How to choose the coffee set correctly?

There are generally two kinds of coffee cups: pottery cups and porcelain cups. In recent years, under the concept that coffee must be drank hot, cup makers even match this exquisite, developing ceramic cups with heat preservation effect, and even better bone porcelain cups than porcelain cups. The use of this kind of bone porcelain cup containing animal ashes can make the temperature of coffee in the cup drop more slowly. However, because its price is much more expensive than the former two, so most families seldom use it. At present, there are only a few famous foreign coffee dealers in Shanghai, such as Changwu Home (zwzhome), gootin and other high-end dealers. It can only be found in more fancy cafes.

First, modeling

First observe whether the shape of each accessory is unified and coordinated. The cup should not be too large, generally about half of the capacity of the glass is appropriate, but the mouth of the cup should be larger, the bottom lines should be smooth, the appearance should be elegant and generous, and the color is pure.

Second, quality

Whether the porcelain surface is smooth and moist, and whether there are spots or pig hair-like holes in the glaze, but also carefully observe the two ends of the handle, because the handle is directly affixed to the outer wall of porcelain, it is easy to cause lack of glaze, cracks, damage or askew due to careless production; to observe whether the cup mouth is deformed, you can close the mouths of the two cups together. If there is no warping and uneven, it is the top grade. In addition, the size of the lid is not loose or tight after the lid is closed, and it is not suitable to choose if it is crooked.

Third, sound

You can spread the cup flat with your left hand and gently tap the wall with your right index finger. If you make a jingle-like sound, it is good; if your voice is hoarse or contains a murmur, it means that there may be cracks or damage in the inner wall, and care should be taken.
