      You make coffee, go to your desk again and start working. After an hour you notice your mug standing there… What now, throwing it away or reheating it?

      How the fuck else would you reheat your coffee?

      You put it on the stove top or something?

      Or let me guess. You’ll toss it and make a whole new cup of it…so wasteful

        You drink it cold. You know reheating costs electricity too? I think it would be more effective to redo that than reheat it in the microwave.

        If you are so forgetfull that you dont even drink your coffee after 30 minutes of making it, i recommend you should not do coffee at all.

          Why would I drink it cold when I can just put it in the microwave for a minute?

          Do you drink hot chocolate cold too? Weird.

            Then it would taste weird, as it already cooled down. And yes, because i am not a weirdo that just microwaves everything that is cold.

            Is your butter cold? Microwave it! Is your stake cold and uncooked? Microwave it!

            This is how it sounds to me.

              Sounds like you lack culinary education to me. The fact you think all of these things are equivalent is a dead give away.

              There is a big difference between enjoying warm brewed coffee and drinking it at a hot temperature vs cooking a steak in the microwave.

              Butter is supposed to be “cold” but if you plan to bake a cake it makes perfectly good sense for it to be at room temperature. Nothing wrong with putting it in the microwave at a low setting for a few seconds to bring it up to room temperature. Otherwise if you don’t the butter will have a difficult time incorporating into the dry ingredients which will substantially change the texture of the cake.

              I am sorry that your parents failed you.

                Or you just put it out few minutes before using the butter. Wow i thought you were better in cooking, or did your mother not teached you how to cook? You probably bake the cake you mentioned in your microwave.

                I hope you didnt tried to microwave a fork, so its warm for your hands.

          Brewing a smaller quantity of coffee could also be beneficial.

          But really we’re talking about such small amounts of energy and coffee in the grander scheme of things it’s pretty inconsequential

      Yeah, they also have these machines that just keeps coffee warm in a pot all day long.

      But people also call that soluble garbage coffee, so who knows.

      Microwaving is the best way to reheat coffee. If you’re careful enough to not overheat it and burn it, it’s good.

        Just the word reheating makes me throw up. I am not that sort of coffee junky that needs to reheat cold coffee, just chug it up or throw it away. Dont waste electricity for that.

          Lol what? People like their coffee hot. Lukewarm coffee is just bleh. I’m personally also talking about black coffee, nothing else added to it. If you made coffee, and it gets cold in like an hour, then why would it be weird to heat it up? A lot more wasteful to throw out coffee than to use the microwave for 15 seconds.
