Personally I like my coffee at the same place it's made, at home, work or a café. Not halfway across town delivered 15 minutes later.

Hmmm, people in tea drinking places, say China, do order drinks [boba/bubble] for delivery by scooter, whatnot.

It's a business model and it works well in some places. It doesn't print money, but it gives the chains a competitive advantage.

That's interesting, I wonder if tea travels better than coffee.

I find (black) coffee starts going bitter/sour if not drunk soon enough.

The litmus test of good coffee: is it still nice to drink once it's cooled down to room temperature? If it's undrinkable when lukewarm, it's bad coffee hidden by the fact that your taste buds don't work very well at 85°C. Same goes for people who drink vodka chilled to -15°C, it's to avoid actually tasting the vodka.
