Earlier quoted context omitted.
> coffee get’s so much worse when cold This is a myth. Bad coffee tastes better when hot because your sense of taste is dulled - reducing bitterness. Also, at higher temperatures, aromatics and volatile compounds are more airborne, improving the smell of coffee. Good coffee is better enjoyed around 60-70C
I don’t understand, you say it’s a myth and then said it’s better when warm? Regardless, I would say it’s an objective fact that good coffee is ruined at room temperature. It still tastes fine , but no where near as good. What especially irks me is that they could have just heated the stuff in a microwave [1] to 50°C and have a much better test.

I meant it's better when cooled, not straight off the boil. Bad coffee tastes better when it's too hot to drink. Good coffee tastes better when it's cooled.
