How to understand that the smaller the size of the coffee cup means the stronger the coffee?

Three sizes

Coffee cups are roughly divided into three sizes. Generally, the smaller the size, the stronger the coffee inside.

1. The smallest (50ml~80ml) is commonly known as the espresso cup, which is suitable for tasting pure quality coffee or strong individual coffee.

two。 The medium (120ml~140ml) cup is the most commonly used and is characterized by leaving room for self-blending, such as adding milk and sugar, sometimes called the Cappuccino cup.

3. The largest coffee cups (above 300ml) are generally used to add a lot of milk or foam, so they are also called Latte cups.

Commonly used Italian cup name

In the fast coffee chain, it may be easy to understand the meaning of short cup, tall cup and grand cup, but what about the names venti, trenta, alto and so on? These words come from Italian and often refer to oz specifications. Venti means "20" in Italian, trenta means "30", and alto means "big".

Coffee cup VS black tea cup

When buying cups, many people are often unable to correctly distinguish between coffee cups and black teacups. Usually, in order to spread the aroma of black tea and appreciate the color of black tea, the bottom of the cup is lighter, the mouth is wider, and the light transmittance is higher, while the coffee cup has a narrower mouth, thicker material and low light transmittance. Coffee cups are generally ceramic cups and porcelain cups. Ceramic cups are suitable for coffee with deep baking and strong taste, while porcelain cups are suitable for coffee with a lighter taste.

Collectible cup

Many coffee fans like to collect all kinds of coffee cups, so some powerful coffee brands continue to launch specially designed cups for fans to collect. For example, illy will work with different designers to launch specially designed cups every year. Hong Kong star Chen Hao is a fan of illy coffee cups and will buy and collect them as soon as he sees them when he travels. Jackie Chan is also a fan of world-class famous porcelain coffee cups and saucers, with a collection of more than 600 sets.
