It doesn’t always taste bad though. I think it’s mostly to do with the raw product.

The Folgers brewed in a drip coffer maker I used to chug just to keep going back in the day tasted like motor oil when it got cold.

The decent quality whole bean Sumatran (or a few other varieties of Indo coffee) is another story. A lot of different flavors are more noticeable when it cools down and I’ve never considered it unpleasant.
