    How long is coffee ok to drink after brewing?

    I am wondering, my Aunt told me once it did not keep a long long time. Please give info.

    At some coffee shops they throw the pot of coffee out after 20 minutes. I on the other hand will drink the brewed coffee for hours after it's been made.

      Should have said so, wondering if it is not good to drink after a while, for health reasons. thanks for the comment.

    Depends on what you mean by a "long, long time."

    In terms of taste, it's usually a good idea to drink it soon after brewing. The longer it sits and the longer it's heated, the worse it tends to taste. I usually finish a pot within about 2 hours or so at my house, sometimes 3.

    In terms of going bad, coffee left out on the counter for a long time can develop mold. This depends on local environment, but anywhere from a few days to a week should be long enough to see some mold floating in the coffee. At that point, I think it'd be safe to say that it's no longer safe to drink.

    I usually make a pot of coffee in the morning and have a cup.  Then at night I heat up what is left in the pot and take it to work with me.  Usually if I have any left over I just dump it down the sink.
