Curse of a Cofee Lover, Part 2
Posted by nathan on 29 May 2008 | Tagged as: coffee
So we’ve already established the fact that I like to drink coffee. Let me rephrase that–I like to drink good coffee.
But as my coffee palette continues to refine, some of the little things I didn’t notice before are now a curse. Such as a travel mug.
We have several travel mugs–one of those plastic mugs with a lid so the coffee won’t spill. But here’s the curse–coffee tastes different to me now when I drink it out of a plastic mug.
Yes, I can taste a difference between coffee in a plastic mug and coffee in a ceramic, steel or glass mug.
And of course, all our travel mugs are plastic, so I taste sub-par coffee every morning, even though we only brew good beans.
Ahh…the curse of coffee.

I too am a coffee snob and I feel your pain. We served Starbucks at Aaron’s graduation party, even though I knew it would be cheaper to just buy Folgers. I could not do it. I could not serve swill to my unsuspecting guests. It just would not be right.
Goodluck in your search for the perfect travel mug. I have gone through many. For awhile I bought the paper cups with lids (like the coffee shops use.) I finally quit work and drink all my coffee at home now. Hope it doesn’t get that bad for you.
