Articles about whether stainless steel water cups can be used to make coffee or tea have been discussed many times before, but recently some videos showing the spraying content of water cups have become popular, and the comments under these articles or videos about making tea and coffee in stainless steel water cups have also become popular. More and more, many friends think that it is not good to use stainless steel water cups to make tea or coffee, and the taste will become worse. Today I will share this content with you. Why can stainless steel water cups be used to make tea and coffee?
Friends who have different opinions, please read the articles on the website first. First of all, I am not writing this article because of my personal usage habits and preferences, nor is it due to my own paranoia. It is just based on my professional experience and has been objectively used by many users. Let’s talk about it for everyone.
Will drinking coffee from a stainless steel cup change the taste?
1. Answer: Yes. I always feel a strange taste after using a stainless steel water cup to brew coffee. It does not maintain the mellow aroma of the coffee like a ceramic water cup or a glass water cup. This is the reply from most friends, and some even say it tastes weird and difficult to eat.
2. My answer: No. The first thing to ensure that coffee brewed in stainless steel water cups will not taste odorous must be qualified materials. Qualified food-grade 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel will not cause obvious changes in the taste of coffee due to brewing coffee. If the material is passed off as inferior, or the material is secretly replaced, such as using 201 stainless steel to pretend to be 304 stainless steel, or using recycled steel to pretend to be qualified food-grade material steel, etc., if the material is qualified and the nickel-chromium-manganese content is increased, then brew Sometimes it will be incorporated into the coffee, causing the coffee taste to change.
Secondly, the production process and storage management of water cups are not done well. For example, stainless steel products are easily contaminated by oil during the production process. If they are used without cleaning them, the taste of the coffee will change. Finally, it is because stainless steel water cups conduct heat quickly or have a long heat preservation time. Usually we use glass water cups or ceramic water cups to make coffee. Due to the material, the temperature and heat conduction are relatively uniform and the heat dissipation is relatively fast. The taste of the coffee cup will change with the change of temperature. If it is a single-layer stainless steel water cup, the heat dissipation is accelerated, and the coffee brewing market also determines the taste of the coffee; if it is a double-layer stainless steel thermos cup, the slow cooling of the coffee will also cause a change in taste because the holding time is too long.
Solution: Use a stainless steel water cup to drink coffee. After confirming that the material is qualified, clean the coffee cup thoroughly. It is recommended to use warm water and a gentle scrubber for cleaning. It is better to have a dishwasher. Before drinking hot coffee, first put a cup of hot water in the stainless steel cup with the same temperature as the brewing temperature, let it stand for 1 minute, then pour it out, and then brew it. In this way, even if there is no coating added inside the stainless steel cup, the coffee The taste will not change. Single-layer stainless steel water cups operate the same as double-layer stainless steel water cups.
What should you pay attention to when making tea in a stainless steel cup?
In addition to some of the same precautions as brewing coffee when using stainless steel water cups to make tea, here are some other differences and precautions.
Try not to use stainless steel water cups to brew green tea, because green tea is sensitive to changes in taste, and green tea contains higher plant acid content than other tea products. Long-term use of stainless steel water cups to brew green tea will indeed corrode stainless steel. Also, use a double-layer stainless steel thermos cup to make tea. No matter what kind of tea it is, do not open the lid to make tea. After the tea leaves are steeped, it is recommended to pour out the tea leaves. Only keep the brewed tea water in the cup, and then cover it to keep it warm or carry it with you. . Due to the excellent heat preservation performance of the thermos cup, if the tea leaves and tea water are kept in the thermos cup after brewing tea at high temperature, the tea leaves will be boiled by the high temperature tea water if it is covered for a long time, which will seriously affect the taste of the tea.
Share it here and think about it carefully. How do you use a stainless steel water cup to drink tea or coffee on a daily basis? Especially when drinking tea, do you just put the lid on after brewing and forget about it, or even drink it after running for half an hour?
