I do the same thing...it is only gross if you drink coffee that is sitting at the desk for three days straight. When you do that, it is best to keep it too yourself :-)

Drinking after it's cold is fine... the important thing is to never microwave it! >:-) Sometimes I toss in some ice cubes and make it legit.

Hey Joe! You remind me of the fact that Grampa Matt would brew awful coffee to begin with, and then distill it over the course of several days (maybe using the freezing process?). He ended up with a coke bottle full of the nastiest concentrate ever (apparently perfect for those long nights of simultaneous warez, IRC, & cooking channel).

Yooo Madgin, thanks for the idea. I'm going to try that :-) By the way, have either one of you guys visited Starbuck's lately and tried the new blend of coffee, I believe it is called "Pike"; like the fish. I didn't care for it, I thought it was the equivalent of drinking a light tea. At one point the Starbucks crew made offers to pour a shot of espresso within the coffee. Which was weird since I didn't indicate, at the time, that I didn't care for the coffee.

This was a Starbuck's on Long Island, not sure if the pike blend is in Rochester or St. Luis yet. Maybe the coffee gods will realize their mistake, and eradicate the existence of this blend from history :-)
