When it comes to choosing a cup for drinking water, both glass and ceramic cups have their pros and cons.
Glass Cups
Advantages of Glass Cups
Health and Safety: Glass cups are free from organic chemicals during the firing process, eliminating concerns about chemical ingestion.
Easy to Clean: With a smooth surface, bacteria, and dirt are less likely to accumulate on the cup walls.
High Temperature Resistance: Glass cups can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for hot water or tea.
Disadvantages of Glass Cups
Fragility: Glass cups require careful handling to avoid breakage.
High Thermal Conductivity: Care must be taken to prevent burns, especially when containing hot water.
Ceramic Cups
Advantages of Ceramic Cups
Uncolored Glazed Ceramic Cups: Made from safe materials, high temperature resistant, with excellent heat preservation, suitable for hot water or tea.
Colored Glazed Ceramic Cups: These may contain harmful substances to the human body, not recommended for use.
Disadvantages of Ceramic Cups
Colored Glazed Ceramic Cups: These may contain harmful substances to the human body, not recommended for use.
Underglaze Ceramic Cups: Harmful substances in the pigments do not leach out, relatively safe.
Overglaze Ceramic Cups: Harmful substances in the pigments are prone to leaching, potentially endangering health.
In summary, if you prefer uncolored glazed ceramic cups, they are a healthy choice, especially those with colorless inner walls, as they are made from safe materials, are high temperature resistant, and have good heat preservation. If you prefer glass cups, they are also a healthy choice, especially those without colored glaze, as they are made from safe materials, are high temperature resistant, and easy to clean. However, regardless of the material chosen for the cup, it is important to avoid selecting cups with colored glaze or damage, as they may contain harmful substances or may leach out harmful substances.
