title_body: Does room temperature matter when dripping?
upvoted_answer: I would say that room temperature can have an affect on the final outcome of your coffee if the room your in is cold enough. Probably not so much if your sitting in a warm room. 
  
  I say this because to get a full extraction from your coffee, your water should be between 90°C - 96°C and being in a cold environment can cool that water rather quickly.
  
  If you're interested in calculating the speed at which water cools, here is some "light" reading that goes over newton's law of cooling if you're interested: http://stanwagon.com/public/evaporationportmannwagonmier.pdf
  
  Not sure what the ideal room temperature would be though. I would guess one that would allow your water to stay hot enough for the whole brew time.
