Scientists from Federation University Australia and the University of Oxford claim that blue and glass cups reduce coffees bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drank from while cups tastes the bitterest To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups-blue, white and transparent to do an experiment. In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when pared to the other two cups. And the cup made the coffee taste the sweetest The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with coffees bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest. Our study clearly shows that the color of coffee cup does influence the flavor （风味） of coffee, Dr. George of Federation University Australia, said. But the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer. Anyhow, the effect of the cups color on the flavor of the coffee suggests that cafe owners, waiters, as well as coffee cup producers should carefully consider the color of their cups, he added. However, the idea that color can change the taste of food and drink is not new. A study published last year showed that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was 10percent sweeter and 15percent more flavorful than the same food presented on a black plate.12.
