You're drinking your coffee too hot, amirite?

So the only choices are 110 or 200? Fail. Not unpopular, just silly.

Ideal temperature for brewing is 175 degrees, thats 80 C. Warmer than that neutralizes flavor, colder than that won't extract properly. Room temperature coffee is nasty, it needs to be warm. Not hot, warm.

Depends on the roast. I brew at 190-195, but I drink mostly dark and medium roast.

Lukewarm is more nasty than hot coffee that goes cold IMO. Room temperature coffee is so disgusting to me It HAS TO be either just hot enough to take little sips from (like literally on the absolute edge of how much heat is considered "a little too much"), or iced coffee with literal ice cubes in it. Room temperature lukewarm coffee is so foul

I guess I'm part of the unpopular side here, but I absolutely can't stand too-hot drinks or food. Getting my lip burned taking a bite or a sip just pisses me off so much. Like no, I don't enjoy undergoing physical pain when trying to enjoy a meal. Or the annoyance of having to sit and wait and blow on it and figure out how long I have to wait until I can partake. Just make it "warm enough" that's fine, I'm sick to death of this mouth-scorching stuff.

My mom likes lukewarm coffee. Couple more women in my family do too, so I've definitely tried it. It's so bad.

People who drink it like they like it are doing it right. Whether it's lukewarm, cold or piping hot. If they're drinking it a way they don't like it because you or someone else said that way is best then they're doing it wrong.

You leave my fire water alone. My coffee better feel like drinking hell water.

I love coffee as hot as can be. once cooled, it's ruined. I've never tried iced coffee and doubt I ever will. I cannot stand anything "coffee" flavoured

I drink it at the perfect temperature since it is how I like it.

?? Enjoy your coffee the way you like it. If mine isn't steaming it's not hot enough. Maybe my palette is made of titanium, but nothing annoys me more in the morning than coffee that is about to turn lukewarm.

I like mine around 135 Fahrenheit, but to each their own

My friend NO. Tepid coffee is revolting. I like hot coffee, I will have a few sips of iced coffee but only when it has so much stuff in it, it's basically a milkshake

Hot served coffee IMO needs to be hot enough to have a bit of steam coming out and slightly warm on the outer mug wall. Not a lot or hot enough to need a jacket on the cup but just enough to be steamy. If you're on the go and won't be able to drink the coffee right away for some reason then you probably want to order it hotter just to make the heat last longer. But if I'm drinking it at home or at a cafe right away I want the heat to be just enough.

People who order extra hot coffee do so because they use milk and sugar that cools it. Or they are not going to drink it right away.

No one is putting coffee in their mouth at 200 degrees you idiot. People order coffee extra hot so they can drive to work and it'll still be hot when they get there. You can take little sips at about 150 without burning yourself, bigger mouthfuls at about 135.

I much rather prefer lukewarm or cold coffee than hot coffee. I feel like the taste is duller when the coffee is hot, I can't taste it as well. The flavors are much better when the coffee cools down.

Don't tell me how I should drink my coffee. Not your coffee, not your business.

If a person likes it, it's not too hot

This varies I never drink coffee so warm that it burns so no I do not drink my coffee too hot. It's more than lukewarm, but because lukewarm ruins the taste.

I hate coffee, but even I totally disagree with this. People have preferences with their drinks. Telling them they are wrong for what they personally like isn't an opinion.

I think coffee taste like ass no matter what I do to it. So I just drink it black as fast as I can and move on with my life.
