No, what you will ended up with is something that might be too bitter or astringent, and you will most likely ruin your coffee maker as i know that a lot of them have instructions that specifically indicate to only put water in the tank.

Unless you used just brewed coffee to make the second batch you would have stronger coffee but you wouldn’t have “twice as strong” coffee because the additional water would dilute it. If you used exclusively brewed coffee, then the answer is pretty much yes as the coffee still has enough water in it to take on the additional flavoring compounds. There is something called super saturation where that wouldn’t work but you’re far from that if your batc…
Assuming that that first pot is brewed normally, then the second pot would be stronger, but not “twice as strong”.
Brewing doesn’t work by adding a fixed amount of “coffee” every time, so that if a normal pot is “10%” strength, then another re-brewing cycle would create “20%” strength coffee, and a third cycle would create “30%” strength coffee.
Each re-brewing cycle — especially the first one — would probably make the coffee stronger, but each cycle would be adding less and less “new” coffee to the pot. You’d eventually just approach the maximum concentration of coffee-related molecules that can be held in suspension in your pot, and then just stay at that level.
