As a coffee lover, you understand that coffee is not just a drink—it's an experience. The temperature at which you drink your coffee can significantly influence its flavor profile. Let's delve into how different temperatures affect the taste of coffee and why the GoBrew cup is designed to optimize this relationship.
Coffee Temperature and Flavor
Researchers at the University of Texas discovered that the ideal drinking temperature for coffee is around 58°C (136°F). This temperature is hot enough to release the coffee’s aromatic compounds but cool enough to avoid burning your tongue. However, the journey of coffee flavor through different temperatures is fascinating and complex:
- 70°C to 85°C (158°F to 185°F): At these high temperatures, coffee is too hot to drink comfortably, but it's perfect for enjoying the purest and most intense aroma.
- 60°C (140°F): As the coffee cools to this temperature, bitterness becomes more pronounced, making it less enjoyable.
- 31°C to 50°C (88°F to 122°F): This range is where coffee reveals the most flavors. Sweetness peaks around 44°C (111°F), while bitterness is minimal around 42°C (108°F). Acidity and other nuanced flavors, such as fruity, floral, and nutty notes, become more pronounced.
- 31°C to 37°C (88°F to 99°F): In this cooler range, sweetness and complex flavors like fruits, herbs, and nuts are at their peak, providing a richer tasting experience.
- 25°C (77°F): At this low temperature, acidity is at its best, making the coffee taste brighter and more vibrant.
Given these temperature dynamics, GoBrew is designed to enhance your coffee experience by quickly cooling your coffee to below 80°C (176°F), and then preserving its rich flavors. Unlike other outdoor coffee cups that focus solely on maintaining high temperatures which would also cause keeping heating coffee, GoBrew’s double-wall insulation and design ensure that your coffee quickly reaches and maintains an optimal drinking temperature.
Our unique features, including the 78° flared lip and ultra-thin rim, not only facilitate the perfect sip but also maximize aroma release and prevent spills. The ceramic interior ensures that the coffee’s flavor remains pure, avoiding the metallic taste that can come from stainless steel interiors. Moreover, GoBrew accommodates both hot and cold brews, making it versatile for all your coffee preferences.
