Another Microwave Rant: Good Lord!

This morning, as I read the world wide internets, I came across this "well-meaning" quote form a person responding to a question, "Is microwaved coffee good?"

" find that I can rehabilitate a ceramic mug o' joe with a couple of minutes in the nucleator, being careful to avoid bringing to a boil. Since I take my coffee black, no sugar (as the good Lord clearly intended) no worries about long-chain milk proteins turning to muck."

"As the good Lord intended?" Honey, if you want coffee the way it was meant to be enjoyed, you would keep it away from the microwave oven. The"good Lord" intended for a farmer to carefully cultivate and grow coffee cherries, which when harvested at the peak time, are developed into green beans. Then the "good Lord" created the roaster, which, also done correctly will create that wonderful coffee, you should grind, and brew in any number of ways you should.

The "good Lord" made the microwave for your Lean Cuisine, which is pretty lame fake food to begin with. He/She did not want you to destroy the HECK out of the coffee the wonderful farmer grew so you could enjoy. Back away from the microwave with you coffee!!! I beg you.

Coffee in a microwave, re-heated, destroys the taste of the coffee. Time and heat are the enemy of coffee. So if you are taking an old cup of what's left in the pot and re-heating it, you are making a sad situation worse. Brew some more coffee. Coffee is one of the cheapest things you can enjoy in life. the "good Lord" wants you to enjoy it fresh. If you want it black, fine. If you want a bit of sweet and dairy in it, the "good Lord" won't strike you down. So use the creamer if you want. 

Arrrgh...... Good Lord!
