I don’t understand, you say it’s a myth and then said it’s better when warm?

Regardless, I would say it’s an objective fact that good coffee is ruined at room temperature. It still tastes fine, but no where near as good.

What especially irks me is that they could have just heated the stuff in a microwave [1] to 50°C and have a much better test.

I meant it's better when cooled, not straight off the boil. Bad coffee tastes better when it's too hot to drink. Good coffee tastes better when it's cooled.
