People are heating up coffee in microwave? TIL.

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 60 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (12 children)

A drink needs reheating so they use a convenient household equipment to reheat it. How controversial. How sacrilegious.

I swear this ruins the coffee

Instead of reheating it, put a little ice in it and call it an iced coffee.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It definitely tastes worse but I think it's still fine. Also it's partly a punishment from having forgotten to drink it in the first place 😔

[–] cooltrainer_frank@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You don't have to punish yourself for forgetting something! You deserve nothing of the sort.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Don't kink shame me

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ice coffee is not the same vibe as hot coffee at all. I can drink hot coffee black, for instance, but I need sugar in ice coffee.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Try maple syrup in the iced coffee, total game changer! It's pretty much the only way I drink it now.

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know if this was supposed to be a rebuttal or if you're just sharing what you like in your coffee, but maple syrup is literally sugar.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not a rebuttal, just saying if someone needs sugar in their iced coffee that maple syrup is a really good option

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Gotcha, personally I don't like it as I find it takes on a burnt flavor. I love maple syrup on lots of other things though.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Still not the same vibe as hot coffee, but I’ve never thought of maple syrup in coffee. Sounds tasty!

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean how else would you reheat a cold coffee?

[–] aulin@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You wouldn't. You'd make new coffee. Not trying to be condescending. I literally wouldn't reheat coffee because if it's been standing long enough to get cold, it no longer tastes good.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

I don't think what you said was condescending, it just sounds wasteful to me tbh. I'm not throwing it away just because it got cold and it doesn't taste fresh anymore.

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

People do shit like that but then they bought the brown coffee filters instead of the white ones so they're still saving the environment 🙄

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's about creating less waste for me and not really about saving the environment. I just don't like to be wasteful.

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was a general comment on the duality of people's attitudes towards environmentalism. Didn't really mean to aim it at you specifically.

I think Americans boil their water in the microwave.

Turns Out, America Only Just Discovered The Electric Kettle & The Internet Is Going Wild

I remember this sweep over the internet. Considering the speed and simplicity of kettles for decades, what a weird thing to see of Americans. Especially since they made the first one ever.

[–] Gordon@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (7 children)

Historically kettles never really caught on because we only have 110v power, so our kettles are bogus compared to nearly everywhere else in the world.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I have to believe it’s also the popularity. Maybe it’s too much my own experience but:

  • most people drink coffee
  • tea drinkers historically didn’t have a high end

Maybe I’m not sure how to phrase it but in my lifetime, coffee went from hideous burnt crap to something where we care about a high end. Coffee in general has gotten much better, there are way more choices, and there is a visible niche of people who spend way too much time and money looking for the perfect brew.

In the US, tea is following this path, but much later. Most of my life tea drinkers may have argue over the best brand of tea bags, but it was the same old swill their Moms may have used (they may disagree with that characterization). It’s only much more recently that tea in the US has become a “thing” something people pay attention to, something with a “high end”. At the grocery, tea choices are not as wide as coffee, but now you have a much greater variety of brands, sources, flavors, preparation methods. Tea is only in recent years enough of a “thing” to get excited over, pay too much time and attention to.

Or in my house, I don’t understand my teenagers and their weird tea drinking ways, when I have three different ways of making coffee. However this kettle thing is great for hot chocolate and caffe mocha

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Plus they were boring and plain, who wants that in a kitchen. Now we have glass and chrome, cool electronics, blue LEDs, phone apps

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

That demonstrates a fundamental ignorance of how electricity works.

Voltage is only half the power equation. The other half is current. Power = voltage x current

So if a kettle on 110V can draw twice the current, it will have exactly the same amount of power and will heat the water in exactly the same amount of time as a kettle on 220V that draws half the current.

Maybe some use the microwave, but most Americans have a stovetop kettle. I use an electric kettle myself.

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 10 months ago

I mean if you don't have a kettle, it's a fine way of accomplishing the task.

And if you don't have a microwave?

a) what are you doing with your life? You're missing out!

b) the stove top is the next option.

If you don't have a stove top?

a) ok, now you're most likely living rough. Sorry bro.

b) light a campfire. If you also don't have a pot, go get one, or use some other heatproof container.
