Nothing is safe.
But here's the thing: Like most other commercially available cans, beer cans are lined with epoxy that contains bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical that keeps foods from reacting to aluminum, but that has also become associated with a range of ailments, including cancer, reproductive trouble, and irregular brain development ...

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
No chicory here. Just the breakfast blend. I've had a few coffees with chicory but I don't care for it too often.

My wife loves it too. The secret is to use a percolator instead of a drip coffee maker.

I'm a little particular about my coffee. There is no doubt that an open-top cup with a lot of surface area provides a more complete olfactory experience than a commuter-style mug.
There's also the psychological aspect. Coffee out of a boring coffee machine(these) is great. But if it's out of a mug that I received for participating in some event from years past, then the coffee is just a little nicer.
Wow, never thought about that and it sounds wise! Regarding coffee, to my mind quality of beans and brewing methods matters more. Same about beer, bourbon, etc.

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
My son-in-law gave a French Press to me. I was using it to make Yaupon Tea and then started using it for coffee. Gut problems I had when I was using a Mr. Coffee or a Keurig went away. Can't say for sure, but one reason may be because a French Press can be completely cleaned out and dried between brews. Coffee making machines, not so much.
Here is a post I made about Yaupon Tea.

If coffee were the only thing I could drink I'd still be a happy man.

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
Honest question: do titanium coffee mugs impart less taste to beverages than stainless steel mugs?

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
That is a good question. Stainless and carbon steel both give a strong metallic taste to coffee. The only good side is the practicality, but for drinking coffee there are better taste options. I am not sure about titanium or even tungsten.

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
Yixing tea pots will, after years of use, make 'tea' without any tea leaves. they are just too saturated with tea aromas. This is why they use a different pot for different types of tea.
I noticed this myself even with my stainless steel thermos when I had a lot of tea during the winter. All this to say that after prolonged use some vessels will act as aroma amplifiers adding complexity to the brew. Needless to say, they never wash those Yixing tea pots with detergents, just rinse them with unchlorinated water.

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
That's a good point about things absorbing the tea and coffee. I never washed my coffee pots with soap. I only used plain water because soap gets rid of the oils and the flavor. I guess something of the sort could happen with certain mugs, too.

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
Double walled glass mugs for daily use. Stainless steel vacuum insulated for travel, but don't wash & scrub. Only rinse so that a layer of seasoning remains along the inner wall. Thorough cleaning once a year and the seasoning process begins all over again.

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
Have used a coffee mug daily for 7 years and broke it on the porcelain sink a few weeks ago. A mug I bought from a coffee place in Hawaii
Now nothing tastes the same and can’t find a cup the same size.
Was in Hawaii only a few months ago and they don’t even make them anymore

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
One mug for my coffee and one for my Yaupon tea.
Thought it was just my obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Who knew it was a thing ?
Now I may have to get a second French Press.

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
Yep. Coffee and tea need to be kept separate. Flavored coffees and unflavored coffees need to be kept separate, too.
