Does this coffee maker have a porcelain coated burner plate? (Had a porcelain burner plate dissolve its finish day-one Mr. Coffee)

It does not seem porcelain coated, but it does have a burn plate that maintains the coffee warm while it is on. I don't know if I complete understood the question but the fact is that the plate is the way it was when I bought it, and I guess this is good. Hope it can be of some help.

I am not sure about the porcelain coated burner, but we used it in very cold weather while camping and had hot coffee until it was all gone. This is our camping coffee maker so do not use it every day, just several months a year. It is easy to use and takes up a small amount of space. I am not sorry that I bought it. Hope this helps.

I am not sure, there is must be something wrong with your machine. My coffee is still warn the next morning if we didn't finish the pot from the morning before. It's always got when I make it, so you may want to want to send it back for replacement

The Amazon description of this product includes "porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates" not cast iron cooking grates. I am confused both regarding the question and the answers. Did an earlier model have cast Iron (without the "porcelain-enameled" coating)?

My 4-cup Cuisinart has done the same thing. The coating peeled away little by little exposing the metal plate beneath. I am assuming it's because the factory has set a warming temperature on the plate too high and the thermal coating was not correctly mated. I'd much prefer a stainless warming plate rather than a thermal coated warming plate. Still brews a terrific coffee, but without that coating there is a concern about the warming plate's integrity now. Cuisinart should learn from all these concerns expressed.

No, and take my advice, it's a piece of junk that I'm stuck with. This is a warranty replacement from Breville. the first one started giving a smell of burnt plastic from the inside and this replacement shuts down in the midst of trying to brew or heat up. I called Breville about it and they said there was nothing they could do as it was a warranty replacement and it is now out of warranty. It can sometimes take 5-10 unpluggings at the outlet to reset the machine for each brew and recently I've just plain given up because I don't have the time, so I use our regular coffee maker. My brother has had great success of with his Gaggia which is what I'll be replacing it with, never again buying a Breville espresso maker. http://www.amazon.com/Gaggia-14101-Classic-Espresso-Stainless/dp/B0001KOA4Q

It doesn't........like I said in my review...."guess how I know this" ha! So that can be an issue for some......I've left it on, and cooked some remaining coffee into crust......soaked in hot water.....cleaned right up...........do that once or twice, and you'll remember to turn it off.

It doesn't work that way. There is no burner on this unit. The unit shuts off as soon as it is done brewing. It relies on the insulated SS carafe to keep the coffee hot for hours which also means it doesn't continue to 'cook' the coffee for hours, either.

Yes, there is a coating. However,so far I have absolutely no problem with it since it only is used for water. Best stove top maker on the market IMHO.

It doesn't appear so. I looked when I checked the leaks, but it seems to be molded with the plastic around it. Maybe someone else knows something about replacing it that I don't. In all fairness, I've had this coffee maker for several years and it just now is rusting through.

Yes, you are correct. The plate is only a plastic sheet intended to protect the counter top from any accidental damage from the carafe. The best way to use the carafe is to pre-heat it using hot tap water before brewing the coffee. When the brewed coffee drips into the carafe, it does not cool it much (if any) since the carafe is already hot. The coffee will stay hot for a long time. I don't know how long because I generally make myself two cups in the morning and it never has time to cool off before I finish the second cup. The glass carafe with the hot plate will definitely keep the coffee warm longer but I have noticed thru the years that the hot plate seems to impart a "burnt" taste to the coffee if you let it stay on the heated plate very long. I like the double wall stainless steel carafe better as I don't think it affects the taste at all. I have a friend who swears he can taste a metal note when he uses a stainless steel carafe but I can't.

no, I was given one with out the K-cup holder. I requested the recall at the same time. Got that today. Our coffee maker works fine but I'll put in the recall parts.

hi jeff, well I really can't answer that question, guess I never thought about it when I purchased the coffee maker, I was really after the color! it might say in the description, otherwise I would put it in to the search engine for a replacement carafe as long as you have the model number, hope this helps!

I have the same problem! It doesn't keep the coffee hot for long. I had another model stainless steel carafe also no hot plate that kept my coffee hot much much longer. Very disappointed in thst!

Yes it does... Even when the coffee cools, it does not taste old (unlike the coffe machine - thermal or carafe... highly recommended !!!

I'm sorry, but I never heard of a porcelain cooktop, I'm pretty sure mine is glass, but I could be mistaken. It worked beautifully on mine.

Yes, the warming plate stays on for some time and stale coffee always tastes bad, in my experience, so it's not the fault of the warming plate.I believe this is standard for all drip coffee pots these days.

Just stainless steel ... no coating to ruin the taste of your favorite hot coffee ... just as it should be in a quality product like Zojirushi.
