The Best Coffee Comes in White Mugs, according to study

Not loving the taste of your coffee? Have you considered changing the color of your coffee mug? According to recent research, it may make all the difference between ordinary and the best coffee ever.

Ask anyone who drinks coffee or tea with me and they’ll tell you that I’ll do my best to make sure I drink my beverage in a contrasting colored coffee mug. If the only option is a dark mug, I might skip the experience altogether. I’ve always contested that coffee doesn’t taste good in dark mugs. It always tastes cold and sweet to me even if it’s steaming hot. For the longest time I thought this was just some strange OCD behavior of mine, but I might not be as crazy as I think (but probably). Turns out I’m just a science statistic.

The study validates my preference: coffee tastes more like coffee in a white (or light) colored mug.

“The researchers served 18 participants the same cup of coffee, in one of the three similarly shaped but differently colored vessels, and then asked them to rate their sweetness, aroma, bitterness, quality, and acceptability,” reports the Washington Post.
