Does the coffee continue to brew as long as it's in the pot? Will it taste bad after an hour or so?

The coffee only brews for the first 5 minutes or so. After that it retains flavor and heat for about an hour. Flavor of all coffee deteriorates with time. In this pot it loses it's freshness, but doesn't develop any bad flavor. We pour the coffee into a pre-heated thermos after brewing to preserve temperature and flavor as long as possible.

It shouldn't taste bad but would not be as hot. We brew one and put that in a thermos, and then another which gets consumed within 15 minutes. Any late morning coffee left over usually gets zapped in the microwave and tastes much better than something that's been sitting on a heating element.

Coffee actually steeps, rather than brews, in a push pot. Add the ground coffee, pour in boiling water and let steep for 4 or 5 minutes. Then stir and top off with hot water. Carefully put on the top and slowly push to the bottom. Pour and enjoy. Have owned many push pots over the past 35-40 years and this my favorite! This is one of the very best ways to make coffee and just has to be one of the best pots.

I've been using this coffee maker for about 3-4 months now. Seems like it will brew a whole pot in about 6-8 minutes. I think that smaller amounts would take a little less. Be prepared to use a courser grind of coffee or you will get sediment. The pot comes with an auxilary filter you put directly in the pot to trap this extra sediment if you decide to run the finely ground coffee instead. Still happy with the purchase.

The coffee maker does not beep after it's brewed the coffee. It just sits there and waits for you to drink what the timer activated. But I'd suggest not setting the time to brew the coffee an hour before you're going to get up or it will be cool by the time you do plan to drink it!

This is an awesome machine. It brews very hot. Just make sure you leave your keep hot setting on for however long you will be wanting coffee. I have mine set for 2 hrs which is generally how long it takes us to finish the pot.

This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it. The more hot beverage you have in the pot the longer it will stay hot/warm. I have found that if you put boiling water in the pot first to warm it up while you are making your coffee, then fill it 4/5th (two 12-cup pots), it will last hot for about 5 hours and drinkably warm for another 5. It also depends on how hot you like your coffee. My mum like it scalding hot so she doesn't like these things. Me, I am fine for about 6-7 hrs, then I need to microwave the cup to reheat it. As others have said, you can still find warm coffee in the pot the next day 18hrs later, but it is too cool for my taste. This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it.

I have owned three of these coffee pots. One had the same problem. I had to pull out the instructions and follow them exactly. This particular pot required cleaning OFTEN. I hope this helps.

About 3-5 minutes, but I usually wait for about 10 minutes to make sure it has brewed every drop!

I don't know, the pot was returned because it took forever to brew a pot and even then, the coffee was weak. The pot did not live up to expectations.

that sounds like a long time. I have never timed it, but I usually brew about 6 cups and don't feel it takes a long time. There is also the option to pour a cup before the brewing is complete. It will stop until you put the carafe back in.

Do use more coffee grounds than suggested on the package. Also, if you still have your old coffee maker try that too. The newness of the coffee pot may also affect the taste.

We take our carafe of coffee out on our back porch in the morning and it will stay hot for the duration of emptying the pot with two of us drinking. I'd say a good hour. Hope that helps.

I have never timed it ... but if you put hot water in the carafe first then empty and brew ... I think it stays hot for about 2 hours ... I like my coffee super hot so I usually drink it before long ... hope this helps!

No. The coffee flows into a thermos type pot which keeps the coffee hot for several hours. I have had many types of coffee makers over the years and this is by far the best.

I find that it stops brewing... Then I would remove the grounds...and maybe occasionally it will kind of sound like it's trying to rebrew but actually is just reheating... I personally think you wouldn't want to leave it plug in all day or it would taste old and burnt... Hope this helps!

Yes. It only stays on for 2 hours after it is finished brewing. I have learned to deal with that. I think it is a great coffee maker maker. My issue was with the pot. It leaks when you pour out the coffee and you can not empty the pot completely.

I only brewed a mug of coffee once but I would guess about 3-4 minutes. I had it on the mild setting though. The mug was not as strong as the pot. If you like strong coffee then I would definitely recommend this coffee maker.

Yes it is. Perfect drinking temperature and it remains hot for 30 minutes after brewing cycle is finished and then automatically shuts off so the remaining coffee in the pot doesn't "cook" and become bitter. I reheat my second cup in the microwave. An excellent small appliance.
