Tips from the Designer: What Coffee Utensils Happen
To enjoy a drink, it must be properly prepared and served beautifully. Therefore, it is important to adhere to etiquette, including choosing cups of a certain weight, volume and material.
Each drink has its own cup
To serve coffee, baristas use different dishes: ceramic, porcelain and glass. Each type of drink has a specific cup.
For example, espresso is served in a 1.5-3 ounce porcelain or demitasse mug. Its walls are thick and the edges are rounded.
The cappuccino cup has a slight flare at the top and thick edges. It must be warmed up so as not to disturb the temperature of the drink when pouring coffee and milk. The classic volume is 6 ounces, for large portions - 10 ounces.
For an Americano, a 5 to 6 oz. thick-walled pottery will do.
Lattes or mochas are served in 7.4-12 oz. cups. Buying double-walled glasses in Minsk is also a good solution for serving drinks. They keep warm and look stylish.
For alternative brewing methods, special accessories are used. For example, a Hario funnel (ceramic or plastic) in the form of a circular cone.
It has an angle of 60⁰, which allows you to conveniently position and brew the ground grain. Inside, the container has spiral ribs. They help distribute the coffee evenly and allow excess air to escape during brewing.
In its structure, the resulting drink resembles tea. Coffee is served in a small ceramic or porcelain dish.
The weight of the dishes also matters. During the experiment, coffee in a heavier cup seemed to the subjects of better quality, richer and more expensive.
