Alternatively, drop it into Mathematica with manipulate. Manipulate[ { sols = NDSolve[{ D[Temp[t], t] == -0.1 (Temp[t] - ambient), Temp[0] == beginTemp, WhenEvent[ t > addMilk, Temp[t] -> (coffeeTemp[t] + milkmilkTemp)/(coffee + milk)]}, Temp, {t, 0, experimentTime} ]; Plot[ Temp[t] /. sols, {t, 0, experimentTime}, PlotRange -> {{0, experimentTime}, {0, beginTemp + 10}}, AxesLabel -> {"Time (minutes)", "Temperature ?C"}, LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, Medium], ImageSize -> {{400, 600}}] }, {{ambient, 20, "Ambient temperature"}, 0, 30, 0.5, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{experimentTime, 30, "Time of Experiement(minutes)"}, 1, 100, 0.5, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{beginTemp, 80, "Coffee start temperature"}, 50, 100, 0.5, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{milkTemp, 5, "Milk start temperature"}, 1, ambient, 0.5, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{addMilk, 1, "Time to add milk(minutes)"}, 1, 100, 1, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{coffee, 200, "Coffee volume (ml)"}, 100, 500, 10, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{milk, 20, "Milk volume (ml)"}, 0, 50, 5, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, ControlPlacement -> Left ]

Alternatively, drop it into Mathematica with manipulate.

Manipulate[
 {
  sols = NDSolve[{
     D[Temp[t], t] == -0.1 (Temp[t] - ambient),
     Temp[0] == beginTemp,
     WhenEvent[
      t > addMilk,
      Temp[t] -> (coffee*Temp[t] + milk*milkTemp)/(coffee + milk)]},
    Temp,
    {t, 0, experimentTime}
    ];
  Plot[
   Temp[t] /. sols, {t, 0, experimentTime},
   PlotRange -> {{0, experimentTime}, {0, beginTemp + 10}},
   AxesLabel -> {"Time (minutes)", "Temperature  ?C"},
   LabelStyle -> Directive[Bold, Medium],
   ImageSize -> {{400, 600}}]
  },
 {{ambient, 20, "Ambient temperature"}, 0, 30, 0.5, 
  Appearance -> "Labeled"},
 {{experimentTime, 30, "Time of Experiement(minutes)"}, 1, 100, 0.5, 
  Appearance -> "Labeled"},
 {{beginTemp, 80, "Coffee start temperature"}, 50, 100, 0.5,

Hi - we really enjoyed your modeling of coffee cooling et al. We invite you to consider writing up a Modeling Scenario for use by students who use materials from SIMIODE at www.simiode.org - a FREE source of modeling scenarios for teaching and learning differential equations through the use of modeling and technology. We suggest offering up two versions, Student Version in which you state the modeling situation and ask students questions while making modeling activities for them and Teacher Version in which you do, much like you do here, offer ideas and extensions on solution strategies. You can see how to do this at https://www.simiode.org/about-peer-review where we offer a double-blind, peer-reviewed system for online publication at www.simiode.org. Thank you.
