I remember when I used to work at MIT I would marvel at (and snicker at) the old-school engineers -- replete with short-sleeved dress shirts, Dilbert ties, and black-rimmed glasses -- who would walk in and slam down the cold coffee brewed the previous morning.
Then I started doing the same thing at home a couple of years ago. Half-full French press on a cold morning? Instant fuel. I love the microwave.
Yeah, it wasn't a retort. It was the continuation to the response in my brain that went "The only reason I use the microwave to warm old coffee is to dissolve sugar. I use splenda because it dissolves in cold coffee so I don't have to use the microwave"
Sorry. Sometimes I skip those jumps in logic when I'm doing too many things at once.
Meanwhile, at 10pm I'm starting to get groggy, and realize it's because when I left the house at 6pm to go to work, I forgot to grab some more coffee on the way out the door. Fortunately it doesn't go to waste.

Funny, I love instant sweetener that doesn't need the microwave to dissolve.
I am so confused by your retort.

Wait, you drink it cold? Wow.
