Material of coffee cup

There are many kinds of materials for coffee cups, such as pottery, stainless steel, Bone China and so on. Porcelain and pottery are both glazed and fired. The texture of pottery is rough and slightly absorbent. If the glaze falls, that part is easy to be polluted and cannot be washed off; Porcelain is fine in texture and does not absorb water. Of course, the price will be much higher; Bone china cup has good thermal insulation, which can keep the temperature of coffee in the cup, but the price is very high; The double-layer stainless steel cup has super high thermal insulation, is durable and will not be worn, and its price is slightly better than bone china coffee, but it lacks aesthetics;

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

Pottery cup: thick texture, suitable for deep roasted coffee with rich taste.

Porcelain cup: the most common, which can just interpret the delicate fragrance of coffee. Among them, bone china coffee cups made of high-grade porcelain clay and mixed with animal bone powder are light in texture, soft in color, high in density and good in heat preservation, which can make coffee lower the temperature in the cup more slowly, and are the best choice to show the flavor of coffee.

Under the concept that coffee must be drunk hot, cup makers even pay attention to this kind of stress, and develop ceramic cups with heat preservation effect, and even bone china cups better than porcelain cups. Using bone china cups with animal ashes in this texture can slow down the temperature of coffee in the cup. However, because its price is much more expensive than the previous two, it is rarely used by ordinary families and can only be seen in more exquisite cafes.
