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.
The coffee I drank was the same brew, served from the same carafe, just poured into two different cups.
The temperature loss rate difference makes sense though. Could be one aspect that affects taste perception I experienced.
