How do I get the coffee hotter?

Do NOT use hot tap water. It comes from the hot water tank - think about it. That should never be used for drinking. Boil the water in a kettle instead.

I always fill the thermos with HOT tap water before brewing to get the inside nice and hot. It works great and my coffee stays hot for hours.

Mine is OK as long as you drink it black. I like how it still tastes good after an hour or more. But, you have to nuke it to get it not enough after that amount of time. I wouldn't buy another one.

If you have very hot tap water, fill the carafe with hot tap water to heat it up. Then dump the water and brew. You will lose less heat that way than if you use a cold carafe. We do that at work.

Hi Faye,If the coffee seems to cool too quickly for you, you can try preheating the cup by brewing a cup of hot water into your cup to heat it up. Or you can reheat the cup in the microwave after brewing.

Answer here...What is "real hot" to you? The temperature is about the same as the coffee from my Mr. Coffee machine.

Either the coffee is already cooled offm or you haven't got the milk hot enough. Quick test if milk is hot enough is to lightly touch the side of the stesming cup if it is too hot to touch it's hot enough.

Put desired ground coffee into bottom of glass canister with press apparatus out. Pour desired amount of very hot water into canister. Then insert press apparatus and gently press it down until it gets to the bottom trapping the ground below and the filtered beverage above.I hate this device and no longer use it. There are no markings to guide how much water to add.

I would dial the thermometer setting to the left or countrrclockwise to lower the temperature. This setting knob is under the sink on the front of the tank. Make small adjustments; no one likes cold coffee that is meant to be hot. Hope this helps.

Yes you can make it stronger, but I don't think hotter. However I would absolutely NOT recommend this machine. Its not worth the money - I have 2 other machines of a similar cost in the UK and they are much much better. In fact I don't even use this one to make cappuccino anymore because it was so useless. It has little parts that get lost, it has fault errors constantly with the dregs drawer. I really really wouldn't ever recommend this machine to anyone. Sorry!

Not sure, I returned the unit as I could not get coffee temperature hot enough.

I was struggling with this as well. This process worked better (I actually got a great cup like this):~24 grams medium ground (Baratza encore setting 26)190-200F water (Hotter than I was doing, pretty much just filled the press up when inverted)Pour slowly, Stir for ~15 seconds, use two rinsed filters (I do all this slowly so it is around 30 sec brew times). Flip it over and press slowly. Now, I

Our machine seems to make it hot (hot enough that I can't hold the glass cup bottom). I will say, though, that the FIRST espresso after we turn it on seems cooler than the subsequent attempts (still very warm; just not hot). I imagine there is some water in the lines that isn't heated, but I don't know that.

Coarsely ground coffee, add to canister. Add hot water-i use a kettle but stovetop is fine. See instructions for suggested exact temp if youre picky. Slowly push down press, moving ground coffee to bottom of canister. Pour into cup directly from canister, it also has a strainer on spout just in case.

No NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE COFFEE TEMPERATURE. It is at a prper drinking temperature. If you need super hot coffee you can use the Micro wave but it is not necessary.

I don't know how to make it hotter, but you might want to try descaling the machine.

Tom is right (and you set the water volume for these buttons yourself by holding them). I always use a double shot! You can also alter both the grind size and strength on the bean grinder. You can't make the water temperature any different as it's pre set BUT you can use the steam nozzle to make your drink hotter i guess.. it's always been the perfect temperature for black coffee but I would always use hot milk otherwise the drink isn't hot enough.

Okay- so I just checked this out: http://www.breworganic.com/coffee/howtoroast.htm& the beans need to be in motion to prevent scorching- so this model would definitely not do it! Hope this all helps!

All you have to do is add more coffee.orif you prefer add less coffee for a lighter cup.

There is not a way to adjust the temperature, but the grind is in the top where you put the coffee, see the manual
