I make my coffee a cup at a time in a small French press. Hot enough if you steep it less than five minutes, don't add too much milk after pouring, and drink it fairly fast. But I drink some cups slowly, so sometimes I either throw the last half of the become-lukewarm-or-cooler coffee, or drink it, God help me.

I agree with OP, hot coffee is meant to be drunk hot, but I love a good iced coffee on aa hot day too.

No skin off my dick.

Good, because I wasn't wanting to do or enjoy your dick skin.

Coffee however, I loving love. I'm not as hardcore as some though... about any ground stuff will do, but whenever I have the option (e.g. most larger supermarkets) I buy Fair Trade organic.

I need to cut back because I wake up and drink 4 cups of drip to start feeling okay

I replaced some of mine with (caffeinated) diet cola... but don't take advice from a fellow addict, heheh,

The caffeine hit from an average cup of coffee or tea or glass of cola is about 4 hours. Drink 2 fast & you have about enough 'fuel' to go 8 hours.

But for people like me and probably you, who drink a lot of caffeinated beverages, caffeine 'tolerance' occurs, i.e. you need more for the same effect (than for a non-abuser, heheh). And since I drink these beverages typically 10 times a day or more,, I can drink coffee or cola around bedtime & it doesn't keep me awake. Though near bedtime if I want a coffee I usually make one with decaffeinated ground to be safe.

Another symptom of the abuse of this (comparitively mild) drug is withdrawal, I know I don't feel right until my first coffee du jour, and start to wane if I haven't had one for a few hours.
