A while ago, I went to this coffee shop that serves coffee in two different cups. One is a ceramic “aroma” cup, and the other one is more similar to a wine glass.

They said that I should be able to taste the same coffee differently.

Crazily enough I thought I did taste the coffee differently. The one from the ceramic cup felt more bodied, while the one from the wine glass felt lighter and more acidic.

It makes me wonder, is that difference simply coming from the power of suggestion, or does it have a scientific basic to it?

What about you? What’s your favorite coffee cup/mug? Have you experimented with drinking the same coffee from different cups as well?

Cheers.

    Yeah, I think that temperature is very likely to play a role specifically in this aspect mentioned by OP. The glass would have dumped heat much faster, and perceived acidity normally increases as the coffee cools.
