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!
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.
If you want some decent quality coffee fast, you can tryan automatic espresso machine. It’s not gonna be cheap, but it will surely deliver something vastly superior to any reheated coffee
People in this thread are acting like microwaving coffee turns it into vinegar.
Coffee tastes absolutely fine reheated in the microwave.

TIL coffee can react with air too
So do we! By slowly dying. Hooray!
Yes but have you considered that we are all philistines who need our fast juice

No it does not. Unless it tasted like shit to begin with.
