Do you reheat coffee?

Having come across this life changing dilemma this evening with my cold Starbucks Americano, I’d like to know what other people would do in this case?
FYI I’ll be blasting mine in the microwave regardless of taste, I need that there caffeine

Do you reheat coffee?

  • Only if it’s black
  • On the hob to protect the flavour
  • Yes!! Microwave is A-Ok!
  • Coffee is gross
  • Get away from me you heathen

I like hot coffee.
I get one cup a day.
I microwave it once to keep it hot and enjoy the hell out of it.

Many variables to this. If it’s a good espresso beverage I will put it on ice to save the flavor. If I’m drinking standard ole drip I’ll microwave if necessary. Usually I’ll just top with more fresh hot from the pot tho or my cup is empty before I even know what’s happening.

Before I gave up coffee ( :sob: ) I would get locally roasted (light roast, and air roasted) beans in small batches. I would freshly ground them every morning and brew in small batches because anything in the pot after an hour got dumped because it wasn’t fresh anymore. So if I had coffee that actually sat around long enough to go cold, there was no way in hell it was getting microwaved.

I was the very definition of coffee snob :laughing:

(On the flipside, I have a friend who will leave her coffee in the pot overnight if any is left, then just reheat it in the morning.

She’s a monster :rofl: )

I shall join you in being a coffee snob. Ever since we found the nespresso machine all other coffee is just not up to par.
And for the vote my coffee normally doesn’t have a chance to get cold :joy:

She’s not interested in ever having an intimate partner, so that’s not an issue. Though she does have a platonic lifemate (who is a tea drinker and not a coffee drinker) that thinks it’s just as disgusting as I do. :laughing: We have great fun joking about it all as my coffee friend thinks I’m pretentious and wasteful if I dump any coffee at all.

I used to be in the commercial coffee/beverage services business. Been trained by the best roasters out there. Little boutique and big international roasters. I am as passionate about coffee today, as I was about wine in my drinking days.

With all that said: Don’t reheat coffee. If it’s gone cold and you don’t want to waste it, chill it and drink it iced.

Reheated coffee is just plain nasty, in my humble (and qualified) opinion.

She needs help. Please find a few barristas and attempt an intervention.

This is a wise suggestion. It’s so hard when people don’t know that they need help. But that’s what true friends are for :laughing:

This 100000%

If your coffee goes cold your doing something wrong.

You don’t reheat coffee, you destroyed it’s proper flavor and are now drinking colored water

Reheated coffee is like reheated French fries (chips to our UK folk)…

Don’t know if on the hob saves the flavor, but I don’t have a microwave… usuallyI make it fresh though! :sweat_smile:
