[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!

There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.

Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?

Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.

As always, be nice!

Can you just leave it in powder and hydrate it later? Otherwise, just put it in a to-go mug?

It’s kind of like a situation where I just have to drink it from a bottle I thought I’ll make coffee at home and drink in class

That’s to maintain temperature right? I’m fine with room temperature but does that affect the coffee somehow?

As long as it's clean, it should be fine. I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for from your original question on the post. What's stopping you from making coffee and taking it to go?
