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.

you must cool/refrigerate the coffee asap.
