I've been living in Vietnam for about a year and a half now, and iced is almost always the way to go here. Bạc Xỉu is my jam forever. If you can find a Vietnamese coffee shop in your area, I'd highly recommend it. Bonus points if they are using Vietnamese Robusta beans instead of Arabica.

tastes horrible either way lol
whatever is in reach.
Depends on the day and the mood really, but mostly hot.
iced I don't like hot drinks I can't tolerate them
Espresso is my go to at work, but I also don't have any form of coffee at home. I've some fancy Oolong and Pu'er but no coffee, since that would involve buying an espresso machine and that's bourgeoisie. But if I did have coffee at home, I'd probably opt for cold brew simply because I can prepare it ahead of time.
But, if you've ever arrived to work still drunk on a Sunday morning for the brunch shift, 2 shots of espresso pair well with a cigarette. Really preps you mentally for the onslaught of white folk arriving after church and changing things on the menu just to feel powerful.
Just still buzzed on alcohol, noticeable heartbeat from the lack of sleep and double strength espresso, making bruschetta and salads on auto pilot for people who still dress fancy for church. Contemplating whether or not you should message the girl that cheered the loudest when you drunkenly yelled "Free Palestine" in someone's living room while you were 11 shots deep the night before.
Actually, shit sucks, I'm romanticizing it too much.
