Coffee question

Why does an unattended cup go colder quicker than if you were drinking it? Thanks in advance for the answer.

Cos it just does

Fuckin great help you are ain't yer?

Because someone else sneaks a couple of gulps and then tops it up with cold water while your back's turned :p

Cause it is made with iced water, didn't yer know ?

I would dispute your premise here mate. A cup sitting still *should* lose it's heat slower that one getting sloshed about.

Care to post your data?

decaf

Because your gubby mitts aren't keeping it warm.

Nah.

A smaller amount of coffee (ie once you've consumed half of it) will cool more quickly as it has less heat energy to give off. So if you guzzle half, the other half will cool loads more quickly.

Have you put the milk in? Material loses heat at a rate proportional to the difference between it's temperature and the temperature of the air around it. So if you get the milk in quickly (or put it in before the hot water) it will loose energy at a slower rate than if you leave it at close to boiling point.

You may perceive the cup staying warmer for longer when you're sitting looking at it rather than drinking it down.

quite right biggy, coffee with milk in will cool at a slower rate than coffee without it.

So will coffee mixed with jizz... not that I've ever tried to test that theory

Me thinks the Edel doth protesteth too much...

personnally i believe its a question of what type of bean is used in the coffee, robusta or aribica ,, if they blend the 2 then it spikes all the data, also is it a standard 12oz cup or large 16oz cup,, starbucks ( with creamy head) or costa with foamed milk,, yes if its an americano then the barista may have added cold water which speeds the cooling process. time for tea.

i told you so

What about the 'mini mega milky mochas' though

because, a little man comes over every so often, untoniceable and blows the steam off away...
