The Fish 11080 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Dr Tom Stafford, psychologist from Sheffield University, says a person's brain is trained to believe the daily ritual of making coffee or tea should be done in a certain way in order to derive maximum enjoyment. He said: "Drinking tea and coffee is very ritualistic and people become very addictive to the way they want their brew made. "Caffeine is very much a drug of reward and like any addict, people develop passions on how the drug is delivered. "Where ever there is drug use then rituals will always develop. "The long association with the delivery of a morning cup of coffee or tea people genuinely think it tastes better out of a particular cup. "It might be irrational or arbitrary but it's absolutely true. Your daily brew tastes better from your favourite mug. According to research, 65 percent of Brits have a favourite cup or mug they use for their morning I do have a couple of rituals these days, a "special" mug being one of them, despite it being the same size, shape and age as all the others, it's still... my mug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11080 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) if you make it in a mug, it's; heat the mug, pop in a bag, then boiling water, leave for a minute, then add milk. Done. The boiling water not do that for you? Aye, but a warm mug receiving hot water stays hotter longer and such. stick that up your smoke and pipe it Edited March 16, 2009 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
