Different Mug or Glass and Cup affect how coffee aroma and tastes

Material: The material of the mug or glass can affect the temperature of the coffee. 
Metal tend to keep coffee hotter for longer, it can also has strong metallic flavor that can affect taste of coffee, which can make it taste more bitter.
Glass if it is made from tempered, heat-resistant glass, it doesn’t affect the flavor of coffee.
Ceramic is a good all-around option, as they retain heat well without imparting any unwanted flavors.
Reinforced Plastic can also trap unpleasant odours and flavours over time, which will affect how your coffee tastes.
. Shape : The shape of the mug or glass can also affect how coffee tastes and smell, ex:
Wide liquid surface area affects the rate of oxidation, increase air exposure, this influences the softening of tannins and acidity, and the rate of heat loss. Faster oxidation results in increase sweetness.
The narrower vessels seem to amplifies tannins and enhance the acidity of coffee.
They also differ in terms of rim architecture, which affects the flow and spread of coffee on your tongue and perceive your coffee taste.
. Colours : According to a study by Van Doorn, Wuillemin, and Spence  (https://flavourjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2044-7248-3-10), people seemed to perceive better intensity of the coffee flavours relative to the transparent mug.
Meanwhile, a separate experiment conducted by Carvalho resulted in the observation that drinking from pink, rounded cups enhanced people’s perception of the coffee’s sweetness.
It is possible that colours contrast between the mug and the coffee may have affected the perceived intensity/sweetness of the coffee.
