Coffee changes taste when it cools down
The main change in coffee when it gets cold is the taste, which can be totally different from when the drink is hot. That reason alone is enough to drive away hot coffee lovers once and for all. In this case, coffee usually loses the more bitter, strong and potent flavor it has when it is hot and, especially, freshly made. On the other hand, there are those who say that the drink tends to taste a little more “sour” after it cools down at room temperature.
This change will be noticeable every time the coffee is served cold. This is also the reason why more sweet mixtures are used in cold or iced coffee, to take advantage of the drink's neutrality without the strong flavor and also to disguise the more sour taste.
Cooling coffee is not bad
Apart from the tastes, there is no danger to the body from drinking coffee that has cooled down to room temperature or that is served chilled. This information probably goes against those who claim that coffee when it cools down can cause heartburn. In fact, the drink itself can have quite adverse effects on the stomach of the drinker, and that doesn't change whether it's hot or cold. Therefore, the choice of coffee temperature should always be based on the taste of each consumer.
As we mentioned, it is very common to find people who prefer to drink iced coffee and do not feel any discomfort. Therefore, choose your preferred type of preparation and enjoy the good times with coffee by your side.
