is more similar to a wine glass.

They said that I should be able to taste the same coffee differently.

Crazily enough I thought I did taste the coffee differently. The one from the ceramic cup felt more bodied, while the one from the wine glass felt lighter and more acidic.

It makes me wonder, is that difference simply coming from the power of suggestion, or does it have a scientific basic to it?

What about you? What’s your favorite coffee cup/mug? Have you experimented with drinking the same coffee from different cups as well?

Cheers.

    Now that I’m looking for coffee cups, I can find quite a few of them. Quite expensive too!

    Origami cups, fellow Stagg, orea, hario, etc.

    I finally bought the ikea dyrgrip glass. I don’t think I’m ready to spend that much for coffee cups just yet 😅
