True or "Old wives tale": Does the caffine go out of coffee if you put it in the microwave?!
True or "Old wives tale": Does the caffine go out of coffee if you put it in the microwave?
Somebody told me that they "heard" that a lot of people "said" that it DID go out. But could you provide me with any DOCUMENTATION or a link to show some research that proves that it really alters the caffine content measurably to "nuke" it in the microwave long enough to warm it up a minute or two?
I'd appreciate it! Thanks

Great answers, guys! Thanks! I did hope that I would hear some "scientific" jargon, but I always wondered why when it comes out hot and you put sugar in, it goes all over the place! Good enough for me! Thanks!
Answers:
If you microwave a cup of coffee enough times the water will evaporate and make the remaining liquid more concentrated with caffeine.
Warning: microwaving a cup of coffee for longer than a minute can be dangerous. The liquid may ''explode'' when you move the cup from the microwave. This may happen because while hot enough to boil, the bubbles are unable to form on a smooth surface (glass).
