Copper has a high thermal conductivity. Thus, it quickly absorbs heat from a hotter body and loses heat to a colder body . Consequently, copper does not hold heat well when in contact with a colder object.

What bonds hold copper together?

Copper atoms are held together by metallic bonds, where the outer electrons of each atom are free to move between the atoms, creating a "sea" of delocalized electrons that hold the structure together. This allows copper to conduct heat and electricity very well.
