From a cooling perspective, is it better to add the water/milk/cream before or after the pour?

laws of thermodynamics; heat transfer will be the same either way, with the exception of the milk or cream getting warmer after pouring it first. so maybe pouring it afterwards will make your coffee colder, but there's virtually no difference

ok just pour it after

if you're going to put stuff in coffee, you should do it last, so you can watch the cool swirling

use the shade of tan to measure how much milk you’ve added so far

the old English tea debates covered this as well, and in practice the big argument was: the poors have lovely cups so they pour the milk first to avoid too strong of a thermal shock with hot tea that would crack the ceramic or porcelain or whatever material, and the rich can just go hog wild with their quality material and pour the milk last.

I’m on day 9 of drinking instant coffee because I’m living out of a motel. I have to wake up at 3:30am and the motel doesn’t make coffee until 6. there’s also nowhere within walking distance that sells it before 530.

I’m going to kill someone if this goes on for much longer

neither had I before this. I’m down in San Bernardino for truck driving school and it’s the shittiest motel I’ve ever seen. there are broken down cars in the lot, only 1 working outlet in the room other than the ones the tv and fridge plug into, rats in some of the rooms and about 5 hookers who are here with the approval of the manager.

I was also thinking that putting cold where the temperature gradient is greatest (the top of the stack of liquid since heat rises?) might get a faster cooling effect?

I'd seriouspost about just ordering a coffemaker delivered from amazon or walmart, but sounds like the chances of you actually getting the package vs it being stolen at the front desk are uh...not good?

Have you considered theft yourself? See if the motel's machine is bolted down or not, take it back to your room.

so that's why. well i guess it's not an excuse anymore

i guess i can see pouring in cream first could help with measuring purposes, but you could also observe the height offset of the coffee after you pour the cream

espresso that tastes like tomato
