Depends on the specific coffee or beer. Extreme temperatures dull our sense of flavour, so a shitty coffee can taste fine if its very hot, or a crappy beer can taste fine if it's super cold. This is why Coors Light ads are hilarious. They focus on the cold because it's a requirement to make it drinkable, and there's nothing else good they could say about it without lying.

Yeah, that's definitely true, espresso shots can be pretty ass at room temperature and you need to get through the bitter foam while it's still hot. I feel the beer one specifically is an acquired taste, at first I felt too exposed to the beer taste but now I enjoy it, to me a shit beer tastes both bad cold and room temp.

Special case for beer is around 35C (100F) it becomes kinda weird IMO.
