In this intimate morning conversation, I explore the often-overlooked pleasure of drinking coffee as it naturally cools to room temperature. With my coffee sitting at 108 degrees at the start of our chat, I share my personal journey of discovering how coffee reveals its true character as it cools. I explain why drinking coffee at different temperature stages, particularly when it reaches room temperature, can provide a more authentic and nuanced tasting experience.

I delve into the science behind why professional coffee cuppers let their coffee cool before tasting, and how heat can mask the true flavors of your brew. Through personal anecdotes and observations, I share how drinking room temperature coffee has helped me better understand and appreciate the complexities of different roasts. Listeners will learn why letting their coffee cool might actually enhance their coffee-drinking experience and how to develop a more refined palate for detecting subtle flavor notes.
