How do I choose coffee and coffee cups?

1.Bone china cups for drinking coffee, bone china cups have a light texture, soft color, and high heat retention, which can best maintain the warm memory of coffee.

The use of bone china cups containing animal bone meal has a light texture, strong light transmittance, soft color, high density, and good heat retention, which can make the coffee lower the temperature more slowly.

2.Because the bone china cup is much more expensive than the ceramic cup, it is rarely used in the general family.

It can only be seen in the more sophisticated coffee shops, and when chosen, the bone china yellows under the light and has a crisp metallic sound when struck.

Drinking coffee, like drinking water, is a matter of course. But for a good cup of coffee, in addition to careful roasting and delicate handling skills, coffee cups also play an extremely important role. Let me give you an in-depth look at coffee cups.

Most people often can't tell the difference between a coffee cup and a black tea cup correctly. Usually, in order to make the fragrance of black tea diffuse and facilitate the appreciation of the color of black tea, the bottom of the cup is shallow, the mouth is wider, and the light transmittance is higher, while the coffee cup has a narrower mouth, thicker material, and low light transmittance.

In recent years, under the concept that coffee must be drunk hot, the cup industry has even developed a pottery cup with a thermal insulation effect, and even a bone china cup that is better than a porcelain cup, using a bone china cup with this texture containing animal ashes, which can make the coffee temperature in the cup lower slowly. However, because it is much more expensive than the previous two, it is rarely used by ordinary families, and can only be seen in more elaborate cafes.

Traditional coffee cups can be divided into 3 types.

The first is a small coffee cup with a capacity of less than 100 ml, and the coffee capacity is between 50-70 ml; The second is a general coffee cup with a capacity of less than 200 ml, and the coffee capacity is between 150-180 ml; The third type is a mug without a chassis and a cup of about 300 ml used in French milk coffee cups. Of course, in order to brew some beautiful and beautiful fancy coffee, various glass goblets and beer mugs are also used. However, it is not counted in the purebred coffee cup.

The color of the coffee liquid is amber and clear. Therefore, in order to bring out the characteristics of coffee, it is best to use a coffee cup with a white inside. Some practices that ignore this problem in production, apply various colors on the inside of the coffee cup, and even depict complex fine patterns, often make it difficult for us to distinguish the finished coffee brewing by the color of the coffee.

1. How to choose a coffee cup.

1. The color of the inside.

If you choose a ceramic coffee cup or a cup with color on the inside, it is difficult to distinguish the color during extraction, and the judgment of the shade is easy to be distorted. If you want to enjoy the amber color of coffee while drinking, it is recommended to choose a coffee cup with a white inside.

2. The width of the cup.

The structure of the human tongue is sweet on the tip of the tongue, and the sour and bitter tastes on the sides and at the base of the tongue, respectively. The open cup fills the mouth with coffee, which is especially suitable for coffee with a pronounced acidity. On the other hand, the elongated coffee cup will make the coffee rush straight down the throat, making it easy to feel bitter when drinking.

3. The thickness of the rim of the cup.

The thinner the rim of the coffee cup, the less it will interfere with the feeling of the coffee mouth. Some people say that a thicker coffee cup will make people notice the texture of the cup in their hands, and it is not suitable for tasting coffee, but there are also many people who actually prefer coffee cups with a feel.

An essential part of making coffee is warming the cup. Generally, household semi-automatic espresso machines have a platform for holding coffee cups on the top, which can heat the cup. Once freshly brewed coffee is poured into a cold cup, the flavor is greatly reduced.

Therefore, the thermal conductivity and heat preservation of the coffee rolling cup are also very important to the coffee tasting experience. In the production process of the big bone china cup, an appropriate amount of animal bones is added to the raw materials, which can slow down the temperature of the coffee, the ratio is about 25% bone meal and 75% high-grade porcelain clay. Features:

Light texture (weight), strong light transmittance, soft color, high density (fragile, easy to clean), high temperature resistance (good heat preservation).

The cappuccino, on the other hand, with milk foam, has a slightly larger capacity than an espresso, and the wide mouth allows you to show off the rich and beautiful foam.
