What kind of cup is the best for hanging-ear coffee? Coffee cup vs mug competition

The coffee cup is made of anion powder, tourmaline, high quality clay and other basic materials.

The high concentration of negative ions emitted from high coffee cups can electrolyze water, produce negatively charged hydrogen and oxygen ions, reduce the macromolecular groups in water, and enhance the solubility and permeability of water.

Therefore, the drinking water contained in the coffee cup has stronger solubility to the beverage, and the beverage effect is better.

Pouring water into the coffee cup can improve the activity of water, regulate human endocrine, adjust the balance of yin and yang, promote metabolism, improve human microcirculation, and have a good medical and health care effect on the relief of many diseases.

Coffee cup material

There are many kinds of coffee cups, such as porcelain, pottery, stainless steel, bone porcelain and so on.

Porcelain and pottery are glazed and fired, the texture of pottery is relatively rough and slightly absorbent, if the glaze color falls, that part is easy to be contaminated and can not be washed off; the texture of porcelain is fine and does not absorb water, of course, the price will be much higher; the bone porcelain cup has good thermal insulation, which can keep the coffee at a temperature in the cup, but the price is very high. The double-layer stainless steel cup has ultra-high thermal insulation, durability will not be worn, and its price is slightly better than that of bone porcelain coffee, but it lacks aesthetics.

The simplicity of pottery cups and the roundness of porcelain cups mark different attitudes towards coffee.

Pottery cup: rich in texture, suitable for deep-baked coffee with rich taste.

Porcelain cup: the most common, can just explain the delicate aroma of coffee. Among them, the bone porcelain coffee cup made of high-grade porcelain clay and mixed animal bone powder has the advantages of light texture, soft color, high density and good heat preservation, which can lower the temperature of coffee more slowly in the cup, so it is an excellent choice to show coffee flavor.

Under the concept that coffee must be drank hot, cup makers even match this fastidiousness to develop ceramic cups with thermal insulation effect, or even better bone porcelain cups than porcelain cups, using bone porcelain cups with animal ashes in the texture to make the coffee temperature drop slower in the cup.

However, because its price is much more expensive than the former two, it is rarely used by ordinary families and can only be found in more exquisite cafes.

The sizes of coffee cups are generally divided into three types:

Small coffee cup (60ml--80ml)-suitable for tasting pure high-quality coffee, or strong individual coffee, although it can be drunk almost in one mouthful, but the lingering mellow aftertaste, the most exquisite flavor of coffee.

Regular coffee cup (120ml--140ml)-the common coffee cup, usually choose this kind of cup when drinking coffee, have enough space, can mix by yourself, add milk powder and sugar.

Mug or French Ole Milk Coffee mug (300ml or above)-suitable for coffee with a lot of milk, such as American mocha mug, is enough to contain its sweet and diverse taste. The romantic French, on the other hand, are used to using a large bowl of milk coffee (Ole coffee) to render a mood of joy that lasts for a whole morning.

The difference between coffee cups

The difference between black teacup and black teacup

Although the black tea cup and the coffee cup are easy to be confused, the difference between the black tea cup and the coffee cup can be judged by its shape and size.

Black teacup: in order to spread the aroma of black tea, and to facilitate the appreciation of the color of black tea, black tea cup generally has a shallow bottom, wide mouth and high light transmittance.

Coffee cup: it is necessary to keep the coffee at a certain temperature in the cup, so compared with the black tea cup, the coffee cup has a narrower mouth, thicker material and lower light transmittance.

Instructions for the use of coffee cups

Basic requirements

Drinking coffee is like drinking water, it is a matter of course. But for a good cup of coffee, in addition to meticulous baking and exquisite operating skills, coffee cups also play an extremely important role.

Basically, coffee cups should never react with coffee, so active metals should never be used as coffee cups (of course, if you want to pursue alternative flavors), such as aluminum cups.

The body of the coffee cup should be thick, the mouth of the cup is not wide, and the cup condenses the heat of the coffee, which is not easy to cool down quickly, so as not to affect the taste and taste of the coffee.

Place with warm cup

There are two ways to place it. The handle of the cup is American on the right and British on the left.

Warm cup: the use of bone china coffee cup can be used to warm the cup to completely seal all the flavor of the coffee. The easiest way is to pour it directly into the hot water, or put it in the dishdryer to warm it up in advance. Although it is only a simple step, it is an indispensable key to preserving the aroma of coffee. Because, just out of the boiling coffee, once poured into the cold cup, the temperature suddenly dropped, the flavor will be greatly reduced.

