Have you ever asked yourself if the color of the mug you drink your coffee with can influence the flavor you perceive?
Flavour Journal is a section of the website called BioMed Central, where they publish studies about flavours, how they are generated, their perception and its influence over behavior and nutrition.
In the article Does the colour of the mug influence the taste of the coffee? three researchers tell the results of an experiment where they served coffee with milk in three different kind of mugs, one white, one blue and one of glass. The result was that the one drank in the white mug, was the one perceived as less sweet. One of the conclusions of this experiment is that the contrast between the mug color and the color of the coffee can affect the perception of the intensity and the sweetness of the coffee itself.
If you’ve ever noticed, most of the cafes serve espresso, and the majority of the beverages prepared with espresso, in white mugs. However, coffees prepared by infusions, are normally served with transparent glasses.
Believing this study or not, a mug is an object we use daily and is a perfect gift for any occasion. I have selected here 31 mugs, so you never run out of ideas. As you will notice, many of the mugs have a positive message. This goes in line with one of my New Year’s Resolutions, surrounding me with positives affirmations and attitudes. These mugs that I have chosen for you make me feel good or smile when I see them.
If you don’t speak Spanish, the title is the translation of the message.
Mugs with positive and motivational messages, that will help you start the day with energy.
