Popular family-owned roastery Copper Moon Coffee has just released a new coffee product for decaf coffee drinkers. The newest introduction of the Organic Swiss Water® Decaf Single Cup Pods (for K-Cup makers) delivers a rich, full-bodied flavor through a zero-chemical decaffeination process.

Unlike other decaf coffees on the market, the Swiss Water® method does not use any chemicals to remove caffeine from coffee beans, delivering a blast of flavor without the "buzz" of caffeine in regular coffee. This process uses a gentle method to remove caffeine from Arabica coffee beans with pure water, resulting in a coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free. Additionally, the company certifies each coffee pod is gluten-free, allergen-free, mold-free, and Kosher.

Can you microwave coffee? What you should know about proper reheating
Don't dump cold coffee just yet
Man drinking a cup of coffee

Imagine this: You've managed to make it out of bed, head downstairs, and patiently await a freshly brewed cup of coffee as you turn on your coffee maker. You take the first deliciously warm sip and place your mug down. Soon, your attention is quickly on the next thing on your to-do list, whether getting ready for work or unloading the dishwasher. Before you know it, an hour has passed, and you realize your warm cup of coffee is still sitting there, mostly full and cold. This common occurrence may leave you wondering: "Can you microwave coffee?"
Can you microwave coffee?

Instead of wasting a cup of cold coffee, you can reheat your room-temperature coffee in the microwave. However, if you've ever done this, you may notice that the coffee tastes different once reheated. Microwaving your coffee causes it to become more bitter, thanks to the natural acids within coffee. Chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and quinic acid are all present when you initially brew your coffee. Yet, these compounds are released even more when you reheat your cup. In turn, you may be left with more bitter coffee than the original cup. If you can get past the slight changes in taste, your coffee is still safe to consume even after reheating.
