does it have the annoying beep when it's through brewing and then again when the keep warm feature shuts off?

No, while brewing, it gurgles, but there is no beep when it stops . . . the gurgling just stops. There is no 'keep warm' feature. The carafe is like a thermos bottle that can keep the coffee hot for an extended period of time. The advantage is that the coffee never gets a 'burned' taste as with other coffee makers and if the coffee is not hot enough after several hours, you can microwave your cup/mug without the burned flavor.

No and no. There is no keep warm feature. As soon as the coffee is brewed it shuts itself off. The carafe is lined to keep the coffee hot and it does a great job. I prefer the automatic shut off.

It has no annoying beep. I set it to brew before I get up, and it has hot coffee waiting for me. There is no warming plate, because it is in a thermal carafe. It stays hot for several hours without any possiblilty of scortching. I am very happy with my coffee pot!

The carafe is glass. As far as I know there is no way to turn off the beeping. I don't find it annoying since it isn't continuous, just a quick beep to let you know that the coffee is ready, or in response to pushing a button.

I reset it every night after preparing my brew for the morning. It only takes pressing the menu button three time and then the brew button until it beeps. No biggie.

That is quite a question!!! :)Well, yes it could have a beep every time the frig is opened! Keep the beer safe! use the window/door sensor.GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System Window/Door Sensor

Yes it does. Three high pitched beeps when the coffee is ready and when the warmer turns off.

No, the button makes a click sound and automatically turns itself off once the water is boiling. If you forget about it and come back too much later, the water will be cold again.

It just beeps if it's too hot or cold. It stops when you take it out of the water.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't beep when the coffee is done. (But, you can tell when it's done brewing - or help yourself before it's done). It definitely does not beep at the 2 hr. shutoff.

No, while it's annoying, it's a safety feature. My husband just keeps it hot all day by doing this: after it's been on for an hour and a half or so (anywhere shy of the 2 hr shut-off time), he turns the coffeemaker off to reset the timer and then immediately turns it back on to keep the coffee warm for another 2 hours. So if we're heading to church on Sunday morning, we turn it off and back on just before we go so it's still hot when we get home. This is the only way around the shut-off feature.

hello Vanda, it is very quiet. But does beep once boiled. it has a useful keep warm function and heats water to 4 different temperatures. I have not read the instructions so have no idea if the beeps can be disactivated

This coffeemaker does not beep, but the noise it makes while brewing--and it brews pretty quickly--should give you enough of a clue so you know when it is done. I'm blind with a partial hearing impairment, but I have no problem knowing when it is done, and this is my favorite coffeemaker *ever*.

Sounds defective. Mine beeps but you can also tell a waffle is done when the steam stops or slows way down. Also, when the iron is up to temp the lights around the temp knob go to where you have set the browning level.

Yes, it beeps and goes into Keep Warm after cooking. It also has an Off button.The other cycles are really useful, too. I really like this cooker. Just don't bother with the frittata recipe; it will keep turning itself off, which is frustrating. Use the recipe in an electric skillet or on the stovetop.

No beeps or annoying clicks. Compared to my prior heater it is very quite but you can still hear it run. If you set it at a particular temperature all night it will cycle on and off so this may (?) bother him. Hope this helps.

It beeps when the coffee is finished brewing. It is not very loud and it is quick, in my opinion. I find it very helpful knowing that the coffee is ready.

No beep, no ding-dong, no buzz. It's not completely silent however. As the last of the cold water is heated and pulsed out there are a few bursts of steam you can use as a signal it is over except for the final drips thru the grounds. Be sure you wait for that final drip thru before pouring your first cup. By the way, that 5 cup capacity translates into two coffee mugs. Perfect for me but might not be enough for others.
