Review on Set Of 4 Large Handle 15Oz Classic Black Ceramic Coffee Mugs By Serami by Scott Hadlock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Always Use Ceramic Over Plastic Or Metal For Taste!

This coffee mug is perfect! It's not too big, not too small and the ceramic finish is definitely the way to go. I've tried plastic (BPA Free) coffee mugs before and they just don't have the taste that the ceramic mug offers. I would highly recommend this product, it's fulfilled by Revain and they're customer service and shipping time has always been superb! Ceramic VS Alternative Materials: I have purchased many different types of coffee mugs and traveling mugs. I have to say, you can't really get around having a non-ceramic mug for traveling, because ceramic travel mugs would easily break. But for those of you who really enjoy the taste of coffee and the experience of every sip I would always recommend Ceramic over the alternative materials. Plastic mugs: I've tried the BPA Free plastic mug that looks like a Starbucks coffee mug. It works well, but after about a month or so you start to taste a weird after taste with every sip. It's called leaching and even though it is BPA Free it doesn't prevent leaching from occurring. It's also irreversible so once this begins to occur you can pretty much accept the after taste that comes along with it for as long as you are planning to keep that mug around. Metal Mugs: The biggest problem I have with metal mugs is the altered taste. Have you ever had the experience of drinking coca cola out of a glass bottle vs a tin can? It tastes so much better in the glass bottle than it does in a can. Here's a test I would recommend to those who don't believe there is an altered taste. Place water into a glass or ceramic mug and than pour water into a steel (or any type of metallic) mug. Use the same water from the same source and let it sit for ten minutes or so. After ten minutes you will have had more than enough time to taste a significant difference. I personally think the metallic taste is disgusting but completely understand that everyone has their own opinion on that. Some may prefer it. So unless you are planning to purchase a mug for outdoor/travel usage, purchase a ceramic mug for your own everyday satisfaction at home. Coffee will always taste fresh that way.
