Why does powdered coffee creamer dissolve easily in fresh, hot coffee but not reheated, hot coffee?

255 views

I’m new to using powdered coffee creamer, but I’ve noticed that, with a spoon to stir, it mixes instantly with a fresh pot of coffee but 30 minutes or an hour when I go to pour the second cup, it clumps up and can’t be mixed. Same result when I keep the pot heated and/or when I reheat the mug in a microwave.

Well, the thing is that when you first pour the powdered coffee creamer into hot coffee, the hot temperature helps to dissolve it quickly. But when you reheat the coffee, it can cause the creamer to break down and separate, making it harder to mix in. It’s always best to use fresh creamer if you can, but if you do need to reheat your coffee, try stirring it really well to help the creamer mix in better.
