This 3rd cup of coffee tastes like shit.

[GoldenDelicious]

the chemicals in coffee sitting in a pot sit there reacting, so the taste will change. also, as the temperature changes, the relative solubility of smelly chemicals in the coffee will also change, changing the taste. also, the chemicals in coffee and tea react with the proteins on your tongue/in your nose, changing your ability to taste the coffee...meaning that the coffee is the same, its just you suck at realising it.

kind of like a "baby, its not you, its me" situation...with beverages

and to think i used to think my chemistry lecturer was a nerd someone come kill me

I never drink coffee... I'm not much of a coffee person.

Plus, if the coffee is sitting on a hot plate, the water is evaporating, changing the chemical densities.
Tim Horton's has done studies & determines the coffee is no longer any good after 20 min on the plate, so they time their pots & dump the old stuff.

She's gone tonight. No school tomorrow. Even though I have to argue with her and she drives me nuts, I miss her.
