So sez the conventional wisdom, noob. Fact is, several of us tested the conventional wisdom and it doesn't wash out true. Coffee might get cold after 24-hours but is simply does not get bitter. Over short periods of time the coffee may go from hot to warm but it doesn't get overly strong or bitter. Try. You see for yourself.
