And now boys and girls, it's time for Alan's tip of the day. Of course
you know Alan knows everything about everything. <g>
Continuous heat ruins good coffee. You should not leave your carafe on
the burner, nor should you leave your cup on a burner. Sustained heat
will concentrate salts, convert proteins to tars and tannins, generally
fouling the coffee, and tainting it with a burned smell. Yech!
Instead, you should brew your coffee and then pour it into a quality
insulated thermos or thermal carafe. The thermos will keep your coffee
piping hot and you can drink a little at a time. Every cup poured will
be rich and aromatic. :-)slurp
So then, Patti, I recommend you get a good thermos instead of the cup
warmer. The thermos will give you multiple uses, while the cup warmer
will just heat the cup.
