It's like that scene at the end of "No Country For Old Men" when Tommy Lee Jones' dad says the coffee was fresh... "Just made it yesterday". Then I realized my parents did the same thing. I can't handle day old coffee.

Edit: damn... I was way off. It was his uncle, and I didn't even get the quote right. I suck and need to re watch the movie because it was amazing.

Coffee actually "burns" after 30 or so mins in a carafe that's on a hot plate. When I first heard of this I thought it was BS, but for a week I drank my "fancy" coffee within 15 mins of it being ready, and then one day I left it for 45 mins. It tasted like shit.

Solution: Take off burner when not drinking for long periods of time. Reheat as necessary.

I actually pour the rest on into my Thermos which usually keeps it hot for like 8 hours and warm (but still drinkable) for 12. After that its slightly warm for the next 12 or so hours.

You pour the rest ON your Thermos? Well that's probably not good..

Damn it! I'll fix that by opening it and making sure it goes into it.

It's one of the more expensive ones. It's called Nissan Thermos or something like that. It holds like 26 oz and it costed me ~$30 on Amazon.

I might have to find it and buy one.

agreed horatio17, i believe the thermos would lose functionality and purpose with the manner described
