It hurts to agree with you, Bryan, but that's what I do with my coffee. I
drink the first cup from the four-cup pot immediately, and fridge the rest
for the next few days. I microwave half coffee and half whole milk with
sugar or sweetener to make a quite acceptable cafe au lait. Others have
sneered at my system, so it's nice to have a Certified Food Snob approve!
