People brought way too much coffee to a work thing and I took it home. Is there any risk, other that than that it will taste bad, to keeping it for a week or two?

It barely stays warm for 45 minutes, even in an insulated cup. If you leave it on the hot plate for over an hour it already tastes significantly worse - or even burnt. I don’t think that’s a coffee snob view, just something anyone can detect. Reheated coffee is even worse. It tastes nothing like it did straight from the kettle. Even gas station coffee is better than that.
Once it’s room temp it’s usually not bad iced. Not great, but better than reheated, and I’m stingy enough that I’ll gladly enjoy mediocre iced coffee for free rather than paying to brew new coffee for a few days
I refer back to “some people are willing to drink Yuban”. If you haven’t had the misfortune, I invite you to try it so you can experience truly awful coffee can be regardless of how fresh it is.
