Coffee through a straw? You ruined this coffee.

Last Updated: 2026/07/15, I've seen two ways to drink coffee from a takeaway paper cup. One way is to drink it directly from the opening of the paper cup lid, and the other way is to insert a straw into the opening to drink it. Maybe you think this is just a harmless different way to drink, but I have to tell you, the straw inserted into the coffee cup that moment, this cup of coffee was ruined by you! First of all, coffee is generally hot, 65-70 degrees high temperature

I have seen two ways to drink coffee from a take-out paper cup, one is to drink directly from the opening in the lid of the cup, and the other is to insert a straw from the opening.

Maybe you think it's just a harmless different way of drinking, but I'll tell you, from the moment you put the straw into the coffee cup, you ruined the cup of coffee!

First of all, coffee is generally a hot drink, 65-70 degrees hot drink, straight to your 36 degrees temperature of the mouth, I do not know if this sour is a kind of stimulation, but I know there is a word called hot! Of course, you can say I'm not afraid of hot. (If you say so...) This is not the main reason I would like to give.

There are two real reasons why you can't drink coffee through straws.

The first is that the espresso we often drink is fancy coffee, and its taste is different from top to bottom, and this sense of hierarchy is already an important experience of espresso. For example, the combination of the dense milk foam at the top of the cappuccino and the full-bodied coffee in the middle is the taste of a cappuccino, thick and light. For example, mocha, the top cream and chocolate sauce and the lower chocolate-flavored latte are imported at the same time to realize the perfect combination of coffee and chocolate flavor.

If you suck from the bottom with a straw, you can only get the lightest part of the whole cup of coffee (because of the different density of coffee and milk, coupled with the barista's action of pouring milk, the stronger part of the coffee tends to be concentrated in the middle of the coffee). So by the time you get to the best part, the aroma of the coffee has faded, and cream and chocolate sauce often lose their proper taste because of the high temperature. What you get is a flat liquid mixed with coffee, milk, cream and chocolate (it really shouldn't be called coffee anymore).

Another reason may be more acceptable to you. Drinking coffee through straws is a very rustic behavior. In the 1990s, rural teenagers used straws to drink Coca-Cola, and this is not uncommon in major restaurants today. Cans are designed to be easy to drink, just like why the lid of a coffee cup with a paper cup should have an opening on the side (if anyone doesn't already know what this opening is for, get online, because you are too out to survive in the 21st century).

I don't know if there are any stars or public figures drinking coffee with straws, so some people start to follow suit, but this kind of funny is not for everyone to hold. Drinking coffee through a straw is undoubtedly one of the most tasteless moves of our time. Please pay attention to the petty bourgeoisie, do not become a laughingstock of passers-by!
