What is Somatosensory?

Have you ever taken a sip of coffee and felt a rush of sensations flooding your mouth? You might be experiencing somatosensory awareness! This term refers to the way our body perceives tactile sensations, enabling us to enjoy not just flavors but also textures and temperatures. It’s about how we experience the physical characteristics of food and drink in our mouths, a crucial aspect of tasting coffee.

The Role of Cup Thickness and Mouthfeel

The way coffee tastes can greatly depend on the thickness of the cup from which it is sipped. A thicker rim can create a heavier mouthfeel, altering how flavors are perceived. For instance, when you drink coffee from a thicker-walled mug, you might notice that warmth dissipates more slowly, allowing the rich and aromatic experiences to linger longer on your palate. Conversely, a thinner cup often makes for a more delicate sensation, enhancing nuances that you might miss in a bulkier vessel.

Mouthfeel, an essential component of tasting, is influenced by these characteristics. The texture of the cup, combined with the brewing method and type of coffee, creates an intricate sensory journey. Whether creamy or sharp, the way the coffee interacts with the lips and tongue can enhance or detract from the overall enjoyment of your brew.

This brings us to our unique product, Walking Cups, which features two distinct spouts with varying thicknesses on a mobile ceramic cups.
