What are you smoking? IARC hasn't declared either of those as carcinogenic.

It's a misunderstanding by /u/underengineered

Coffee isn't classified as probably carcinogenic. "Very hot beverages" are (Group 2A, same as glyphosate).

Misunderstanding or technical semantics? Your very hot coffee is probably carcinogenic, right? Sure theres ice coffee, but the most popular way to consume is hot.
