Let the coffee cool a bit before drinking it! As the coffee cools, its flavours, sweetness, acidity, and body will become more complex and nuanced.
It’s important to note that while coffee can have health benefits, it can also have negative effects on some people, such as increasing anxiety or interfering with sleep. Additionally, adding sugar or cream to coffee can negate some of the potential health benefits. As with most things, moderation is key when it comes to coffee consumption.
