I understand that people in Korea look at me funny when at 38°C in the summer I order a hot cafe latte.
But I also look at them funny no when at -15°C they order a Ice Latte to go.
I like my coffee hot most of the time but I have enjoyed iced coffee. The main problem for me is it’s way easier to drink a lot more iced coffee than is good for me than it ever was to drink hot coffee at and unhealthy volume.
as a Brazilian, if you order an iced coffee there and it’s not a Starbucks or something, you might get some strange looks.
Hot coffee can cool down. Iced coffee gets diluted. I can reheat my coffee. You can’t reverse dilution. But to each their own. We all agree decaf is pointless.

We don’t.
Tell me you only drink coffee for the caffeine without saying only drink it for the caffeine.
Reheated coffee tastes like ass.
I mostly drink hot, but that’s more a matter of convenience than anything. Hot coffee can be ready now, where if I want coffee cold I want coldbrew, which takes hours.
Also drinking hot drinks on a hot day is pretty normal in certain parts of the world, with some science to back up why; they make you sweat, which cools you off. It’s especially nice when you’re wearing a long sleeve shirt made of light fabric, hence the traditional clothing of a lot of desert nations.
Functionally, though, if you’re in a climate controlled building, who cares. Doesn’t matter if it’s -15 outside if it’s 20 inside. Take it how you like KT xD
