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
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.
Yes but have you considered that we are all philistines who need our fast juice
Déjà Brew
I didn’t drink from this cup before
Leaving it to cool
And I know it keeps happening
Calling you, caffeine is a mystery
Falling back asleep
It’s so hard when I try to wake up
Whooaaahh
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.
Maybe that’s a sign to make less coffee, bruv
Honestly, I’m not a doctor or nothing but I’d, personally, have none, if you can help it. YMMV

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.
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.
