People in this thread are acting like microwaving coffee turns it into vinegar.
Coffee tastes absolutely fine reheated in the microwave.
Yup, can confirm. Sometimes I forget to finish my coffee too. James Hoffman on youtube did some testing and he agrees that microwave is perfectly fine and might even be the best method to reheat coffee
Is it the nocebo effect and filthy microwave interior leeching pizza roll flavor into my coffee? No, it’s the micro-wavelengths vibrating water molecules who are to blame!
Reheating coffee doesn’t make it bad, be it in the microwave, on the stove or hot plate. Not finishing your coffee and letting it get cold just to reheat it later definitely makes it worse.
This is not something subjective, oxidation is very real. If you don’t believe me, peel an apple and let it sit for the same amount of time as you let your coffee sit and then you will see the effects.
When you brew coffee you extract all these oils and goodies from the beans thst have been protected by the antioxidants and expose them to air. While they will not turn to vinegar, they do oxidize and therefore degrade quite rapidly.
TIL coffee can react with air too
So do we! By slowly dying. Hooray!
Yes but have you considered that we are all philistines who need our fast juice
If you want some decent quality coffee fast, you can tryan automatic espresso machine. It’s not gonna be cheap, but it will surely deliver something vastly superior to any reheated coffee

I imagine this is what plays when you put the cup slightly off center on the microwave turntable so it starts drifting in wide circles when you turn it on.
The em waves in a microwave are standing waves, meaning energy is deposited in the food only on some spots, and the spots remain static as the microwave is running. Therefore, positioning food to the outside of the tray will make it move through these spots more vs if it was only rotating at the center.
Tldr drift your food for maximum heat distribution.
Seems plausible: the wavelength is in a good size range for such an effect to be noticeable.
I found that in a typical microwave oven, the frequency is about 2450 MHz. Using the formula, velocity = frequency × wavelength and knowing that the velocity of an electromagnetic wave is about 3.0 × 108 m/s, gives a wavelength of about 12 cm.
Same thing happens in chemical mixing in a vat. You want it off center. I might have a diagram in one of my old textbooks if you want.
Maybe that’s a sign to make less coffee, bruv
or have less adhd
I’m trying to, every damn day
Honestly, I’m not a doctor or nothing but I’d, personally, have none, if you can help it. YMMV
Can I keep the therapy sessions and legal speed, though?
Hmmm.
No.
Nah more, if he keeps forgetting them

Ok, we suck at coffee. I get it.
But we brew good beer! Lots of it! There’s an independent brewery on every corner! Soon they’ll outnumber the Starbucks’s!
Some of them are even starting to do spiked seltzer and booch! That’s a whole new level of brewing…that’s brewing life itself!
First of all, brew as in use hot water to extract flavour from something.
Secondly, APAs and the like are not beer, they’re hops based lemonade.
Thirdly, every country has some independent thing doing some artisan craft; but as a group, you guys suck at this.
I always did hate group projects
Every brewery I’ve ever been to has had a variety of styles and often their flagship brew isn’t even an xPA.
Also the typical brewing range for beer is between 40-70 degrees Freedom. There’s a lot of heat in that as far as atoms are concerned.
Every brewery I’ve ever been to has had a variety of styles and often their flagship brew isn’t even an xPA.
and yet you flood every market and memesphere with shitty IPAs/APAs. It’s a joke friend, just take your fucking lumps and don’t um actually the place. I’m sure you have 3 good beers in a brewery that sells 30 types of beer, meanwhile other countries have less brewereies making fewer variants of beer, but most of them are good and different kinds of bere.
That’s probably because most European countries have deep cultural and culinary roots in their modern beers.
America being a relative newcomer country of immigrants, we as a country have very few cultural or culinary roots of our own. So we borrow, and innovate, and ultimately have to appeal to a very large variety of individuals who have their own preferences, inspired by their own cultures.
wow, that’s a great point, how old is your country? 250 years? And you say it’s made mostly of people who claim to have heritage from british isles and germany, places famous for brewing beer?
Wow, it’s incredible that none of those people that stole the land from the natives didn’t know how to properly brew beer, and in 250 years you didn’t manage to develop a respectable beer culture.
But you know, cut throat capitalism and being the world leader of motion picture and music propaganda, you got in one. Bravo.
EDIT : also, LEARN TO BREW TEA AND COFFEE WITHOUT A MICROWAVE YOU SAVAGES.
Who the hell is brewing coffee in the microwave? Maybe boiling water for instant…but even people who drink instant know that that’s not coffee.
I use an electric kettle like most of the civilized world. And I cold brew my coffee.
But even aside from that…the varieties that you see around Europe are closely correlated to the types of grains and hops and in some cases wild yeast that was available to them. We brought most of that over with us and grew it here. Native crops just don’t offer much. Nobodies drinking corn wine.
Also, distilled spirits are the far more interesting fight. We do that pretty damn good, and a lot of that spawned out of a few short years of prohibition. Or talk to us about cider and peach wine.
U S A!

You think Americans are bad, you should see what NileRed does to coffee.
People are heating up coffee in microwave? TIL.
I swear this ruins the coffee
Instead of reheating it, put a little ice in it and call it an iced coffee.
It definitely tastes worse but I think it’s still fine. Also it’s partly a punishment from having forgotten to drink it in the first place 😔
You don’t have to punish yourself for forgetting something! You deserve nothing of the sort.
Don’t kink shame me
Ice coffee is not the same vibe as hot coffee at all. I can drink hot coffee black, for instance, but I need sugar in ice coffee.
I mean how else would you reheat a cold coffee?
You wouldn’t. You’d make new coffee. Not trying to be condescending. I literally wouldn’t reheat coffee because if it’s been standing long enough to get cold, it no longer tastes good.
I don’t think what you said was condescending, it just sounds wasteful to me tbh. I’m not throwing it away just because it got cold and it doesn’t taste fresh anymore.
People do shit like that but then they bought the brown coffee filters instead of the white ones so they’re still saving the environment 🙄
It’s about creating less waste for me and not really about saving the environment. I just don’t like to be wasteful.
It was a general comment on the duality of people’s attitudes towards environmentalism. Didn’t really mean to aim it at you specifically.
Oh, my bad.
Ah, so it’s a sort of punishment for yourself for not drinking it while it was hot? You made it, so now by god you’ll drink it? Maybe invest in an insulated cup or thermos then. 😂
Not really, it would just feel like unnecessary waste. Though I did make a comment about punishment as a joke.

Nah that’s just adhd
The number of times I find a piece of candy, a snack, or a can of soda in my pocket because “I’m gonna want this…just not right now” happened at some point earlier in the day is too damn high.
That’s what the machines want us to think.
I’m the same but not with coffee. I better drink it cold that rewarm. Everyone knows that “café bouillu, café foutu.”
You know it’s possible to heat it up without boiling it.
But it still tastes worse after heating up. That’s why dump hot chocolate mix in, like a real connoisseur!
You have to warm it very slowly. It’s pretty much impossible with a microwave but not with a saucepan.
I might try you chocolate trick one day. What do you mean by chocolate mix? The kind you add in milk to make chocolate milk?

You’re caught in a recursive loop.
