Most people I know drink their coffee piping hot and act all disgusted at the idea of letting it cool down first. They would pour it away and brew a new one rather than drink the lukewarm stuff. And if you ask a barrista around these parts to not steam the milk but pour it into the coffee cold, you’re often met with indignant confusion as if you just offended their entire line of ancestors.

Is it really that weird to prefer room temperature coffee, or am I surrounded by coffee snobs?

    I just like coffee.

    I don’t like it piping hot, but that’s just because it’s an unnecessary complication. I want it cool enough to drink comfortably. But that can be anything from reasonably hot to iced - the important part is that it’s coffee.
