How long do you let coffee sit around until you drink it?
No coffee seems to sit around more than 24 hours in my house until somebody drinks it. Usually it gets refrigerated after about 12 to 18 hours. But sometimes it will sit in the coffee maker for 24 hours.

I have never in my almost 36 years on this planet had coffee.

Well, technically speaking, coffee will lose it's natural flavors within minutes of brewing.
If you're drinking the expensive stuff like what you get from independent roasting companies, you need to drink it right after brewing. Especially if you're drinking it straight up black and not adding cream and sugar.
However, if you drink the cheap stuff from grocery stores and you're adding cream and sugar, it really doesn't matter that much.
Plus, whole bean coffee is best for freshness. After coffee is ground it will start to lose it's natural flavors too. In fact, coffee, whether it's whole bean or ground will only last about 3-4 weeks, by that time, the natural flavors created by the coffee beans themselves fade away. You're better off to grind them beans as you use it and its better to only buy freshly roasted coffee beans.

I used to drink a lot more coffee than I do, now. And, for me, both coffee and tea need to be strong, and without milk/cream, or sweeteners.
Before I retired, I could nurse a mug of coffee, from the office drip-maker, until the mug was empty. If I was particularly busy, and the coffee turned cold, that was fine with me. Now, I have a mug of strong tea in the morning, and the same holds true. Hot-to-cold ... I'm fine.
I have an old percolator which I only use, if I'm making coffee for guests. I wouldn't save anything that was left in the percolator, after my guests leave. For my own use, I repair to the corner deli, for a cup of their "drip." Again, I can nurse it until it's cold -- or until I'm tired of it.

Matter of fact, hot is the easiest. Than cold. Than room temperature. |
