I prefer lukewarm coffee to hot coffee.

Let me start by saying that I drink coffee for the caffeine, not the taste. I do not like the taste of coffee. Sure, a $5 mega sugared hyper cream "coffee" from a coffee stand tastes pretty good, but at that point I may as well have a milkshake for 5-6 times the enjoyment I would get from coffee.

I don't like a ton of creamer or sugar in my coffee, it tastes too sweet. But I need the caffeine kick. So I drink my coffee black or with light cream. But I let it cool to near room temperature.

Why, you ask? So I can chug it. I hate the taste either way. If I let it cool enough I can drink the whole cup in a couple seconds and be done. Otherwise it's a few minutes of sipping and grimacing at the taste.

I agree that it's better lukewarm.

You take some small sips when it's hot but once it gets lukewarm you fucking chug it!

I agree with the downvote. I was not expecting so many people to jump on and agree with me.

Why not drink something other than coffee?

Coffee is free at work. And I'm cheap.

Fair enough. Maybe splurge on some flavored creamer? Or go to a gas station and take some?

I don't want diabetes. Also, you don't like coffee if you need flavored creamers.

A little creamer won't give you diabetes unless you're already on the line. I thought you don't like coffee, which is why I'm suggesting the flavored creamer. I personally like coffee, and drink it black, but every now and then getting a flavor in it is nice

Seems fair. I love the taste. If I hated the taste but still wanted a caffeine hit I'd probably take caffeine pills. Assuming coffee was all I had though I'd want to down it as quickly as possible and it being lukewarm would help with that.

I agree. I like to be able to drink it fast and get my caffeine intake quickly!!!

There's no accounting for taste.
