Proses menyeduh kopi atau teh biasanya mendekati titik didih air. Bahkan, minuman panas dari kafe atau kedai kopi yang kamu bawa pulang kadang disajikan hingga 90 derajat Celcius agar tetap hangat sampai diminum di rumah atau kantor.
Penelitian di AS menghitung suhu ideal kopi agar rasa tetap terjaga sekaligus meminimalkan risiko cedera panas pada esofagus. Hasilnya, suhu optimal adalah 57,8 derajat Celcius.
Agar aman menikmati minuman panas tanpa khawatir akan cedera panas maupun risiko kanker, kamu bisa mencoba tips ini:
