It tickles me that people often act like this isn't a thing. I've reheated coffee and managed to superheat it before. At least that seems to have been what was going on - putting a spoon in the seemingly calm liquid caused it to bubble over aggressively.

    It's because it's both rare and rarely harmful. I think I've done it once or twice in decades of heating water in the microwave. Others I've known don't even believe it's possible because it's never happened to them.
