You make coffee, go to your desk again and start working. After an hour you notice your mug standing there... What now, throwing it away or reheating it?
That's true, and if you use piss to brew something like Kopi Luwak you might create something completely new and exciting. Call it "#12" for a combination of #1 and #2.
Also, espresso-based coffee has a completely different taste from a standard drip or pour-over. It's unnecessarily complex machinery unless you really prefer that taste. I don't know why Italy is considered the standard for good coffee, instead of somewhere like...Ethiopia, maybe? It's like when France was still being considered the standard for the best wine when wine snobs would blind pick Californian or Australian wines over French ones for years.
Just the word reheating makes me throw up. I am not that sort of coffee junky that needs to reheat cold coffee, just chug it up or throw it away. Dont waste electricity for that.
Lol what? People like their coffee hot. Lukewarm coffee is just bleh. I'm personally also talking about black coffee, nothing else added to it. If you made coffee, and it gets cold in like an hour, then why would it be weird to heat it up? A lot more wasteful to throw out coffee than to use the microwave for 15 seconds.
Sounds like you lack culinary education to me. The fact you think all of these things are equivalent is a dead give away.
There is a big difference between enjoying warm brewed coffee and drinking it at a hot temperature vs cooking a steak in the microwave.
Butter is supposed to be “cold” but if you plan to bake a cake it makes perfectly good sense for it to be at room temperature. Nothing wrong with putting it in the microwave at a low setting for a few seconds to bring it up to room temperature. Otherwise if you don’t the butter will have a difficult time incorporating into the dry ingredients which will substantially change the texture of the cake.
Or you just put it out few minutes before using the butter. Wow i thought you were better in cooking, or did your mother not teached you how to cook? You probably bake the cake you mentioned in your microwave.
I hope you didnt tried to microwave a fork, so its warm for your hands.
