I have few white mugs like these from IKEA. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60120028
The other day, I saw different colors in the store and I wanted to "decorate" my kitchen. But, when I got home, I regretted that I got the black mugs. Because coffee tastes different out of a black mug. I don't know what's best use of them. Could you give me some suggestions?

put some potting soil in the black ones and use them to grow an herb garden on the kitchen window sill. You might even want to use the rest of the mugs the same way????
The only difference I can see in my black or dark blue mugs (not IKEA) is that I cannot see when the mug is full so often make a mess when pouring coffees!!

I would drink milk or lattes out of them. Maybe something topped with whipped cream or a bright green soup. Yum. That would taste so much better in black. Plus, you will be all set when your goth friends come to visit. We have black bowls and they taste great with cereal. Good luck! (I almost always buy white insides.)
I looked at the other colors, and I bet green would be the best for coffee. Just the perfect contrast. You could hide the white ones and use green and give guests the black ones.

I use black mugs for tea, tastes just fine to me. If you really believe your coffee tastes different in them then just use them for decorative purposes. After all that was the reson you bought them.

last resort put some dirt in it and plant herbs..
