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?

    Same here mate. Both coffee and tea. The coffee can be warm, the tea is best to me when at or below room temperature.

    I drink both “straight” - no sweeteners, sugars, flavoring, milk or cream.

    You do you and since it’s not hurting nobody, there is no reason for anyone to tell you otherwise.

      depends on the type of tea. if it’s Chinese with leafs and all, you cannot drink it cold / room temperature. it loses literally all the flavors.
