How long is coffee good after it's made?!
Answers: Just curious, how long does coffee stay good once its been brewed?
The freshness of brewed coffee normally expires after 20 minutes when the liquid has been heated in a pot on a warmer. Freshness can be preserved for up to two hours in a vacuum air pot or thermos bottle.
Personally ..I find it tastes old ( burnt like ) after my first cup ( 1/2 hr or so )
Tim Hortons ( Worlds best coffee for some up in Canada where we drink ALOT of coffee) ) won't serve a pot of coffee thats more than 20 minutes old .
Preference is a big thing as well ... some may like really old coffee ...so that question is hard to answer in that sense:)
i have been know to make a pot of coffee in the morning and drink from the same pot later that night. i wouldnt try and drink it after the first day. it's not spoiled but it tends to taste funny.
few minutes... only when is hot....
I often brew a whole pot, and put the leftover in the fridge to re-heat over the next day or two. Don't think I've ever had any that I've kept beyond that length of time, but 2 days later, reheated in the microwave, it's always tasted just fine to me.
I usually re-heat a cup of yesterday's coffee to drink while I make today's, so the answer, at least in my house, is "about 24 hours."
(No, it doesn't taste as good as fresh, but it hasn't killed me yet.)
about a day is the longest ive gone .. make a full pot
and if im lazy.. reheat whats left the next morning...
I know there are some coffee "snobs" that say the flavor expires after a certain period...my coffee maker beeps when the coffee is supposed to expire. Well..I LOVE coffee but I suppose my "taste" just ain't that developed...first of all I love my coffee a lot hotter than my fancy coffee maker says it is supposed to get...so I promptly pour my cup and then set it in the microwave where I get it piping hot...and pretty much..I keep that coffee and reheat it til it is gone!!! Which is several hours...so I guess to bunches of coffee folks I am coffee "trash" but..I hate it for 'em...sure taste good to me!!!!!
Oh! and guess what else!! I like Maxwell House TONS better than nasty old Starbucks!!!!! it tastes so much smoother!!!
The key for coffee longevity is to not keep heating it - as a coffee maker with a warmer.
It's best to keep the coffee in a thermos or vacuum bottle.
After which, it keeps for a day or two.
I'm sure some coffee aficionados (snobs) are gasping right now.
Depends on the type and you.
Instant - as long as it is OK in temperature and not over a day (unless placed in a fridge).
Brewed - Better drink it within a few hours.
Properly done right with a good espresso machine - better to drink it in a few mintues for best effect.
5 minutes, once it is cold, it is stale, and not drinkable
That depends on where it is .... If it's kept on a burner, it's going to get burnt-tasting, and turn into sludge after an hour or so ..... If it's in a thermal pot, then mine stays as fresh and hot as when I made it for at least 8 hours! (Cuisinart that brews into thermal pot) .... Sometimes I'll refrigerate leftover coffee to make iced coffee with the next day, but I can't stand the taste of microwaved coffee (although my husband WILL do that).....
I work at Starbucks. Last night we did some retraining (for the new Pike Place that is coming out/new coffee methonds) and our hold time for a pot of coffee is now 30 minutes, which is awesome!
We tried coffees that had just been freshly brewed then after they had been sitting for 30 minutes. It's crazy, but there is a total difference! I still can't believe we were giving people coffee that had been sitting out for 30+ minutes. It doesn't last long!
