WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD COFFEE BE SERVED AT?

The generally agreed-upon range for serving coffee falls between 195°F (90°C) and 205°F (96°C). Within this range, hot water effectively extracts the desirable compounds from the coffee grounds, striking a balance between flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel. This temperature range allows for the extraction of the rich flavors and aromatic compounds without causing excessive bitterness.
