It was a dreary and cold day so I made two cups of dark roast black coffee. Nothing like a strong cup of coffee to help warm you up.
Please be careful. I did the same thing as you and it burned the roof of my mouth. This article from the Cleveland Clinic, a very reliable and reputable source, explains the link between hot beverages/food and esophageal cancer:I've been making my coffee too hot, when I reheat it in the microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds. The back of my throat is all red and sore. I kinda knew I was making it too hot, but I like it that way.
I'm glad you posted that, as I've read the same thing. Scary, eh.Please be careful. I did the same thing as you and it burned the roof of my mouth. This article from the Cleveland Clinic, a very reliable and reputable source, explains the link between hot beverages/food and esophageal cancer:

Yikes! I kinda knew I was drinking it too hot all this year, but I like it that way. But now my throat is all red and burnt looking. I'll have to change my ways.link between hot beverages/food and esophageal cancer
That sounds yummy. Does it taste like chocolate?Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Ground Coffee
I liked hot coffee too but ended up having to go to the doctor when I burnt the roof of my mouth. It was so bad that he gave me a prescription for a compound pharmacy. Now I wait approximately 15 minutes before drinking my coffee.Yikes! I kinda knew I was drinking it too hot all this year, but I like it that way. But now my throat is all red and burnt looking.

I used to also. They I got an electric kettle that I use to make tea. I love that thing so much. It heats up water so fast and the water stays hot longer than water heated in the microwave. That's always been my issue. Microwaved water cools off too fast for me.I heat my water in the microwave till it boils. Then I add it to my tea or coffee. As for drinking it too hot, I find if the mug is too hot to wrap my hands around, it's too hot to drink. And since I always have cold hands, my hot drinks always double as a hand warmer.
I agree. It does. I thought it was just me. I get a slight tinny/metallic taste from it.To me, microwaved water tastes a bit weird. Maybe it's psychological. That's why I always heat up my water for tea or the French press in the kettle.
During the winter, I order my drinks from SB extra hot. This way, by the time I get into the house, and settled; it is a perfect temperature for me.I should add that the coffee drink that sent me to the doctor was an Americano from Starbucks, not my own coffee. I asked SB about it afterwards and unbeknownst to me they said they use a higher temperature of steamed water to make it. I do love Americanos so if I order one anywhere I wait before drinking it or add a few small ice cubes.
Dark roast coffee this morning and will need a pick-me-up this afternoon.

Now I'm going to have to try boiling water in the kettle to see if a) it stay hot longer, and b) tastes better.To me, microwaved water tastes a bit weird.
Dunkin is notorious for getting orders wrong... That is one reason why I go to SB... plus, I do not care for Dunkin's coffee. Tastes like dishwater to me.. just my opinion...I always order through the app when I get from Dunkin. I ordered their new 100% Columbian again and this time got it with the gingerbread flavor swirl added. I liked the flavor a lot but I think they gave me the original roast this time. It wasn't as good. This location must have high turnover because they are always hiring.
The one I go to normally gets it right but if they have someone new it might not be. I don't like DD's original blend but their dark roast and the new Columbian are really good.Dunkin is notorious for getting orders wrong...
