How wasteful.
Coffee brewers that have a hot plate under the carafe will burn and ruin coffee. The best method of keeping coffee fresh is to keep it in a sealed container (like a double walled carafe with a lid)
Microwaving coffee is actually a pretty decent way to re-heat it, but the taste will depend on how fresh it was kept prior
Burn and ruin? My god man, it’s veritable caffeine tarmac lining the intestines and pumping that blood like crazy. Taste bud plebs, the lot of them.
See, I like to actually enjoy myself sometimes, instead of just hating the world
And part of that enjoyment is good coffee. Fresh, locally roasted coffee, that I grind fresh each morning. I either take it black, or with a splash of milk, depending on my mood
Drip brewers are perfectly fine, so long as you don't use the hot plate. But the biggest impact on coffee flavor is the freshness of both the roast and the grind
Came here to say the same. Microwaving coffee is awful.
It's a liquid, it's not going to lose its crunchyness.
I put creamer in my coffee, no way in hell I'm microwaving my coffee with creamer. It's gross.
I usually use milk and it's fine, how does creamer compare?
I wouldn't microwave milk either. It just ruins the taste of the coffee microwaving it.
The problem with microwaving coffee is the fact that coffee goes rancid after heat or sitting out.
Bingo
This is the way.
But I like it burned and ancient. Seriously. Used to go round the office and dunk all the dredges in my tumbler, dump 1/8 cup of sugar in there, ice it down.
Yes your horrified, yes I got fat.
Microwave coffee. It's fine, you'll be fine.
Can confirm, we have been doing it for at least half a year now. Why? Lazyness. And it doesn't taste noticeably worse imho.
Chef Mike hard at work.
Wait a minute, where did this coffee come from?
You're welcome.
Did we have teleportation devices in our homes all this time?
Incorrect.
It's right next to me.
Now let’s talk about your choice in cameras.
Put the foot down on your camera if you're going to leave it open. Not for any technical reason, it just looks better. Or don't I guess if you like it that way.
A mug on a plate is not interchangeable, conceptually, with a teacup and saucer. Even ones decorated in a rather fetching Wedgewood-esque style.
Saving this so I can send it to my dad every time he leaves his coffee in the microwave (he does this often).
You got anymore of them pixels?
My wife is like an alcoholic leaving half-drunk beers all over the house. I dump them into my own cup, nuke it.
You were almost right, I forgot I made coffee an hour ago but too late I already noticed it
Who the hell microwaves their coffee?!?!
Like hell it is!
Jokes on you, I don't drink coffee
