Keeping Your Coffee Hot and Fresh at Home with a Thermal Pot
You brew a pot of coffee for yourself and want to enjoy it over the next hour or so, but have you ever noticed that after about a half hour or so the flavor of the coffee starts to dramatically change? You just brewed it fresh, but the first cup to the third cup is nothing alike. The problem is that your coffee never stopped cooking and you are more or less drinking burnt coffee.
This is a common problem at home and something that many coffee drinkers face, but few actually realize what the problem is. They mistake the coffee for being old and constantly throw out half full pots of coffee when the situation is not the coffee getting old at all and is entirely fixable. For about $20, you will never have to throw that extra coffee away and can enjoy a fresh cup for the entire pot.
As the coffee sits on the warming burner, the heat continues to cook the coffee in the pot. The only way to combat this is to take the coffee of the burner. Now if you just remove the pot, you are going to be stuck with cold coffee and forced to microwave it to get hot cup every time. That is unless you invest in a thermal pot
Instead of nuking your coffee or burning it, simply get a coffee maker that puts it directly into a thermal pot of buy one for your current coffee maker. The best ones are what they call “pump pots.” You can dump your coffee directly into the thermal pump pot, seal it and then whenever you need a cup of coffee, you simply pump it out of the container. While these will cost you a bit more than a regular thermal style pitcher, you never have to break the seal on the top of the container and your coffee will stay fresh and hot for hours.
