What is the perfect temperature for coffee?

There is no good temperature for drinking it I think, it depends on how you like it. It’s different for infusion time also.

I can honestly say I don’t know. I have never taken the temperature of my coffee.

The temperature when it hits your lips is a personal preference. The critical temperature is the brewing temperature which should be about 200 degrees.

Perhaps I should have been more specific. Do you prefer your coffee too hot to drink initially, so you can barely sip it? Do you like it just below throat-scalding? Or just barely warm? For the Starbucks fans, do you let your cup cool a bit after they hand it to you, or knock back a slug right away?

Considering I usually either smoke or eat with my coffee…..I want it too hot when served, it’ll cool by the time I get through it. Otherwise it just gets cold before it’s finished.

Er, usually with hot coffee, I want it not quite so hot that it hurts. At a shop, I sometimes wait a bit.
