It's drip coffee.
Been sitting in the coffee maker pot.
Nice and cold too.
Too tired to make a new pot.

It is totally safe, unless it had milk and you let it sit out. If it was just black coffee sitting in a pot,it may taste a little stale, but it's safe.

Drinking Day Old Coffee

This depends on a lot of things:
- Temperature in the room
- Type of Coffee used
- Type of water used (tap or filtered)
- How you plan to drink it.
Pretty much what this comes down to is that bacteria will have grown in the coffee over night, but the amount and the severity of the bacteria is based on the first three things above. Realistically, you could drink this out of your toilet bowl, and your chances are fairly low of getting sick, but the possibility still exists.
I would say, don't drink it cold, because then you really do have a higher risk of it being "unsafe." As I'm sure a ton of people are going to say, just microwave it for 30 seconds, and you'll be fine. Microwave emissions not only heat the coffee, they actually do a good job of killing any bacteria as well.

Sure, drink up!
This was how I discovered how to make ice coffee. Left a cup of pre-made coffee in the fridge over night. Better then Starbucks!
The only time it's not good to drink day old coffee is if you've already added creamer or milk (it's the dairy product that spoils, not the coffee).
Enjoy!

It's safe if black (no cream). Some suggest making sure when you microwave it that you stir it because bacteria will still thrive in the cold, middle of the mug that doesn't get heated like the coffee on the outer inside of the mug. Save the planet. Drink up!

I brew a pot of coffee then immediately turn off the pot so it doesn't sit there and cook. I always have left over coffee which I reheat the following morning in the microwave. Done it for years, never had a problem.

Coffee is what we in the food industry call a tight item. It has nothing that a bacteria can live off of in it, and is far too acidic. It can sit out for a couple of days but then the outer part of the pot can become contaminated.

Day old coffee is fine to drink.. it may not taste as good as freshly brewed, but go ahead and knock yourself out!

as long as there is no milk or creamer etc. it'll be safe but it will taste disgusting and as cheap as coffee is i would recommend throwing it away
