Mum would have it hot with milk for breakfast, but then switched to cold black for the rest of the day.

(Is it any wonder that I don't life the flavour of coffee?)
While I understand wanting to drink cool drinks in Africa (I find it too hot here in Sweden like half the year, I suspect Africa would kill me), intentionally drinking cool coffee sounds crazy to me. In my experience, cooling the coffee removes pretty much any taste not sour and bitter.
