Copper wire.
Reason: copper has a very high thermal conductivity, so it takes up heat from the warm surface and transfers it through its material much faster than foam, wood or plastic (which are good insulators). That fast heat transfer (and relatively low heat capacity per volume) means the copper heats up and feels hot quickest.
