if you just keep topping it up and microwaving it every so often, you can work on the same cup of coffee for weeks to months. weird oil slick and stained cup optional, but recommended.

cut back on your coffee consumption in one easy step! its like the moms with the giant wine glass that holds an entire bottle, but less conspicuous

I just get fresh coffee at work for free from the machine, but I did this with tea at home. Make one huge teapot and of course it'll be cold before I can finish it. Mash the Start button twice and the cup is nice and hot again.

microwaving cold coffee is fine. I don't think it really affects the taste.

microwaving cold coffee is cool, good, and tasty. just don't keep it warm before (ideally refrigerate), and heat it gently.

qirex posted:could someone please explain why british people think boiling water in the microwave is worse, somehow? slower and less energy efficient. also of course an electric kettle shuts off once the water boils. and for an extra $5 you can specify temperature and have it keep it at that temperature. like, microwave away, but it is not just "here's some obscure reasons", an electric kettle is *obviously* better.

qirex posted:do y'all have space kettles that work in 90 seconds? timed boiling 500 ml just now, kettle did it in 1 minute 49 seconds, microwave in 5 minutes 50 seconds. and, yeah, since if you do drink tea you'll probably pay the $5 for temperature control on the kettle, and tea is for sure better if you have *some* idea of the temperature (and the minutes you stand in front of the microwave staring at the water will not be a good method).
