Hello @macchiata, this is a very interesting article. Like you, I prefer white. Haha, I remember this conversation @millycf1976 and why I always ask every time, which mug you'd prefer for your coffee. At home, we have mismatched mugs but I always use white ones. I feel like the coffee tastes better when the interior is white.
I hate clear mugs, worse, the glass type ones without a handle. There are some who serve their coffee inside glasses because once upon a time Nescafe's ordinary black instant coffee came in small glass containers which were re-used by many to serve as coffee glasses in Filipino homes in the 80s and I watched adults drink coffee in them.
The clear mugs somehow give off an impression that the coffee is weak and bland with mediocre quality even though they're the same coffee poured in a white mug.
The quality really does make a difference depending on the beverage recipient but I had no idea with regards to the existence of a study.
I spotted that shape of mug today but it was made of porcelain. I prefer ceramics over porcelain hence I got that mug. I also have that french press at my apartment :D now I miss them because that can work to create a foamy milk too. These days I use V60 and it's quite a chore but fun. I think soon, I'll get a vietnam dripper or the electric ones. Still need to check on budget and everything.
In Indonesia they have a place called "warung" it's a street food vendor that also serves coffee. Their coffee is served in a plain clear glass or a clear mug. It gives a cheap impression though they often use the same beans. While in coffee shop, they use the ceramics/porcelain mugs and it gives a one-of-a kind experience.
I love this french press, I got it from IKEA 😀 Been using it for 11 years now. It works well during power cuts haha. I haven't used V60 before, is it better?
Ooh warung sounds interesting to try, for the experience.
The french press I like a lot and I've actually drafted an article on it:). I think your white mug is from Ikea? My bosses in the UK used those and another white one with a black rim. I always prefer my coffee in those plain white ones.
Haha yes, they're from Ikea. I have smaller cups from there too but I only use them when I accidentally get many guests and my coffee pot quantity is too small to accommodate everyone at the same time.
That looks awesome!!😍😋
It spices things up when you have different size cups :)
Ceramic mugs have a vintage flair, but Ikea does some elegant looking porcelain mugs that I use with pleasure :)
