Well, when I used to use a drip coffee maker I would do the same thing. The reason I did it is because that is the hottest cup you'll get out of the whole machine. I don't think it's any stronger nor does it take away from the rest of the pot.
When my drip machine went kaput a few years ago, I resorted to using my tiny Farberware pot until I can replace it. Well, during that time, I found the coffee smoother, less bitter and most importantly, hotter. There is nothing like a very hot cup of joe. room temperature coffee is "gooey" and leaves a bitter taste. From that day forward, I went with electric perc and never looked back.
I have a drip machine for emergencies but I tell you, it just does not compare.
I want to get a French Press machine one of these days and see how that makes it.
