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. For me the whole point of milk/creamer is for it to cool the coffee down now rather than having to wait.

    I also prefer my wine cold. And will drop an ice cube in it to chill it off if it’s not. So I might be a heathen.

      I enjoy every drinking liquid with an ice cube in it. Every one except water. I like water room temp.

      I’m no wine drinker myself, but I’ve heard that you can use frozen grapes instead of actual ice cubes so the melting water won’t dillute the wine. Have you ever tried that, and if yes, did it actually work as intended? (just curious)

        No, I haven’t. But I will now. A handful of frozen grapes in wine sounds like an excellent summer snack.
