Does it have a warming plate on the top? If so does it work well?

Yes it does have a warming plate. It doesn't get that warm, I doubt you'd even notice it on the cups.. If you want to make sure your cup is nice and warm press the rinse button first to get a shot of hot water, tip it out then select whatever type of coffee you want. EDIT: I measured the temperature change this morning. When I first switched it on, the plate read 70'F. After 1 hour it reached 76'F.

Yes, but it really does not get hot. It is the only feature that isn't 100% great. I personally don't mind that it does not get hot.

No, there is no warming plate. Actually it wouldn´t make sense, since you make one cup at the time.

Worming plate on the top looks nice, but this is about it. Feels worm for a hand, but not worm enough for a cup.

There is a warming plate in the unit that keeps the coffee pot warm. There is no warming plate for the one-cup side. Note that I had my unit only a few months when the heating element quit working and I had to get a hole new coffee maker.

Yes it does get warm. The vents are not covered. I have a plastic lap table that shields me from warmth that is generated.

No, only the model with the glass pot has the 2 hour warming plate (you will also notice a small heater button on the front panel). The model with the thermal pot just relies on the insulation of the pot.

No it's "on" all the time but unless the cat lays on it, it does not heat up on the top. The bottom of the pad is warm to the touch all the time.

This is a warming tray...to keep hot food warm..to warm up plates ect....but to cook NO.

No it does not, and I would not recommend it as there is a small metal-type disc inside. Unless you want to cause a fire and possibly obliterate your house, but that's not an efficient way to keep your hands warm. Just boil it on the stove per the instructions.

I bought two different hot plates. No it is not cordless , no it does not stay hot for long like some of the ones that I had in the past. However it does get very hot and I would turn it off at the time the food is served. Still love it and cannot live without it. It is great for entertaining.

no hot plate, the Caraft stays warm for hours.the coffee is great and extremely consistent.we use a small artist brush to clean the hopper shoot after each pot. the instruction manual has cleaning instructions.we're very pleased with the product.

The answer to your question is "NO". The only time the plate gets "WARM" is when you have something on it and have it in the microwave oven on high for over 6 minutes. The food will get extremely hot which will then make the plate warm to the touch. I've had food on these plates that was so hot I couldn't pick the food up but the plate was just a little warm. I don't think you will have any problem with these plates concerning heat transfer.

No it doesn't. Sorry to report. Even with hot water to warm it, food is luke warm at best.

Yes it does. Don't use it so I am not sure if its too warm or not warm enough.

Thermos is not made for a warming plate. The Thermos is insulated stainless steel so warming plate heat would not reach the liquid inside the Thermos.

Yes it does but as I stated in my review, it heats up very fast and since it doesn't have temperature control it burns the top and bottom.

It does have a warming plate. I don't think this dilemma is unique to this particular coffee maker, but after some time sitting on the warming plate the coffee does begin to taste burnt. However, I would recommend it despite that fact, as again, the problem isn't unique to this model/ style of coffee maker - honestly, it's been a great coffee maker for me! Hope this helps!

No it has vacuum glass inside. Works well but I wouldn't put it on a warmer

Yes, both the plates do heat up.The lower plate is lot hotter than upper plate ( i don't suggest touching any of these plates with your hands to check... LOL)It does the job GREAT, all you need is some practice and modify making of the dough !
