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!
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
Nah more, if he keeps forgetting them

You think Americans are bad, you should see what NileRed does to coffee.
People are heating up coffee in microwave? TIL.
A drink needs reheating so they use a convenient household equipment to reheat it. How controversial. How sacrilegious.

Who said it was instant coffee? And there might also be milk. Why waste perfectly good 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.
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.

I think Americans boil their water in the microwave.

Because there’s no temperature control and it can explode.
My kettle will heat water consistently to boiling point every time without going over.
It really takes some very special conditions for that to happen. Every time I’ve boiled water in the microwave it’s always boiled fine just like on the stove.
It takes leaving it in a bit too long and either moving or adding something to your water, it’s not that difficult.
Third-degree burns aren’t something I’d really want to risk just for some coffee.

Turns Out, America Only Just Discovered The Electric Kettle & The Internet Is Going Wild
I remember this sweep over the internet. Considering the speed and simplicity of kettles for decades, what a weird thing to see of Americans. Especially since they made the first one ever.
Historically kettles never really caught on because we only have 110v power, so our kettles are bogus compared to nearly everywhere else in the world.

I have to believe it’s also the popularity. Maybe it’s too much my own experience but:
- most people drink coffee
- tea drinkers historically didn’t have a high end
Maybe I’m not sure how to phrase it but in my lifetime, coffee went from hideous burnt crap to something where we care about a high end. Coffee in general has gotten much better, there are way more choices, and there is a visible niche of people who spend way too much time and money looking for the perfect brew.
In the US, tea is following this path, but much later. Most of my life tea drinkers may have argue over the best brand of tea bags, but it was the same old swill their Moms may have used (they may disagree with that characterization). It’s only much more recently that tea in the US has become a “thing” something people pay attention to, something with a “high end”. At the grocery, tea choices are not as wide as coffee, but now you have a much greater variety of brands, sources, flavors, preparation methods. Tea is only in recent years enough of a “thing” to get excited over, pay too much time and attention to.
Or in my house, I don’t understand my teenagers and their weird tea drinking ways, when I have three different ways of making coffee. However this kettle thing is great for hot chocolate and caffe mocha
Plus they were boring and plain, who wants that in a kitchen. Now we have glass and chrome, cool electronics, blue LEDs, phone apps
Oooh. That actually makes a lot of sense.
Your linked article even says this
You actually read it? I doubt any of us did. It’s Marie Claire too; you really didn’t have to.
Maybe some use the microwave, but most Americans have a stovetop kettle. I use an electric kettle myself.
Yes and that’s why they’re so fat
They don’t even know about diet water.
this is why some never stop beeping until you open them.
Glitch in the matrix.
Java does garbage collection, but not for OP.
I do this more often than I’d like to admit.
You’re caught in a recursive loop.
Matrix glitched
Wow OP is in a rut
Sounds like the sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine.
As someone with a very addictive personality, I cannot imagine doing this.

I’m amazed at this person being amazed at having two identical cups. Who even does that, who buys multiple cups that match… /s
