In your opinion, does bad coffee taste bad no matter what strength it is? (strong, perfectly, or weak)?!
I personally think a good coffee could be weak, or too strong, but still taste good. And bad coffee could be brewed perfectly and still taste bad. Making it weaker or stronger only makes it worse. Thanks!
Answers: and conversely, does good coffee taste good no matter how you make it?

I agree with the bad coffee tasting bad no matter what, but I think the opposite CANNOT be true. I think a poorly brewed good coffee is sometimes worse than actual bad coffee.
No matter what kind of coffee it is, my dad will find a way to make it taste absolutely terrible.
i only drink starbucks and dunkin donuts occasionally but i love their coffees
If the coffee is "bad" because its oils are rancid then at any strength it has a horrible taste.
any coffee that is bad is bad.
YES! If you get a strong/mild crap coffee and then you get a strong/mild good coffe, you can really taste the difference. Starbucks, Tim Horton's, and 78% of the donut shops have really lost there way, ALL INSTANT COFFFE! :(
Really good quality coffee is from freashly ground beans, more expensive but well worth it.
hehe, it doesnt matter what the strength is - it only matters how much sugar and milk i have available to me!! =p
but i do agree with you about the good coffee bad coffee thing...good coffee is good no matter what! even inexperienced drinkers like myself can tell that....and i think bad coffee is better weak...cuz then its badness isnt so apparent =p
Bad coffee is bad, no matter what.
Good coffee which has good flavor, body, and is not bitter is OK unless brewed too weak or brewed in a dirty pot coated with rancid oil. If it's too strong, I save it by adding hot water to dilute the drink.
Top 6 Ways to Make a Bad Cup of Coffee
Making coffee can be a simple process, but there are plenty of little things that you can do to make a bad cup. Though I'm presuming you'd rather make a good cup of coffee, so these might be a list of things to avoid doing.
1. Brewing With Stale Coffee
The most common way to end up with a bland cup is to use coffee that has gone stale. Roasted whole beans will stay reasonably fresh for up to 1 to 2 weeks, if kept in an air-tight container. Ground coffee only stays fresh for a few days.
2. Overdosing on the Additions
I like a bit of milk and sugar in my coffee, but too much of a good thing will turn even an excellent cup of coffee into a watered-down and sugary mess. These extras should accentuate the coffee's taste, not mask it. When trying a new coffee, you should have at least one sip without any sweetener, to appreciate the taste.
3. Using Burnt Coffee Beans
If you get your beans for a decent coffee house, this won't likely be a problem. But if you are roasting your own beans, make sure you don't go overboard. More roasting doesn't mean more flavour. Roasting only takes between 10-20 minutes. Burnt beans will make bitter coffee.
4. Boiling Your Coffee
Coffee brewing methods that involve boiling your coffee (like using a stove-top percolator) can result in poor coffee. The high heat can destroy the delicate flavour oils in coffee, leaving you with a pretty unappealing cup. Try using a drip coffee maker instead.
5. Letting Brewed Coffee Sit on the Warming Plate
The warming plate of a drip coffee maker will keep coffee warm, but forever. You'll end up with more stale coffee if you go for a cup that's been just sitting there for hours. Take a few minutes and brew a fresh cup.
6. Using a Paper Filter
If you're using a drip coffee maker, a paper coffee filter can taint the taste of your coffee. This can be a particular problem with cheap filters. Reusable plastic or metal mesh filters are less likely to spoil your brew.
I agree.
I'm 100% in agreement with you on this one! No bad coffee runs through these veins! I take my good coffee & brew it to its fullest potential (french press actually) so that it comes out just right every time!
Personally, I do think if coffee is brewed correctly it would taste bad. It is probably because it is not fresh. It has gone rancid so it taste bad. However, if coffee is not brew properly, then it would taste bitter burnt or dilute...
And regardless the strength, if is taste bad, it taste equally bad...
