I'm having my daily lunchtime coffee right now. I brew some in the morning and bring a jar with me. I keep little creamers in the frig. They say don't reheat coffee in the microwave but I do and it's fine.
 

I do not have a funny image to share, but I remember remarking to a friend that I wish I liked coffee, because there are so many flavored creamers these days, that seem like they would be good. She told me her daughter puts the creamers in her hot chocolate. Great idea.

I am always reheating coffee in the micro. Why do they say not to?

Coffee Crimes: Reheating Coffee Can you even do it?

"It's a familiar scene. Your morning cup of joe has cooled to the point of being undrinkable, but an afternoon slump is approaching, and you're too busy to brew another pot. Faced with what you assume is some perfectly good leftover coffee, you stick the cup in the microwave. One sip later, you swear never to make that mistake again".

"Why does microwaved coffee taste so bad, and is there another solution? According to Todd Carmichael, CEO and co-founder of La Colombe, the answer is simple: Never reheat coffee".

"The folks at Caribou coffee agree and specify that the microwave is an absolute no go. According to their website, "When coffee cools, its chemistry changes. Reheating the coffee will further break down the few aromatics left. Your coffee will taste bad." They recommend storing coffee in a thermos or starting from scratch".

"The Kitchn spoke to Karen Yates of coffee and science blog Bean Thinking for further insight. Coffee's acidity increases as it cools, Yates explained, which leads to a more bitter taste. Both the cooling and the rewarming, in other words, contribute to bad taste of reheated coffee".
