Here are a few possible ways to get around drinking tepid coffee vs. hot
coffee.
1.) Slurp the coffee through your teeth.
2.) Drink hot coffee with a straw, placing the straw at the back of your
mouth.
3.) Suck on an ice cube to numb your tongue before taking a drink of hot
coffee, and then gulp.

I'm not a coffee drinker myself... I was just getting a little bored
plowing my way through the 300+ messages that had stacked up while I
moved. What can I say?... I was getting a little creative... :)
