The coffee cup you choose says a lot about your upbringing and age

“Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin” is true. If you only care about the flavor of coffee, you don’t have to drink coffee in a coffee cup. A soup bowl with oil floating on it will also work, as long as you are not picky.

But in this era where appearance is everything, it is best to have both appearance and connotation. Coffee is a good product for refreshing the mind, and it is also a lifestyle that many people pursue and enjoy.

It is important that the coffee tastes good, and it is also very important that the coffee cup looks good.

Standard coffee cups come as a set, including a cup, saucer and spoon.

American coffee can be served with milk and sugar on the saucer, making it easy to adjust according to personal taste. Some cafes also use cups and saucers to place biscuits.

Ordinary glass cups have the risk of bursting when exposed to heat and cold, so coffee cups usually need to be made of materials with higher temperature tolerance, such as ceramics. Bone china has a better heat preservation effect than ordinary ceramics, which can make the temperature of coffee drop more slowly in the cup, thus ensuring the taste to a greater extent.

Ceramic cups and porcelain cups, it seems that you are just choosing a cup for drinking coffee, but in fact, they also hide your attitude towards coffee and life.

Function of coffee cup

Pottery cup

The ceramic cup has a thick texture, and its advantage lies in the texture. The warm and thick feel of the clay gives people a warm and relaxing mood, and is suitable for deeply roasted and rich-tasting coffee.

Porcelain cup

Porcelain cups are the most common and can perfectly interpret the delicate aroma of coffee. A good porcelain cup is light in texture, soft in color, high in density, and good in heat preservation. It can make the coffee cool down more slowly in the cup, and is the best choice to show the flavor of coffee.

Coffee cup placement etiquette

Drinking coffee also involves a warming step. The easiest way to seal the flavor of the coffee in a bone china coffee cup is to pour hot water directly into it. Because once the boiling coffee just out of the oven is poured into a cold cup, the aroma of the coffee will be reduced and affected.

There are some small details about the placement of coffee cups. There are two types of coffee cup placement: American style and British style.

An American coffee cup is placed with the handle on the right, while an English coffee cup is placed opposite.

Also, the placement of coffee cups and coffee spoons should not be random or messy.

Basically, the handle of the coffee cup is facing left, and the coffee spoon is placed on the right side of the saucer. Some sugar cubes are placed in special sugar cube containers, but sometimes there is only a sugar bag, which is also on the saucer under the coffee cup.

Some people like to drink coffee with a coffee spoon, but this is actually a very serious mistake. Coffee spoons are not used to drink coffee.

Coffee drinking etiquette

According to the etiquette of drinking coffee, the function of a coffee spoon is to gently stir the milk or cream after adding it so that the milk or cream and coffee blend together.

After adding sugar, stir gently with a coffee spoon to make the sugar dissolve quickly; if the coffee is too hot, you can also stir it slightly with a coffee spoon.

After stirring, the coffee spoon should be taken out of the coffee cup. It should not be placed upright in the coffee cup, and it should not be used to scoop coffee to drink. It should be placed on the curved edge of the coffee saucer. This is etiquette that must be paid attention to, otherwise it is very unsightly and impolite.

When drinking coffee, you can hold the handle of the coffee cup with your right hand, gently support the coffee saucer with your left hand, and slowly move it to your mouth to sip it. It is not advisable to hold the cup with your full hand and swallow it in big gulps, nor is it advisable to bend over the coffee cup.

But sometimes people will feel that you are very childish. Maybe the sentence you hate to hear the most is, you are already so old. In your own eyes, you are like a child who has not grown up. Many times you are very willful. It is precisely because your mental age is very young that you can be willful with peace of mind.

Being with you will make people around you feel excited, because you never lack enthusiasm. It will also make people feel the beauty of life, just like a 23-year-old teenager, who is full of vitality.

You are always able to be the leader of the crowd, and it is also very easy for you to stir up the atmosphere and make the whole atmosphere very active.

But there is basically nothing that can inspire your passion, and everything you do seems to be just for the sake of living.
