One coffee phenomenon I'm curious about: why does old coffee get cloudy?
On the day I brew it, it's a dark brown translucent.
But if I leave it in the pot overnight, it's definitely more opaque.
My wife claims it tastes the same as the day before.
- tptacek 2y agoI assume it's just the emulsion breaking.
- ailurooo 2y agofresh coffee has a distinct taste. Maybe your wife is just used to day old coffee lol
- CoastalCoder 2y ago> fresh coffee has a distinct taste. Maybe your wife is just used to day old coffee lol I can definitely taste the difference, and I much prefer fresh coffee. She just can't taste the difference for some reason. Which surprises me, because AFAIK her sense of taste is otherwise normal. One difference might be that I strongly notice "bitter" and find it unpleasant. Maybe bitterness is one of the key differences in stale coffee?
