The Soul Of A Coffee Mug

by M. Jedediah

A coffee mug can be different things to different people. It can be large or small and made out of a variety of different materials. Coffee drinkers all around the world use different types of containers to hold their morning-- or all day long-- cups of coffee. Manufacturers use different materials to make different kinds of drinking utensils for holding scaling, steaming cups of coffee, and each has a personality of its own. Some people use the same coffee mug year after year, while others get a different one each day.

The most common material to make a coffee mug out of is porcelain, followed by stainless steel, like a giant thermos and its top 'mug' cup, or plastic or glass. Porcelain and glass are the most common for household coffee drinkers, but so are 'porta-mugs' and insulated mugs that can go wherever you go. Most insulated coffee mugs fit inside special holders in vehicles, or hang on the window with a hook that allows for easy, and quick, access.

Since many people don't think they're even human before they've had that first sip of coffee to get them going in the morning, a coffee mug takes on a special sense of importance to some people. Some people like their names engraved on 'their' coffee mug, and nobody better touch it or else. Coffee mugs come in all kinds of shapes and sizes as well, and imagination is the only limitation to design.

While porcelain holds the heat in, they can also be difficult to hold because of that heat. They're also very easy to break, and most people don't care to have hot coffee spilled all over them first thing in the morning, or any other time. Plastic coffee mugs are okay for most uses, but they don't hold the heat in very long and coffee gets cold rather fast. A stainless steel mug or thermos mug does the trick in keeping coffee hot, sometimes scaling, but then you still have the same problem hanging onto it without burning your hands.

Most coffee mug designs however, are fitted with lids nowadays, and are made of insulated plastic that not only keeps that coffee piping hot, but also allows you to hold it without getting scorched fingers. The coffee stays hot for a very long time, allowing for sipping rather than hurried gulping. This type of mug is the most common these days, as it's easy to take with you whether you're driving, walking, or hurrying to and fro.

Most mugs hold at least two regular cups of coffee, or thereabouts, and no less. Gotta make it worth your while, don't you, especially if you're transporting it to work with you. If a person can carry a super sized cola drink, why not a super sized container of hot coffee? Many insulated coffee mug designs can hold up to 24 ounces of hot coffee, offering the coffee drinker hot java all day long. Just remember: a coffee mug by any other name is still a coffee mug.

Retro Coffee Commercials:The Coffee Beans

Coffee Beans Greatly Impact Coffee Flavor

by melvin

There are many factors that go into making a perfect cup of coffee. While many people focus on choosing the perfect brewing method the perfect model of brewer, the correct roasting equipment, grinding method, even the type of water used in making the coffee, most people will go out and buy cheap or inferior coffee beans. This has been one fact that honestly never ceases to amaze me.

All of the things mentioned above really are moot points unless you are using good quality beans for your coffee drinking delight. Not only do the beans need to be good quality to ensure the best possible cup of coffee, they also need to be of adequate freshness. Coffee beans are rather delicate creatures. The beans once opened are only at their best possible freshness for at most a week. Once those beans have been ground the maximum freshness only lasts for a matter of two or three days.

Freshness is monumentally important when it comes to the flavor of your coffee. It is better to use an inferior quality of coffee in its prime than it is to use a superior coffee that has outlived its freshness. The truth about supermarket coffee is that you have no idea how fresh your coffee really is by the time it makes it to the shelves in the stores, much less to your pantry at home. This coffee is by far the most questionable as far as quality goes.

Your average supermarket can of coffee will by no means match the quality, freshness, or flavor as beans that you purchase from your local gourmet coffee shop. Not only do you have no idea of how long it's been since they've been ground, you are also left to wonder about the actual quality as many of these brands are made with robusta beans rather than prime quality Arabica coffee beans or a blend of the two.

This doesn't mean that all coffee house coffees are going to provide the maximum freshness either. For better odds, it is wise to choose varieties and blends that are popular and sell rather quickly. There never is an honest guarantee for freshness unless you're getting your beans from the field, but for the most part the odds are better in a place that deals in quality rather than quantity (unlike mass merchandise supermarkets) and that really educates themselves in the finer points of coffee. This is something a small shop that specializes in coffee is far more likely to do than some minimum wage supermarket clerk.

Another way to increase your chances of getting a fresh and tasty cup of coffee is to buy whole beans rather than pre ground coffee. There are no guarantees when shopping, however the steps mentioned above will drastically increase your chances of getting your best possible cup of coffee each and every morning whether you have gone through specialized study about coffee beans or not. You really shouldn't have to have a degree in this in order to get a great cup of coffee in the morning.

Still fun to watch

Vintage coffee commercials are still fun to watch. In the new era of TV in the 1950's companies were anxious to cash in on this new craze. The average commercial was about one minute-compared to today's about 30 seconds. I like to watch and look at the clothing styles,language used to get you to buy the product. take a look at the retro appliances, cups and saucers, compared to today's mugs.
