If you want to get fancy, add a little milk or cream to the cup before you pour. This extra fat helps temper the coffee’s heat, making the transition even smoother. It’s like adding a cozy blanket before a breeze.
Or, if you’re like me and forget things, prep an ice tray with leftover coffee. Coffee ice cubes. Yes, they exist, and they’re brilliant. You freeze yesterday’s brew, then pop one in today’s hot coffee. No dilution, just pure, cold caffeine bliss.
