How long would you let brewed coffee set around before you wouldn`t reheat and drink it?

Not sure to be honest.  I'm an instant coffee man myself.  Probably once it got cold, I wouldn't reheat it.

I don't like coffee, i'm hyper enough as is

It would evaporate first. That's why Gawd invented microwave ovens.

I like coffee.

I like good coffee a lot... I buy beautiful espresso roast beans, grind it at home, only use filtered water and keep my machine(s) clean inside and out.

With that said, I sometimes make a full pot on purpose, even though I can only manage to quaff a third of it with breakfast. The rest I let come down to merely warm, and then put it in a covered glass container, to be enjoyed over the next day or two, either reheated in the microwave or over ice. It always seems to taste just fine to me.

Coffee rarely sits around long enough (in a cup, at room temperature) for me to worry about whether it's ok to reheat. But God gave us all immune systems, so if it's not moldy, I'd say go ahead and reheat it.

Nice to know. I`ve always been squeamish about day old coffee.

Pal interjects: if you've put actual milk or cream in it AND let it sit out at room temperature all day, THEN I'd toss it (even though you're probably safe). If it's got dairy in it, just put it in the fridge sooner.

Its my drug of choice.  You can keep cocaine, but make me go a day without some coffee and I get the bends...

WAIT A MINUTE! Nobody mentioned those perverts who put milk, cream, or white-colored "product" into the coffee. YECCCCH!

If I want to drink milk, I'll drink milk. But when I drink coffee, I drink coffee, not a coffee-flavored milk drink!

So do I, Pal, except no filtered water. Every year I read that long report that Seattle Public Utilities sends me about the purity of my tap water.

Yes, yes. That's why Gawd invented microwaves!

Yes, part of that comes from the biology I took in college. Coffee works as an anti-bacterial about as well as dilute hydrogen peroxide. Truly, it will kill most anything that falls in. I do admit that the couple of times I left it long enough for mold to grow on top, I threw it out and made a new pot.

Many years ago I worked at a smallish office for a company.  It was a Monday morning, and I was the second one in.  My co-worker was already face-down in paperwork.

I staggered into the break room and saw a pot of coffee there.  It was maybe half-full or so.  I poured, added the usual stuff, and took a sip.

I almost spat it.

I asked my co-worker whether he thought anything odd about the morning coffee he'd made.  He said "What coffee?  I didn't make any coffee this morning."

*ponder*

I had had coffee which had sat there all weekend long. 

Granted, it was the right temperature.  It just tasted all kinds of wrong.

I love the smell of coffee, I just can't stand the taste. Tea is my drink of choice, hot or iced.

[solvegas]

I've never liked the taste of coffee unless I put enough sugar and milk to kill the taste so I don't bother. Just never agreed with me. I like unsweetened ice tea ( british think ice tea is sacriligeous ). My favorite morning drink is milk and/or V-8 juice.

[Hiram]

I'm just having my first cup of the day, I feel like a druggy getting his fix.

[MaxBigfoot]

I usually make a pot, drink half of it, then set the timer for it to reheat on the coffee maker warmer plate for the next morning.  I finish the pot the next day.  It tastes a little different, but it's still drinkable. 

I switched from regular coffee to decaf about 3 months ago, but for some reason I still crave my morning coffee.  Maybe caffeine isn't the only addictive substance in it?

Wow I truer coffee clientèle than me. Hey- you ever mike ice coffee where you grind up the beans (as usual) and bundle it up in a few coffee filters (much like a tea bag). Then let it sit over night in a pitcher in the fridge.

Pure delight- very little bitterness.
