Will old coffee in the refrigerator keep for 2 days?
I like the acidic taste of old/stale coffee.
I left my coffee at my desk over the weekend, and on Monday morning I took a sip. It tasted good. I did not heat it up, I drank it at room temperature.
But I read it is not advisable to drink coffee left out at room temperature because it is a medium for mold.
If I left it in the refrigerator for 2 days will it be safe to drink?
Best Answer
If left at room temperature it would certainly become a pool of mold, but if you refrigerate it, especially for just a few days, it should be fine. You would do well to put in a sealed container and probably adding ice to chill it faster would be 'better' but just set in the fridge for 2-3 days (depending on what else is in the fridge) should be ok.
Beyond that, taste is a personal thing and if you like it that way...go for it.

If you keep brewed coffee in a sealed container in the fridge, it may last longer. It's likely safe to consume for up to 3–4 days when stored this way. However, it probably won't taste that good.

Black coffee can last in the fridge for 1-2 weeks and still be completely safe to drink if it's stored in an airtight container. 2-3 days is optimal for the best taste but it will stay safe longer than that. Coffee with milk or creamer will last 2 days in the fridge.How long can you keep coffee in the fridge before it goes bad?

I am drinking a long black with 3 sugars brewed on Monday evening, added 1 teaspoon of sugar extra and reheated in a microwave. It is Saturday morning. It tastes beautiful and I'm not dead yet.
