Coffee or Tea ?

[chesterbells]

It usually takes me a while to drink a coffee but if I have a muffin or piece of cake with it I can swig it back in no time.

Haha, you’re not wrong.

Yeah, I did think of that, and it could be the answer, but I thought/think the differences were/are negligible.

I do appreciate you responding to my seemingly bizarre and niche musings on this topic btw pal ;-)

Oh, oh, when I replied I didn't get any thanks.

Hmm, so in terms of heat capacity, it seems darker materials emit radiation more quickly, so darker hot drinks cool faster. My coffees are definitely darker than my teas. Maybe I’m getting somewhere at last @Alan Harper's Tash

Darker roast coffees tend to be brew better at lower temperatures (obviously not instant, as that has already been through the brewing process and you are essentially just rehydrating the coffee). For a very dark roast, I would probably brew at around 80 - 85 degrees.
