If one wishes to drink tea for their caffeine fix than any other type besides Lapsang Souchong is a waste of water.
P.S. Don't bother to argue - your wrong.

Ever since I had throat surgery about 7 years ago, I have developed a liking to iced coffee. I prefer it to hot brewed.

I don't think that you have a lack in experience with bad coffee, as bad coffee can be found in lots of places. Alternatively, you could have trouble identifying bad coffee.

I've drunk coffee in Merca, I know how it can be truly elephanted. As for temperature, it is hot here and cold drinks are best. Also, the best coffee in the world is 2am cold dregs as you check in the production fix.

In my opinion, such as it is, I find that when the coffee beans are used twice (or even thrice) they tend to produce a most-unsavory elution.
In the states we refer to this a "Road Coffee".
The inspiration for one my sayings, "The best way to be awakened by a good hot cup of coffee is to spill it on your lap."

The only part of that which is correct is the part about the taste.
"Road Coffee" is I suppose a more colloquial term than I realized. The size of the USA makes a road trip often rather long. For efficiency, whilst on the road, one will pull over to a coffee-merchant of some sort (deli, gas-station, whatever) and get their rendition of coffee. This can be, as it turns out, almost anything (not only in quality, but I suspect, in content, as well). Bought 'on the road', it's 'road coffee'. These might even be from 'largish' chains: I once stopped, in bleary-eyed desperation, at a "Roy Rogers" for coffee. It was very hot dirty water in a paper cup and with a plastic lid. Anyway - if you use the beans enough times they eventually act as a water filter . . .
Interestingly, the coming of coffee chains has caused an upheaval in road coffee. One can find chains vending likes of Lavazza, Peats, and Starbucks coffee that intend it to be good (they also charge a road-side premium).

Of course there is bad coffee. In Russia I went to order coffee from a fine restaurant and my friend the Chef said to avoid the coffee here. He said the store did not pay the "extra" that the delivery guy required so they bags of rotted coffee beans (circa 1995). I noticed EVERY cup of coffee I saw was full. LOL. But EVEN good beans in Russia are used to make something approaching TAR more than coffee. I abstained after 1 cup. Or I drank HOT MILK with a drop of coffee, LOL.
I personally hate Starbucks and Bitter Coffee (caused by over grinding the beans, and releasing the tannic acids).
So, at work, I was the guy who broke out the label gun. I Labelled how many level scoops, the water mark on the pitcher of water, and reminded people if they picked up the coffee to grind it for a percolator. It makes much lighter and less bitter cup of coffee.
My Russian Friends call this "Coffee Juice" (as in Juice made from coffee, LOL).
I tend to drink 1-2 cups a day, and work out of the house. I switched to instant. I use a powder creamer. (My parents always drank instant).
I am sure what I like for coffee would be bad to others!
But when you are COLD and HUNGRY. Your standards go right out the window.
During Hurricane Wilma, without power, my neighbor came over with 2 hot cups of coffee.
We found a way to enjoy them anyways. Despite not even being close to my first choice.
And it was such a kind gesture.
BTW: Our office coffee was SO consistent, and EVERYONE made the coffee (I realized labeling worked when I worked at DOW and nobody made the coffee because nobody KNEW how. So I asked the person who made it, and I wrote it down and pinned it to the wall! Weeks later, she was thanking me, and I was just some dumb intern...)

They just want their moment of internet fame. 
I wonder if someone has redone the initial claim of "15 minutes of fame" to now account for the internet. I'd look on the internet if I cared enough.

Where do people get the ideas?
Maybe they spend to much time in The Lounge.

I have spent a fair amount of time in the Lounge, and have never once been tempted to walk on a Lego treadmill, or self mutilate in any other way.

I think toilet is the birthplace of many great ideas (such as "The Running Lego"). Even the pose is sort of like that of a sitting Greek thinker.
