Be careful what you wish for

A couple of weeks ago many a New Englander could be heard moaning about the incessant, unspringlike cold and rain. We got what we wished for, several straight days of 90F!

I'm making iced coffee. You start by brewing a pot of strong coffee and cooling it to room temp. Putting the hot coffee directly in the fridge seems like a bad idea. It would probably warm everything around it and drive up my electricity bill. How about...

Make sense? A saucepot's job is to suck heat away from a source, it's just that now we've turned things upside-down. I guess a water bath would be even better, but I don't want to risk shattering the glass.
