why does my coffee pot leak ..if I put cold water to make coffee and doesn't leak if I use hot water? Sometimes I forget and have a real mess.

I never poor the water in the pot until I'm ready to make coffee. However, I never use hot water. The instructions say to use cold.

You have a calcium deposit that can be removed chemically (see owners manual) or you can remove the top by removing the two small screws and clean the opening where the rubber plunger sits. The calcium deposit does not allow the plunger to drop in to the opening and completely close off the flow of water. I prefer removing the top but chemically cleaning will clean the entire system.

In my coffee pot, the coffee is HOT but not boiling. It's just right. I always heat my cream in the microwave before I add my coffee to the cup so I have nicely HOT coffee.

This sounds like a defect to me. I would contact Hamilton or see if Amazon can replace the coffee pot. I've never had this problem.

All I know is our coffee started to come out slower and I tried to clean it and it helped a little, did you check in your manual ? Or go to the Hamilton Beach website and see if they have parts info. Our machine started to leak so we had to toss it out this was the third we had. We bought a Keurig and absolutely love it...

There is no water that is heated after the coffee is made. The carafe is insulated so it is designed to keep the coffee warm without heating after the coffee is made.

There is a stop valve that is engaged when the coffee pot is not in place. Perhaps that valve is not properly pushed up when you put the coffee pot in its spot.

Sandy, I had this coffee machine... IT STINKS.. to put it mildly. Same problem you are having. I loved the coffee but the pot was a pain to deal with. The only model worth the money and I'd buy it over and over again is the "Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit" Believe me, get the 48464 and you will not be disappointed one bit. GREAT COFFEE, NO LEAKING, NO PROBLEMS... I THINK IT IS BEST TO START OUT WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE SO YOU WILL NEVER BE WEAK ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THAT MODEL AGAIN.GET RID OF THIS ONE AND GET THE ONE I HAVE. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY....

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

Mine made cool coffee. The water didn't heat enough to extract the coffee properly. That's why I returned it.

Haven't noticed. Is the coffee bean/roast one you typically drink? You shouldn't use boiling water too as it may burn the ground.

Not really. It is a simple ceramic pot. If you fill the pot with boiling water before you make the coffee your coffee will stay warmer longer, because then you will have pre-heated the interior of the pot. But there is noting special about the warming characteristics of the pot. Stay near a microwave as you use drink the coffee.

If it leaks from the lid when you pour, there are two things assuming the coffee maker does not have a defect. First, pour a bit slowly. Second, when getting the last bit from the pot, take off the lid and then those last drops will come out under control. We like out coffee maker.

I have had no issues with the Carafe leaking. My only issue is that the coffee does not stay hot very long

Try to do the cleaning cycle again, could just be a simple malfunction. I've never had that problem. I love my DeLonghi Coffee Maker, it makes the best coffee, but I have a problem with spilling coffee when I'm pouring a cup. I believe it's the engineering of the pot.

I haven't had any problem with mine but if is leaking something other than coffee I would sure return it!!!!

Not too clear on your question. If there is no K Cup you get hot water. If there is an old K Cup that has been used you get lousy coffee. How do you know it is clogged?
