    I drink my coffee from hot all the way through to iced. Any temperature except for that extreme hot when you first get it. I always ask them to toss in two ice cubes at dunkin donuts when I get a hot coffee.

    Same way with me at McD's, I ask for lite ice in my coffee, it's always a treat after dialysis.

    Heat your water to the point that it just starts boiling with an electric kettle then brew your coffee in a french press using coarsely grounded beans. Not only will it taste better, but by the time its done brewing, the coffee will be the perfect temperature for consumption. Pour it straight into a good thermos, and you'll be good to go.

    I dont really drink coffee. But i do choose to go to my local bakery for any food/drink over a fast food chain.

    Its nice to spend money and feel good about who/where it is going.
