well it may not taste the best but it won't hurt you.

oh yeah..its not unhealthy or anything..it just might be that some people dont really like old cofee. its up to you

Yuk!

Of course it is....coffee would take days to spoil. I have been drinking day old coffee heated in a microwave for years, and years with no ill effects.

mite be a tad stale but why not... wouldnt do anything longer then that... after 20 or 30 hours i may get moldy

Sure!
enjoy

It wont make you sick or anything. Its completely fine! It may affect the taste a little though, being a day old. Personally I would just warm it up again. It seems a waste to dump it.

Works for me-I do it all the time. Doesn't have the 'zing' of fresh-brewed, but there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, I hate to waste coffee, and waste electricity making another pot.

It's OK, but it sometimes doesn't taste very good. It seems to get stronger or something, don't ask me how, because that doesn't even really make a lot of sense. But it won't really go bad or anything if it has only been a day, and if you didn't add milk to it or anything.

It's not unhealthy, but it might be strong with a bitter after taste.

It won't be at its peak of flavor, but it's ok to drink

it might taste kinda sick, but it's not unhealthy

it's fine, maybe strong. if you like to flavor your coffee, this will be a way to weaken it. but my husband has always drank the leftover coffee at home and at work.

You could have had a fresh pot of coffee in less time than it took to log on and ask the question

yes, as long as it was pure coffee without milk and sugar in the pot. It might taste a bit stale,but it's not dangerous. I do it couple times a week when I need a cup of coffee to stay awake trough dinner, but feel too lazy to make another pot
If the taste bugs you, add a bit of sugar or milk

If it were MY Home Roasted coffee I would rather drink it cold than ruin it in a micro wave oven. That process changes even the taste of plain water to me. As for my cold coffee, it sometimes has a better flavor than when it is hot, just depends on which origin of coffee I brewed.
BUT if you are drinking canned or another form of commercially staled coffee, putting it in the microwave can't hurt it any worse.
