About how long does it keep your coffee hot? (Do you preheat it with hot water first?)

Pretty much all day in the office 8-9hrs, and of course preheat can only help but not necessary in my opinion.

I begin work at 6 a.m. for my first 16 oz. cup and will then drink a 16 oz. cup at 8:30 and a 6 oz. cup at 9:45 a.m. I make my coffee in a french press at 180 degrees at 6:30 p.m the night before and I have to wait a few minutes after opening before pouring into my cup at 6 a.m. the next morning. If you preheat the carafe for a few minutes with the hottest tap water (mine is 130) before emptying and filling with coffee, you can easily expect 12 hours of hot beverage.

I did some testing over time with a thermometer, and the results were very good. One tip is that you need to make sure to close the lid firmly--it has a "partly open" state for pouring, that would let out heat if left that way.

Never did keep it hot - the carafe is just lightweight and only good for a few hours. Rinsing your carafe with hot water before brewing helps it say hot longer. I transfer the coffee to a great 12 cup thermos since I take it to work which will keep it hot for up to a day.

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!

It's hot enough for me for the first cup, but if I wait too long before going back for more, it has cooled off a bit. I don't mind nuking it for 30 sec in the microwave vs that nasty cooked & burnt taste of coffee left on a burner.

You don't need to fill it with hot water. Just fill with regular water and correct amount of coffee and it will brew as many cups as you put in.

I do not drink coffee, but my husband does. I asked him this question, he said it stays hot about 15 minutes, then he heats it up again. He likes his coffee very hot. Hope this helps.

it depends on how long that you pre-heat the carafe with hot water .... i fill the carafe with hot tap water and then grind my coffee and heat my water .... if you do that and use boiling water to make your coffee the coffee should stay fresh and hot for at least 3 hours .... the hotter the pre-heat water is and the longer that you pre-heat then the longer your coffee will stay hot ....

My brews my coffee to a good temperature and holds it there. My wife takes hers with milk and it stands up to that.Not sure how hot is hot for you, but mine brews to a good temp.

Yes. It holds the heat well if you preheat the mug with hot water before you fill it with coffee.

It will keep the coffee hot for several hours -- preheat it with boiling water. I bought a steel thermos which works a bit better. But the carafe is good if you plan to drink it all in less than 2 hours.

Well, that is a slight problem. I washed it off with very hot water at the end of each day. That mostly took care of it. I suppose that you could boil it every once in a while if you didn't think it was clean enough. The fact that it kept things warm for so long made it worth the extra cleaning for me. If you drink your beverage fairly quickly that wouldn't be such an advantage so you might want to pick a different cup. One tip - if you pre-warm the mug using hot water, the warmth of the beverage lasts even longer. I'm a slow drinker so I could put coffee in in the morning and still be drinking it at midnight and it was still warm enough to drink! Well, that is a slight problem.

How long will 1 cup of hot water take to heat? Same as a cup of coffee? I gather its not 'on-demand' or instant hot.

I would say at least an hour. I'm always done with mine before it gets cool. I use it for my coffee too.

We routinely fill it with very hot water (as we've done with all our coffee carafes for years) before making the coffee. It keeps the coffee hot for at least an hour, which is the longest any of us can stand to have coffee sitting around since we're kind of Nazi-esque about freshness and taste. It's a great coffeemaker - not fancy, but it functions very very well and I'd buy another one (if it would ever wear out!).

If you put hot water in the pot to preheat it, then pour that out or back in the heating vessel to bring it to a boil again, then make your coffee, the Nissan will keep your coffee hot for somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour. If you just pour the hot water over coffee grounds in a cold pot, maybe 30 minutes. I'm doing a time test right this minute. Here's a time comparison after pouring a cup to drink while I tested. Time (min.) Temp (F) 4 168 10 166 15 162 30 156 45 149 60 144 I can say that I bought a Frieling Stainless, double-walled French press last year for about $80 and it does no better than the Nissan, plus has a nasty habit of shooting coffee out the spout if it's just slightly too full and I press the filter in a little too quickly. The Nissan top closes completely and has no such tendencies

Sowden recommends a candle warmer to keep the pot warm, not a hot plate, other electrical device. If you pre-heat the pot with boiling water prior to brewing -- and you should for better brewed coffee -- the pot will keep warm for roughly 20 minutes. Sowden states that the coffee is kept at an acceptable drinking temperature (70° to 85° C) for up to 20 minutes. http://www.sowdenathome.com/sowden-softbrew-coffee-frequently-asked-questions/
