Ceramic Cupping – A Sensory Journey through a Ceramic Cup
Ceramic Cupping – A Sensory Journey through a Ceramic Cup
This project explores how the shape of a ceramic cup affects taste perception. Unique dual-taste ceramic cups, designed using 3D printing technology, offer at least two different drinking experiences in one small cup to challenge our senses. Collaborating with Sinbad Coffee Roasters, we enhance the specialty coffee experience by experimenting with cup designs and various coffee beverages. Visitors can even customize and 3D print their own cups. Join us in exploring how cup shape influences taste perception and creates lasting memories through ceramics.
