Americans like their coffee much hotter than Europeans. In fact, McDonald's even served coffee so hot that it severely burned a woman and she had to seek medical care.
Personally, I think the Europeans have the right idea. Hot, but still easily drinkable. Some places that serve coffee, I either have to wait to drink it or add extra cold creamer to cool it down.
I use an insulated travel mug for my morning coffee. I drink only one cup per day, and I may take an hour or more to finish it. I'm not a fan of cold coffee.
Not only will you find that it tastes better because it has many ingredients illegal in Europe, it will also give you brain fog. I know from experience that the food hits better in the US. Disregarding human health, of course.

And I am one of 'em. I like my cup hot before I pour coffee into it and I like to keep it hot my nuking it when it gets luke warm. Always have, always will.

205° is the right temperature. It's going to cool to around 180° by the time you finish making it, then your cream or half & half is going to cool it down further to near sipping temps while you get settled.
I have a couple pounds I need to roast so I can alternate with tea.
