Aug 23 2007Coffee and Tea Mugs Ensure Proper Ratio
Suck UK is at it again, this time bringing us MyCuppa Mugs that have a coloring guide on the inside rim to ensure the proper ratio of coffee/tea to milk. They cost about $15, and are a must if you work with the coffee brewing idiots that I do. Every time I scream at someone to make my damn coffee it's never the right color and almost always tastes like urine.

this would be a perfect gift for senile people that can still see color

I don't understand the correlation between senility and color blindness. Is it not something you're born with? Or is there a condition that causes color-sensitivity-deterioration ?
In any case I highly doubt any grandparents buy directly from SuckUK :)

Great! Now you know which one of the f***ers that brings you coffee is colour blind.

or you can just put milk in until it tastes good

Completely unnecessary. The proper way to drink coffee is black...
Once you go black, you never go back.

Ratio of coffee/tea to milk varies according to individual taste.
Moreover it depends on the concentration of the brew and thickness of milk.
Ratios differ for coffee and tea themselves.
Ask a South Indian (from Chennai) he will give you a recipe for a perfect 'filter' coffee that will make you go crazy. In my view coffee making can not be standardized. However the idea may be put to use other for other beverages like Horlicks keeping the recommendation of the manufacturer as standard.
Or can you make the inside of the mug markable by a non-poisonous (edible) marking pen, so that each individual may have highly personlized mugs?
