| Oct 18, 2021 at 22:51 | comment | added | Glen Yates | @FuzzyChef I assume OP means "unsafe" in the realm of a TCS food (Time/Temperature Controlled Safety) of which milk definitely is one. Putting cold milk into hot coffee would raise the temperature of the milk into the danger zone and plausibly, if left there long enough then bacteria could grow. But what must be remembered is that the safety of TCS foods depends on both time and temperature, so pouring cold milk into hot coffee should be safe as long as you drink it in a reasonable time. | |
| Oct 18, 2021 at 19:03 | comment | added | Clockwork | @CaveJohnson I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something like this: if you pour a hot beverage into a cup, then after emptying it you pour a cold one into the (now hot) cup, then it might crack or break because of the sudden temperature difference. | |
| Oct 18, 2021 at 18:13 | comment | added | Sneftel | @Clockwork There is no plausible mechanism for that which would be potentiated by adding cold milk to hot coffee. | |
| Oct 18, 2021 at 17:38 | comment | added | Cave Johnson | I've been told that eating/drinking two things with large temperature differences (i.e. ice cold water and hot soup) is detrimental to your teeth. But I haven't found anything online to support that. Perhaps that could also be what led to this question? | |

| Oct 17, 2021 at 20:18 | comment | added | Clockwork | @FuzzyChef The most likely result I could come across was the fact that some people have more trouble digesting milk, and mixing it with coffee makes it even heavier on the stomach, although for many others (like myself) it's not a problem. | |
