Your microwave is a time machine. Only explanation
I am just trying to process that people are heating up coffee in the microwave 😳
How do you heat up coffee?
Hey, it's you again.
I have no opinion on coffee temperature - I've never had a sample that I enjoyed, hot, cold or reheated - but my wife has the same problem depicted in the original post. I got her some rechargeable heated mugs and now her drinks stay warm for a lot longer.
I don't know whether this is considered preferable to microwaving, but it does seem more convenient.
How are you getting through the day without coffee? That's crazy.
My solution: have a single cup that you have to find and clean before you can have a fresh cup of coffee.
Also: don't be hard on yourself because of these things. It's how your brain works, it makes it you.
I do this for every kind of beverage, have a favorite exclusive of each of these:
-
beer glass
-
water bottle
-
coffee mug
-
whiskey glass
-
wine glass
It's nice just using and cleaning one for each of these instead of having glasses clutter the sink from every time I get thirsty and need a drink.

I just keep a thermal carafe on my desk so I can warm up my cup every 30 minutes. The fresh smell keeps me from forgetting.
I see a lot of adhd posts on Lemmy… all of which boil down to “normally I’d be a an asshole but I’m adhd so it’s a trait…”
This is the first that really seems quirky and unfortunate.
Great, two coffees for me to drink! I am such a nice person, I made my future self a present.
Great, two coffees for me to forget to drink! 🙃
Tomorrow me is gonna pretty stoked for triple-coffee day! Think about how much they're gonna get done!!!! (I might sneak in a nap this afternoon in anticipation, lol)
The red cup to the other red cup: “Hello again, Frank…”
There's a coffee shop in Austin with two drinks named after these guys :D
Everybody here needs to see Triangle (2009). <br>
This is actually why I only drink iced coffee. Hot drinks get left in the graveyard dimension of my brain and are too time sensitive
Tea, but same.
I always use the same cup and whenever I can't find it it's because it's still in the microwave
And this is why do cold brew. Worst that can happen is that I forget that I have it in the fridge
It tastes better, too. I just wish I had a good way to make it at home.
Gonna second the French Press in the Fridge method. It's the one that works best for me; cleanup is pretty easy, and the only problem is trying to fit it in the fridge without fully depressing the plunger.
I drink the room temp coffee as my punishment. Sometimes I'll even drink yesterday's cup, too.
Sometimes I read these kinds of memes and think to myself: “Phew, I'm doing p good, still!”
I'm sorry for your coffee, OP.
I most often find food, I actually drink the coffee most of the time
The saddest thing is finding some leftovers you were looking forward to enjoying forgotten in the microwave
I know... I love food and have a huge thing for not wasting food too
Clearly you just don't need the coffee, so you might as well just save that money.
I almost spit out my coffee from this meme!
An old friend of mine would often leave cups of coffee around his house that he had forgotten about. My favorite was when I found one in his freezer.
Lol I sometimes microwave something, then FORGET TO EAT IT 😭
(I have not ever been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD)
The forgotten coffee problem was my main reason for switching to oatmilk. If it stands around uncooled with cow milk for too long it grosses me out, but oatmilk isn't as volatile so I don't mind drinking yesterday's coffee.
I use microwave for a lot of things. Also the rep would bring me back to the microwave
