The description of all this is not an illusion of the drinker, let us tell from the perception of the tongue that the tongue can feel the temperature, when the temperature is high, the tongue is more sensitive to sweetness, so a cup of lightly roasted coffee may be sour and sweet, but when drinking at medium and high temperature, the sweetness will be more obvious than the low temperature, even masking the sour taste of the coffee itself, making people feel that the whole cup of coffee is sweet.

So after drinking a cup of coffee, if the coffee is sweet, then you can drink warm water and you can feel the sweet taste on the tip of your tongue and throat.

Then, what kind of sugar is there in the coffee so that we can feel sweet?
