The Overlooked Thing in Your drink Experience

When it comes to coffee, there are all sorts of different ways to enjoy it. One thing that's often overlooked is the role that cup choice plays in the coffee drinking experience.

Similar to choosing the right wine glass, using the right glassware when drinking coffee can make a difference in how much you enjoy your beverage. Different cups can affect the taste of your coffee, the temperature at which you drink it, and even the aromas that you experience.

If you're looking for a truly unique coffee drinking experience, Icosa Brewhouse’s Avensi glassware is definitely worth checking out. These beautiful handcrafted glasses are designed specifically for enjoying coffees for their unique profiles, bringing out the full potential of the coffee. The double-walled construction keeps your drink hot longer, while the unique shape allows for maximum aroma and flavor extraction.

I chose the Senti cup for our deep medium Basecamp blend, and wow! This cup maximized the aroma and enhanced the body of this blend like I’ve never experienced before. This cup is known for directing the coffee to the center of your tongue, and brings out those nutty, earthy and caramel flavors we all love.

For lighter roasts, I recommend the Alto Illuminator to enhance the body and fruit acidity that usually accompanies the lighter roasts. The flared lip and hourglass shape of this glass will direct the coffee to the tops and sides of your tongue, bringing out a bright, citrusy taste. This option is great for the fruitier coffees we offer like the Guatemala La Cumbre.

No matter what type of cup you choose, remember that the most important thing is to enjoy your coffee however you like it!

As always, happy brewing!
