換個杯子，咖啡居然更香更好喝 Changing Cups Actually Makes Coffee More Fragrant and Delicious
您相信嗎？原來喝咖啡時換個杯子不只轉換心情....也轉變風味。杯口大小有可能對咖啡的香氣與風味感受產生變化，太有趣了。
Can you believe it? Changing cups not only changes your mood while drinking coffee, but also changes the flavor. The size of the cup opening can affect the aroma and taste of coffee. It's fascinating!
喝咖啡常常會借鏡喝茶或喝紅酒的文化，來感受咖啡的奧義。想起小時候家裏喝茶，會同時用二種杯子，一個窄口高杯、一個寬口矮杯；長輩會說先把茶倒入窄口高杯並聞香，再把茶轉倒入寬口矮杯入口喝。芝加哥嗅覺與味覺治療研究基金會指出，百分之九十的人喝茶並不是喝茶，而是聞茶。
When drinking coffee, we often draw inspiration from tea or red wine culture to appreciate the essence of coffee. I remember when I was young, my family would use two different cups to drink tea: a narrow, tall cup and a wide, short cup. The elders would pour the tea into the narrow, tall cup to smell the fragrance, and then pour it into the wide, short cup to drink. The Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago pointed out that 90% of people who drink tea are actually smelling the tea, not drinking it.
以窄口高杯來喝咖啡如同品酒的專門杯，氣味會非常濃郁且集中地從杯口竄入鼻中，這也是香氣杯或稱聞香杯又高又窄的原因。狹窄的容器可以幫助將香氣集中在狹小的空間內，幫助品飲者更強烈地檢測香氣。
Using a narrow, tall cup to drink coffee is like using a specialized wine-tasting glass. The aroma is very strong and concentrated, shooting directly into the nose from the cup's opening. This is also the reason why a aroma cup or a smelling cup is narrow and tall. The narrow container can help concentrate the aroma in a small space, allowing the taster to detect the aroma more strongly.
如果嗅覺不是最看重的部分，而是喝下去的口感，那麼寬口杯將會是最佳選擇；寬杯入口幅度比較大，觸及舌頭時會平均分散入口，感覺比較順口；此外，較寬的液體表面，將使咖啡更多地暴露在空氣中，由於咖啡氧化更快，從而增強了甜度和醇度。也讓空氣與咖啡香味快速結合，空氣中便會瀰漫著迷人的咖啡香。
If the sense of taste is more important than the sense of smell, then a wide-mouthed cup will be the best choice. The wider cup opening can evenly distribute the coffee on the tongue, making it smoother to drink. In addition, the larger liquid surface area will expose more coffee to air, causing the coffee to oxidize more quickly and enhancing its sweetness and richness. It also allows the aroma of coffee to quickly combine with the air, filling the air with a captivating coffee aroma.
相反地，較小的液體表面積與較長的形狀相結合，會產生較慢的氧化速度，從而增強果酸感受度。
On the contrary, a smaller liquid surface area combined with a longer shape will produce a slower oxidation rate, thereby enhancing the perception of acidity.

以「台灣 阿里山 青葉咖啡莊園 藝妓 日曬」來品測二種杯子所帶來不同之處
窄口高杯: 有著草莓香及水果酒香，中後段有熟成芒果，酸甜感強烈濃郁。
寬口矮杯: 入口有著花香及百香果香，整體感受香甜感佳。
Using "Taiwan Alishan Ching Ye Coffee Estate Geisha Natural" as an example to compare the differences brought by two different cups:
Narrow, tall cup: It has a strawberry and fruity wine aroma, with mature mango in the middle and a strong and rich sweet and sour taste.
Wide, short cup: It has a floral and passion fruit aroma, with a good overall sense of sweetness.
較窄的杯子與濃郁的香氣聯繫在一起，而較寬的杯子與較甜的感受聯繫在一起，是不是非常有趣呢？除了改變萃取率來調整酸甜感之外，還可以用杯子來調整飲用感受，試著改變一下器皿來感受不同體驗。
The narrower cup is associated with a strong aroma, while the wider cup is associated with a sweeter taste. Isn't it interesting? In addition to adjusting the acidity and sweetness by changing the extraction rate, you can also adjust the drinking experience by changing the cup. Try changing your cup and experience a different coffee experience.
