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’m not down with room temperature, but I’m also amazed at how hot some people like their coffee. If I get coffee out, sometimes it’s like trying to drink magma. By the time it cools down enough, I’m over the thought of having coffee. I always ask the barista to throw a couple ice cubes in the cup first.
