A coffee lover's question - or rather, the debunking of a java myth. Proceed with caution.

So you like your coffee, eh?! DP grinds his own, and so and so grows his own in his back yard. It has to be this and that, rich and bold, tart and sweet, black and creamy.

One of the strongest effects on the coffee experience has got to be the cup, right? At home, you have your favourite mug or espresso glass.

So what’s the deal with the fourbucks et al takeaway paper cup? Frankly, as great as the coffee may be, as soon as my lips taste the paper/plastic – there goes my java thrill.

Is it just me?
