Does how your coffee cup feels effect the taste?

The difference is clear. The color, or lack of it, does effect what your coffee tastes like.

People given the exact same coffee only in different colored cups did express a difference in taste.
Black cups got the response that the coffee was bitter. The coffee in white cups were said to be flat and low in flavor. Other assorted colors resulted in similar results with the darker colors leaning toward a bitter taste and lighter color cups were line with a white cup.

The clear winner in this test is a clear cup. A large majority of the test subjects said that the coffee in the clear cup tasted the most like the coffee they drank blind folded.

However there appears to be other cup selections missing from this test.
That paper, metal, plastic, or other of the countless materials coffee cups are made of today.
It's not only the color of the cup that appears to make a difference as to how the coffee taste but what the cup feels like is likely to have a effect also. This was not addressed in the "cup color test".

Perhaps the results on the touch test "if any" are just not public. Or perhaps not.....

Is there a mystery here? We shall see..... We shall see...

Weather /climate change and your coffee

Weather unpredictability/climate change is a leading factor in future coffee prices. Making the small coffee grower looking to expand their land used to cultivate coffee. Felling of rain forests will accelerate current trends in a changing climate. adding even more unpredictability to coffee supplies and future prices. With the current world price at 90 cents a pound is making profitability in many countries nearly impossible With production cost at about $1.50 per pound. The shortest answer is to grow more coffee witch takes more land, ,fewer trees, more c02, additional climate effects . Climate change and general weather unpredictability are one of the driving forces in the roller coaster ride coffee prices are having and will likely continue to have in the foreseeable future. Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions.

Used coffee grounds can help stop global warming.

With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane. Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel. The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...

Meat and climate change. One side of the story.

What do you think? This is one side of the story. Meat production is a major contributor to climate change. It is estimated that livestock production accounts for 70 per cent of all agricultural land use and occupies 30 per cent of the land surface of the planet. Because of their sheer numbers, livestock produce a considerable volume of greenhouse gases (such as methane and nitrous oxide) that contribute to climate change. In fact, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has estimated that livestock production is responsible for 18% of greenhouse gases. The growing of livestock and other animals for food is also an extremely inefficient process. For example, it takes approximately five to seven kilograms of grain to produce one kilogram of beef. Each of those kilograms of grain takes considerable energy and water to produce, process, and transport. As meat consumption has grown around the world, so has its climate impact.
