Okay, this is entirely random but here’s a question for you. We all know coffee is good when it’s hot, and a whole lot of us enjoy a coffee when it’s cold too. So how come a lukewarm coffee is just flat out nasty?
There will of course be someone out there who will insist they like their coffee lukewarm, just like I like chicken when it’s been hugely overcooked and it’s all dry and chewy. But on the whole isn’t cool when it’s lukewarm. Why is that do you suppose?

p.s. i’d work for you at poshcoffee- i’ve got two years experience as a barista on the old-school espresso machines and by the time you open the place i’ll most likely have my MBA as well. wait. maybe we should just be partners.

i wonder if someone’s gonna make a religious analogy about that one. hahha
that is a fantastic question cause if it aint way hot or way cold, its way gross.

No religious analogy…but, lukewarm is yucky! It’s like melted icecream…why bother.

I can’t think of any beverage that I’d like lukewarm. Even water. Yuck.

Overall, balance is good. But we need a few extremes in life. This must be one of them. =D

I like my coffee hot and creamy. Lotsa food is good cold, lukewarm is just “old” tasting.
cold coffee is just nasty!

Lukewarm anything is no bueno.

i’m perfectly happy with most lukewarm drinks. if it’s too hot or too cold then it hurts my teeth.

I think it’s the unexpected-ness of the temperature… you’re expecting to get a nice warm gulp… but are sorely disappointed and caught off guard by the room temperature.
