Does the coffee taste better if you turn the coffeemaker off after brewing?
The coffee seems to taste better if you switch off the coffeemaker immediately after brewing and warm future cups in a microwave. If the coffee just sits there with the coffeemaker on a thin oily film develops on top and the coffee starts turning to tar ruining its taste and upsetting the stomach. Also brew from freshly ground whole beans taste heavenly when compared to the pre-ground stuff. Even the water makes a difference, tap water almost always ruins the taste while bottled water creates a better taste. Am I imagining things or you have noticed it too? Whats your secret for the best coffee?

I am a diehard coffee drinker...I grind my own beans and always drink the whole pot...I used to have a mr coffee and by the time I got to my last cup, it was nasty.
I now own a Krups brewer with a thermal carafe. The coffeemaker turns off immediately after the brew cycle and the carafe keeps the coffee hot til the last drop. I remove the carafe from the brewer just so the grinds dont keep dripping into my fresh hot delicios coffee...that can make it bitter too !
Your not crazy, some people, like us, appreciate coffee on a different level.
i don't know but it is much better when it is warm. i thought you were going to say that you drink it cold.
I agree with you! Coffee left in the pot for any length of time starts to taste nasty. I have a thermal carafe I use. Right after the brewing is done I pour the fresh coffee into it and enjoy fresh coffee all morning. ;)
