Cold vs hot coffee

215 views

Why does a cold coffee taste so different from a hot one? I like my coffee either way but I gotta say that when my morning mug grows colder it starts to taste very different (and sometimes better). Just wondering what does losing its warmth do to the flavor exactly?

Edit: typo

It is probably due to the change in taste sensitivities. You can taste sweet and bitter better when the beverage is closer to your body temperature.
