I'm missing some context here surely.
Coffee is good for roughly 45 minutes after it's brewed or few hours in an air-tight thermos. Ideally it should be consumed immediately.
You might be missing the context on the word “good”. Here it could mean “delicious / best flavor” or it could mean “safe to drink / not spoiled”
Given the question, the latter seems more likely.
Also, your bar for “good coffee” is clearly higher than many people’s and I would argue too high for any reasonable standard. Coffee is fine far longer than 45 minutes after it’s brewed, and also plenty of people are willing to drink Yuban.
It barely stays warm for 45 minutes, even in an insulated cup. If you leave it on the hot plate for over an hour it already tastes significantly worse - or even burnt. I don't think that's a coffee snob view, just something anyone can detect. Reheated coffee is even worse. It tastes nothing like it did straight from the kettle. Even gas station coffee is better than that.
I refer back to “some people are willing to drink Yuban”. If you haven’t had the misfortune, I invite you to try it so you can experience truly awful coffee can be regardless of how fresh it is.
Seems strange to me as well, I thought they were talking about ground coffee but apparently not. Why would you keep it? It will be awful even if it's technically safe.
