3. Glaze for coffee mugs

There are three ways to divide the colour glaze: one is classified according to the firing temperature, divided into high temperature colour glaze (about 1300 degrees), medium temperature colour glaze (about 1200 degrees) and low temperature colour glaze (about 1000 degrees). If 1250 degrees as the boundary, divided into high, low two; Second, according to the nature of the flame after firing is divided into oxidation flame colour glaze, reduction flame colour glaze two; Third, according to the characteristics of the appearance of the firing classification, can be divided into single-colour glaze, double-colour glaze (flower glaze), crackled glaze, no light glaze, crystal glaze and so on.

4. Coffee mug pattern

Some ceramic coffee mugs are not suitable for microwave oven, one of the factors is: pattern paper. Flower paper according to the baking temperature is divided into: high temperature flower paper and low temperature flower paper. Low-temperature paper can not be used in the microwave because of the low operating temperature. So, can ceramic coffee mugs with low-temperature paper still be used in the dishwasher? No, it is not. Why can't low-temperature paper coffee mugs be used in either microwave or dishwasher?
High-temperature paper because of the high firing temperature, in the firing process, the glaze will completely vitrify the paper, in the outer wall of the ceramic coffee mug to generate a protective film. Therefore, high-temperature floral paper coffee mugs are dishwasher safe. Low-temperature paper is not dishwasher safe because of the process. If you use a dishwasher to clean a low-temperature paper coffee mug, the image will most likely be scratched, and the body of the mug will be prone to scratches.

5. Shape of coffee mugs

It was found that coffee was tasted in different shaped mugs and then evaluated in many aspects such as the aroma, bitterness, concentration and taste of the coffee. The results of the experiment show that most people think that the coffee in taller mugs tastes sweeter, and the coffee in ‘skinny’ mugs is more bitter than ‘fat’ mugs. Coffee mugs are also categorised into wide-mouth and non-wide-mouth (straight and close-mouth) cups. Wide-mouth mugs help the aroma of the coffee to spread so that people can smell the coffee more fully. The non-wide-mouth mugs allow the coffee to be more concentrated in the mouth and have a more balanced flavour. This shape of mug allows the taste buds on the tongue to fully experience the flavour of the coffee.

6. Colour of coffee mugs

The study found that compared to clear glass cups, coffee in white cups is darker in colour, which in turn is perceived as more concentrated and more bitter, while coffee in blue cups is perceived as lighter in colour due to the blue contrast, which in turn is perceived as less concentrated and less bitter.
