It comes down to the brewing cycle and the water's exposure to the coffee while at the perfect temperature. And cold tap water is fresher than hot tap water because it hasn't been sitting in a water heater waiting to be dispensed from the tap. Better water makes better coffee so this is also very believable.

ExplainerShould I use cold water to make coffee?
Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction. Colder water will result in flat, under-extracted coffee, while water that is too hot will also cause a loss of quality in the taste of the coffee. (However, cold brew does not need any heat.)

ExplainerWhy is it better to use cold water to boil?
Cold water boils faster than hot water. There is, however, a good reason to use cold water instead of hot for cooking: hot water will contain more dissolved minerals from your pipes, which can give your food an off-flavor, particularly if you reduce the water a lot.

ExplainerWhat happens if you put pasta in water before it boils?
Explanation or Science of Boiling Water: Pasta added to water before it starts to boil gets a heat start on mushiness. Pasta quickly begins to break down in tepid water as the starch dissolves. You need the intense heat of boiling water to “set” the outside of the pasta, which prevents the pasta from sticking together.

ExplainerWhat happens if you put hot water in a coffee maker?
A good coffee maker heats the water to a specific temperature; starting with warmer water would reduce the energy and time required to do that, but probably not enough to be noticeable. A good coffee maker only heats the water to about 95 degrees Celsius, as heating it above that risks “burning” the coffee grounds.

In an automatic drip coffee maker, a measured amount of cold water is poured into a reservoir. Inside the reservoir, a heating element heats the water to boiling. The steam rises through a tube and condenses. The condensed water is distributed over the ground coffee in the filter through a device like a shower head.
