Interesting... I have a cheap stainless mug that I drink from at work, and it makes the coffee taste like crap.... except I always thought it was the coffee. When I used a ceramic mug at work today, the coffee was fine!
An explanation why follows:
A little research and I find out that only high end mugs use 18/10 stainless, and that many are made from lower (and less immune to etching) grades of steel. From Phaelon56 on the Coffee Geek Forums:
I don't recall ever seeing milk steamed/frothed in anything but an 18/10 pitcher. If there was even the most remote chance that using high quality stainless steel in such an application could somehow affect taste, I imagine that industry perfectinists such as David Schomer would long ago have detected this and commented on it (he's famous for his anal attention to detail - BTW that's a compliment!).
I consider aluminum to be at the bottom of the heap (remembering my "tin" drinking cup from Boy Scout camping days of long ago). Plastic is next - it tends to get scuffed easily, absorbs odors and flavors and is difficult to clean (not to mention the weird feel on the lips). Glass, properly glazed china/porcelain and 18/10 stainless steel all have their own merits. I like glass for the visual, porcelain for the delicate feel and heavy glazed china for the solid feel and insulating effect of the thermal mass. Having now owned a couple Frobosk Inox 18/10 double wall cappa sets and also latte sets for a few months now.... stainless rules!
My natural tendencies on the most subconscious and conscious levels draw me toward organic and natural materials and environments. I found the transition to the Froboks cups to be a difficult one at first - it lacks the aestehtic appeal of ceramic or porcelain. Now that I've grown accustomed to them, the remarkable insulating qualities and neutrality have become major assets - it's as though the cup has become transparent in a sense.
My heart remains with ceramic, my eyes with glass but taste buds rule and stainless is the winner.

Personally, I need 3 cups of real coffee before I can do anything

Posted by: Coffee Percolators Online at September 12, 2004 02:07 PMI read something in the paper about that.Author recommended play
casino games dayly.Findings are surprising:low cholesterol
rate,optimal blood pressure,excellent appetite.
This was the week of many errands. Many things to pick up. Many
places to be. New places. Places you ain't never seen. Places I
ain't never been. In but a few short days, I've begun to
understand why an old friend of mine refers to himself (or once
did) as "the Sophist," and I have begun to see the beauty of
Periclean rhetorical tradition. Or, at least, his small part of
the pie. I've even found a new corner to buy a good cup of
coffee.
