How long does black coffee remains good to drink without being harmful?
Posted by scottparat on 24 Feb 2010 | Tagged as: Coffee Questions
I do not mind if it would be cold and flavorless, all I need is the caffeine of the espresso coffees that I am planning to make the night before I go to work the whole day.
Can just black coffee without any cream or sugar stay edible for the entire following day? What if I add "sweet and low" sweetener to it?
Thanks!

As far as being ‘good’, I’d say about 15 minutes for espresso and an hour for regular coffee. As far as being harmful, a few days on the counter or around a week in the refrigerator.
The flavor compounds break down reasonably quickly, the health benefits last several days. Anything organic will spoil over time. Coffee, like bread, is a great medium for molds and fungi to grow.

If you keep it sealed and maybe refrigerated it should last a good long time. Imagine how long a can of pop is good for and then remember, they "can" coffee also. There ya go, just buy the pre canned coffee and away ya go!!!
Of course I will stick to waking up 5 minutes early and making a good fresh espresso.
