To wonder why women 65+ are all determined that coffee should be mouthscaldingly hot

My mum, her friends, all the ladies

A normal temp is "cold please bring another one"

Is this an era thing or will it come for me too?

If I heard anyone speak like that to a friend/relative/member of hospitality staff I wouldn’t drink coffee with them, so it’s probably quite a self selecting sample.

I’m 65 in a few months, I prefer my drinks at a normal non scalding temperature so unless I suddenly change overnight I can’t see how this is an age related thing….
