How long does the heating element stay on after brewing? Our last one turned off right away and worked for 6+ years. New one stays one a bit.

It does not have a heating element. The stainless steel carafe is supposed to keep the coffee warm after brewing, but it does not. It is a lousy coffee machine, frequently overflowing if the lid is not aligned perfectly while brewing.

There is no heating element. Thermal carafe keeps it hot. Our old one lasted until I erroneously put hot water into tank which is a big no!

Mine started making a lot of noise, at all times of the day, not just while brewing. Then it started brewing incorrect water sizes. Finally it just stopped working completely, no power at all. I called Cuisinart and they offered to send me a new one for $10. I had to ship the old one back, but it is still worth it.

The heat element to make coffee automatically turns off when the water is all pushed over into the carafe. The keep warm plate defaults off in two hours but can be programmed for less or more, not to exceed 4 hours.

I am on my second one and it always keeps the coffee hot - I have never had a problem with that. The reason I am on my second one was the hot water vessel failed after about 8 years of some pretty good use.

There is no heating element to keep the coffee hot once brewed. It has a carafe that keeps the coffee hot. I have had a cup two hours after brewing and it is still hot. The water in the brewing process is heated to about 200 degrees. Highly recommend this product.

I have the same problem. The iron shuts off every ten minutes and then stops heating. Then, water starts leaking from the steam holes . I unplugged and replugged the iron cord so the heating cycle would start again. This is very excruciating. I bought a cheaper iron that does not have an auto shut off feature,

Hot plate only heats during brewing process. It's fully automatic. No way to turn on or off. Coffee stays hot for hours due to thermo carafe. After months of constant use I give 5 stars!

I've had mine for a long time.makes a great cup of coffee ,brews at the correct brewing temp.To answer your question: Mine is an older model it stays on for an hour then shuts off after that.. with the stainlesscarafe the coffee stays warm if it stayed On the coffee would become cooked like most restaurant coffeethat sits on the burner all day. Most people put so much cream and sugar in their coffee they don't noticeor even know what fresh coffee tastes like. Hope I answered your question

You have to turn it on and fill the reservoir for the initial set up. After that you may cut off the heater to the reservoir (known as the vacation switch), but then it will take about 5 to 10 minutes to reheat before you can brew a pot of coffee (which defeats the purpose of having a Bunn coffee pot in the first place). If your concerned about the safety of leaving it on all the time, I have only heard of only one incident of it causing a fire, however my father, his brother and I have been using them for years with no problems. Hope this helps, Robert.

It goes straight into a cup while brewing, so it depends on the type of cup you use to have it brew into - such as a thermal cup, etc. Otherwise, it does not have a burner or anything to keep a cup warm afterward - it's just for quick brewing on the go. :-)

No, mine stays on for the entire brew timt.. you might reset your stay warm feature for at least an hour stay warm time

I've had mine for almost 5 years and brew 12-16 shots a day and it's still going strong. The steamer still works great as well.

It stays on for about 1 hour (never timed it exactly) or so at least before it turns off. There is a light indicator to tell when on or off and if it does go off there is a button to push that turns it back on. It has a port where you pour water in and even if I'm steam happy last me quite a good time. It has a spray function and a steam function (press the button). I've noticed people complain about water leaking, but you have to keep it upright when not in use. That stops it from leaking. There is a proper way to keep the iron when not in use and that's the way.

No, the heating element is not exposed. When the water comes to a boil, it shuts off automatically. I have always poured the water immediately and have not noticed if the kettle maintains heat for an extended period of time.

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

I love mine but haven't had it for over a year. My mother though has had her keurig for 3 years and it still works fine, did you clean it regularly? If you do not clean these regularly they can become almost like clogged up and will stop working so make sure to follow the care instructions.
