My Hot or Iced Coffee
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks on the planet and my favorite. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, and there are many different ways to prepare it.
I am not a coffee expert, but I can say that both iced coffee and hot coffee have their positive and negative aspects. The choice between one or the other depends largely on personal preference and the occasion.
I will now give my opinion on the difference between one and the other, according to my taste.
Iced Coffee
Iced coffee is made with hot coffee that is cooled. It can be served with or without ice and can be sweetened or unsweetened. Iced coffee is refreshing, perfect for those hot days.
One of its advantages is that it can be easier to drink for those who find hot coffee too bitter or acidic. In addition, iced coffee offers a wide variety of flavor options, since it can be mixed with syrups, milk, cream, and other ingredients. However, it is important to keep in mind that iced coffee can contain more sugar and calories than hot coffee due to the addition of sweet ingredients.
The times I've had iced coffee at home, I've done it because there was coffee left over in the morning and I've stored it in the refrigerator. When the afternoon comes and I need some energy, I reach for my cold coffee and drink it as if it were a soft drink. When I drink it cold I don't put sugar or sweeteners in it.
I'll be honest, I drink it that way (iced) because I'm lazy, because I don't want to heat it up.
Hot Coffee
Hot coffee is a classic and comforting beverage enjoyed all over the world. It is made with ground coffee that is poured over hot water. It can be served with milk, sugar, or both. Hot coffee is a comforting drink that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a good source of caffeine, which can help wake you up and improve your mood, especially in the morning.
One of its advantages is that the heat helps to release the aromas and flavors of the coffee, which can enhance the tasting experience. In addition, there are studies that claim that a good cup of hot coffee every day can help improve circulation.
One thing I like about hot coffee is that it's stronger than iced coffee. It's more bitter, and I love that.
The texture of iced coffee and hot coffee varies according to the way they are prepared. Iced coffee may be smoother and creamier than hot coffee, and may have a sweeter flavor. Hot coffee may have a smokier flavor.
Ultimately, the best type of coffee is the one that each person likes best. Some people prefer iced coffee because it is refreshing and delicious, while others prefer hot coffee because it is comforting. There is no right or wrong answer, and it is simply a matter of personal preference.
I'm a lover of hot coffee.

I also like hot coffee, I think most people prefer it that way, hot coffee is a tradition for years served steaming and well loaded.
Thanks for sharing.
Good day.
Thank you for your kind visit and comment.
I think you're right on the hot coffee part. I don't think the aromatic flavour of coffee is well released with cold coffee as it with hot, steaming coffee. But I've taken an iced Americano once and it was quite amazing.
Hope you're having a wonderful day friend.🤗
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
At the end individuals preferences is what really matters, if yours is the iced one then it's the best for you and if it's the hot one, that's also best for you. Both each of them weather iced or hot, have their advantages and disadvantages as well.
Totally agree, it is a matter of taste.
Thanks for your kind comment.