Cleaning:

As for the cleaning of coffee cups, due to the excellent quality of coffee cups, the cup noodles are compact, the pores are small, and it is not easy.

Attached to coffee dirt, so after drinking coffee, as long as immediately rinse with water, you can keep the cup clean. Coffee cups that have been used for a long time, or can not be washed immediately after use, so that coffee dirt is attached to the cup surface. At this time, the cup can be soaked in lemon juice to remove coffee dirt.

If the coffee scale can not be completely removed at this time, you can use a neutral dishwashing agent, stick on the sponge, gently wipe and clean, and finally rinse with clean water. In the coffee cup cleaning process, it is strictly forbidden to use hard brushes, but also to avoid the use of strong acid, strong alkali detergent, in order to avoid scratching damage to the surface of the coffee cup.

Selection and purchase of coffee cups

Choose and buy according to the drinking method

When buying coffee cups, you can choose the right coffee cups on different occasions according to your personal preferences, the type of coffee and the way you drink it. Due to the variety of personal preferences and places, there are several bases for choosing the type and drinking method of coffee.

Small coffee cups of less than 100 milliliters-mostly used to hold strong Italian coffee or individual coffee, such as espresso, which is only about 50 milliliters. Although it is almost drunk in one drink, the coffee has an aftertaste. The lingering mellow aftertaste and the temperature that seems to be warm forever can most warm your heart. The cappuccino with milk foam has a slightly larger capacity than the Italian coffee cup. The wide mouth of the cup can show the beautiful foam.

About 200 milliliters of ordinary coffee cups-the first common coffee cups, light American coffee mostly choose this kind of cup, there is enough space, can be prepared, simple and free, just like the United States.

Mugs with more than 300 milliliters and special milk coffee cups for French coffee (a kind of French coffee, the best health product for women over 30)-coffee with a lot of milk, such as lattes and American mochas, this kind of multi-purpose mug is enough to contain his sweet and diverse taste.

On the other hand, the romantic French are used to using a large bowl of milk coffee to play up the joy of the whole morning.

In addition, in addition to the appearance of the cup, it is also necessary to verify the texture, weight and convenience of the cup.

The weight should be lighter, the texture of such cups is fine, and the fine texture represents the fine particles of the raw materials for making coffee cups, so the cup noodles are compact and the space is small, so it is not easy to attach coffee stains to the cup.

The pleasure of tasting coffee not only depends on the coffee itself, but also depends on the overall beauty, a fine texture, exquisite carved coffee cup and plate, a small and delicate golden spoon on the side, with a fragrant and delicious cappuccino.

If there is another piece of sweet French cake, I will spend the afternoon in my garden (if the sun is willing to enjoy it)!

Choose and buy according to your taste

Highlight your interest in buying coffee cups.

Drinking coffee is a kind of enjoyment of life, unlike drinking Sprite Coke, if you drink it, all the emotions will be washed away.

Just like drinking tea, coffee needs to be served (instant coffee has no good taste, but I bet you don't want to drink it all at once, but espresso is an exception).

In that case, in addition to the coffee itself, the choice of the cup is also important (after all, you have to watch it finish the coffee).

For coffee cups, some people like to use rich clay cups to hold masculine roasted coffee (such as at work). However, people still like to use porcelain cups to interpret the meticulous and mellow coffee.

Among them, the bone porcelain made from high-quality porcelain clay mixed with high-quality animal bone powder has a light texture, soft color and ultra-high thermal insulation, which can best maintain the warm memory of coffee in the cup.

This kind of bone porcelain cup containing 25% animal bone powder is indeed beautiful and used, but it is also expensive. It is rarely used by ordinary families, and it is only popular in high-class society such as high-end coffee shops or aristocratic gentlemen. If necessary, find a bone porcelain cup in the store, illuminate in the light, there will be a light yellow, gently tapping will have a light metal sound.

The choice depends on the color.

The color of the coffee should be clear amber. So in order to show this characteristic of coffee, it is best to use a white coffee cup. Some manufacturers ignore this problem and paint the cup with a variety of colors and even fine patterns. Obviously this is to show off their superb craftsmanship, but it is completely unnecessary, so that I can not correctly distinguish the quality of coffee.
