Will heating the carafe with hot water FROM FAUCET heat it up enough so that brewed coffee is HOT HOT?

It will help with both initial temp and long term. However I do not preheat the carafe but find the coffee hot and maintains its tempHope this help

Not if you're like me & like coffee very hot. I run a pot of water through the unit first. That get the carafe and the heating coil hot.

First cup is HOT w/o pre warming carafe but the remaining cup or two do not stay hot even with pre warming

I would recommend against this; doing this may confuse the internal temperature sensors. FYI, my Technivorm produces coffee that is 180 degrees F , and that is *after* transferring the coffee to my work Thermos. Hotter than that, it's a trip to the Burn Unit.

No - the carafe is supposed to keep the coffee hot, but the heat lasts maybe an hour. But - you don't have the burned coffee taste that comes with leaving the carafe on the hotplate

Yes. It's almost too hot to handle after being washed with hot water let alone filled with piping hot coffee. It isn't insulated.

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.

No mention was made as to how old your unit is. A thermal carafe is only as good as the vacuum seal surrounding the carafe. Have you run your carafe through a dishwasher? If so, you may have liquid in areas where there should be only air or vacuum. The thermal break is gone, coffee does not stay hot. Another consideration, is the brew temp where it should be in the first place? Fouled heating elememts do not heat the water to the same high temp as clean heating elements will. Clean the elements by brewing a pot of white vinegar. It is amazing how much color (crud) the vinegar will pick up. After the vinegar, run at least two or three pots of clean water. I sometimes will run do the vinegar treatment twice. These are only guesses and not answers, but your question could be answered in so many ways. I wish i could help more.

Hello, I would not recommend you heat up this carafe on the stove top. Your carafe is designed to keep liquids hot with the insulated thermal walls. Hope this helps. B

Yes, however, I always always fill it up with hot water before brewing. It's habit with my typical morning schedule. All in all it's the best coffee maker I ever owned and I'll definitly by again.

I would certainly think so. I checked my coffee after brewing it with my Keurig and is showed a temp of 185 degrees. The closer you are to the heat source with the gun, the more accurate the temp.

No, it is only a thermos dispenser. I use hot water to heat the thermos first. When the coffee is brewed, I empty the hot water from the thermos and then pour in the hot coffee. The coffee stays hot for a LONG time!

No-the carafe is a thermal carafe. Which I like. The coffee stays hot for hours in it-without getting burnt and that burnt flavor.

No-the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps the coffee very hot

not at all. It is hot when it brewes then need a thermo mug to keep it warm.There is no keep warm device.

Yes. The Coffee is Very hot After Brewing But You Can Always "Reheat" And Froth More By Selecting The "Froth" Button. My Kids Even Like This With Their Hot Chocolate And Have Gotten Very Creative. Enjoy

Not really sure because I further heat the coffee then immediately pour it into an insulated carafe. I never let the coffee just sit in the pot. Frankly, I don't think the coffee comes out hot enough, at least not if you plan to add milk or creamer.

Not that I am aware of, but the carafe did not seem to get hot when using the single serve side only.

Yes... A single cup of coffee is hot as the machine pre-warms for about one minute. The carafe does not stay hot if the warmer place is not on as it is a fairly standard glass carafe. If you don't like the use of a warmer, I recommend getting a insulated coffee vacuum carafe. Alfi makes some great ones that keep coffee warm for eight hours or more. However, I have never noticed a burnt taste imparted by the hotplate on this machine.

I could not say, I have never used a thermal carafe. Perhaps contact Cuisinart directly for an answer.
