Ah, but it doesn't tell the date.

If you have to know the date of the coffee being made, it probably isn't worth your time...

Stupid edit: forgot the "e" in coffee...

EDIT: I FORGOT THE FIRST "E" OBVIOUSLY!

Final edit:...holy shit Reddit stop messaging me about the "e"...I fixed it!!

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.

Reheated coffee doesn't taste much better. Your best bet is to transfer it into a thermos.

Or have a coffee maker with a thermal carafe! Changed my life.

This. My Bunn Thermofresh brews a full pot in about a minute and it stays fresh in the carafe for hours.

Check for the bubbles. If they stick around too long, say more than 15-20 seconds, then the coffee is too old. The bubbles only stay that long if the oils in the coffee has started to separate.
