I am not sure about coffee, but heating water in a microwave may result in superheated water, which is above the boiling point without boiling. This can be quite dangerous, as it might start boiling at any time. In chemistry you usually put a boiling chip in the water when heating it in a test glass to avoid this.
It shouldn’t happen with coffee, superheated water requires there to be nowhere for the bubbles to form but even tap water normally has enough minerals dissolved in it for that to not be a problem.
A drink needs reheating so they use a convenient household equipment to reheat it. How controversial. How sacrilegious.

Who said it was instant coffee? And there might also be milk. Why waste perfectly good coffee?

Doesn’t this only happen with pure distilled water though?
Might be. I am actually not quite sure about this
