How Long Can Black Coffee Sit Out At Room Temperature?
You can leave cooked or raw food out for no longer than two hours. The fact that old coffee must be dealt with every now and then. While it seems to be completely safe, is it safe and could this pose any danger to us?
Even if the coffee was brewed using high-quality beans, it can sit out at room temperature for over 24 hours if it is black. Coffee heated to 140°F (60°C) may be kept at this temperature for no more than one to two hours in contact with milk or cream. To prevent contaminating other beverages, throw away any latte or cappuccino that has been sitting on the counter for over two hours.
Black coffee stored in the refrigerator should be finished within ten to fourteen days after preparing a batch if it's a cold brew.
To keep your coffee fresher for a longer period of time, let it sit for only 30 minutes before serving it. But after 30 minutes, coffee's freshness is lost as a result of oxidation. This happens in most cases when two molecules have a chemical reaction and electrons are transferred from one molecule to another. The flavor quickly begins to fade and you'll be left with bad diner coffee.
In general, it is safe to drink black coffee that has been left out for 24 hours after brewing.
