Out of six double-walled pints mated with two of their very recommendable shotglasses, I am down to a single shotglass that anyone in my house is afraid to touch. After the mourning that accompanied the last six losses (one was MY fault, haha) it's no surprise. I'd say stick with the curved, shorter styles and you are fine really. Try a teaspoon or so of Cider vinegar in your Yerba Mate sometime...it keeps your mate from turning that brownish green hue and tastes pretty good too. Fun blog..thanks, and have a great day!

I like Yerba Mate and I'm a big tea drinker too. But, I haven't given up coffee entirely. Yes, the double walled glasses are great. So far, I have been impressed with their durability, I only bought one to start, not knowing how fragile they were. I checked with the manufacturer and they're dishwasher safe -- I have a few of them now and never had one break. Have you had any problems with them? Damon,

Never touched coffee again; don't even crave it. I would also have to suggest looking for an unsmoked variety to try as a first timer should you get the urge. BTW... the double walled cups are amazing aren't they! Unfortunately on the pricey side and VERY fragile.

I couldn't find much information on this new bean, it seems like a closely guarded secret for now, so I'm not sure how it tastes. I am definitely not a biologist, is there any incorrect biological info in the post. - Chad Greg, thanks for the info.

There are 26 species of coffee plants. One of them produces the coffee we consume, called arabica. Another, robusta (canephora), requires chemical treatment to taste like tolerable coffee (arabica). The other 24 species of coffee plant produce beans that are too foul for humans to commercially consume. So what do you think the odds are that adding one more species, that's naturally decaffeinated, is going to produce anything humans will not throw up on? You really need to brush up on your biology.
