I've found that I literally never - NEVER - finish my cup of coffee in the morning before it gets cold. I always find myself putting the coffee down to do other things. When I'm at work, it's not worth the ~5 minute walk to get to the microwave to reheat it. Even during work days at home, I usually don't bother. I've taken to saving the cold coffee and using it for a mixed drink later in the day.

I've never been someone to just sit and enjoy my coffee - with or without food - without also doing something else. Even stopping to read (which, yes, I sometimes do) means I'm putting down the coffee.

Or, maybe my 12 ounces of coffee is too much? Having an espresso would solve that problem. :laugh:
 
I wanted to say sometimes (yup, I know, I'm awkward). I voted 'rarely' as that fits best with the days coffee drinking
I like hot coffee, but often get sidetracked / distracted and forget it for a while, but that's ok as I like cold coffee too. In summer I often have a coffee milkshake at breakfast time 😋
I probably drink about 70% of my coffees as half cold :giggle:
 
I pretty much never finish mine before it gets cold and don't want to get up to heat it; I'll get distracted by the time I get to the microwave...

So, I have one of these things. Set it for the type of mug, how long, how hot, and that works. It remembers the last setting so I just turn it on and all good!

I used to have a primitive coffee warmer, the type that only had one setting, and wouldn’t shut off until you unplugged it or until it shorted out and burned the building down. Either way, your coffee stayed hot.

What brand is the one you have?

Always have my tea and coffee hot.
Making a cup of mug of something for me means 🎵 everything stops for tea 🎵

This is how I always envision "enjoying a cup of coffee" to be. Maybe, when I'm 90 and finally retired, I'll be able to do that. :laugh:

You could just make the time now, everyone deserves 30 mins or so to gather their thoughts before getting stuck into the day.

I always make the tea or coffee for both of us. More often than not, MrsT will say it’s too hot, let it cool down, then forget about it, and two hours later, she’s at the microwave, heating it back up, then it’s too hot again, and the whole thing starts over. I’ve taken to reminding her, “Drink your coffee!”
