Coffee Cup Guide
For many, there really are few things better than a cup of coffee. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures and there is much to look forward to with each cup, from the fresh aroma as you pour that spreads through the kitchen, to that first sip where you can appreciate each of the individual flavours and notes, to the familiar aftertaste that lingers between sips, setting you up for the day.
But, did you know that each type of coffee was designed for a specific type of coffee cup? So much so, that it can even impact your enjoyment when drinking your favourite coffee. From material to size, we explore the types of coffee cups that are meant for each type of coffee.
