Can it do hot coffee too?? I don't own a regular coffee machine & was wondering if this one can be used to brew hot coffee as well - before it goes into the blending with ice mode?

it's made to brew into the pitcher which would be waiting with ingredients and then go on to mix them up. but you should be able to brew into an empty pitcher and wait for the cycle to end (at which point your coffee will have been through a wild ride) and pour just the coffee, but it only makes 1/2 a cup at a time. it doesn't have the capacity to make more than required for the frappe.

I was going to ask the same question. Can this be used to make regular hot coffee as well? I don't have alot of counter space.

Yes, you can I have used it that way. all you have to do is turn it off after it brews...don't add ice so once the automatic blend cycle starts it's only coffee. Hope that helps.

You need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time

yes you can. There's a separate button for heating. It doesn't get as hot as I like it, but may suit you. Please be aware that I am not recommending this product. I wrote a negative review about its quality. It stopped "spinning" 3 weeks after I first purchased it. Of course I called because it was still under warranty. They replaced it BUT I HAD TO PAY THE SHIPPING to return the non-functional unit. The second one has stopped working after ~ six months. It's still under warranty, but they said I would still have to pay the shipping. I'm not replacing it and gave it a bad review. It's too bad. I really enjoyed my home-made lattes. But their return policy is wrong and i won't support them. More than you asked, but thought you should know. hope it helps.

??? You then nuke the cold coffee so that you can have a hot cuppa. When I am in a hurry, I run hot tap water into it, that way it brews quicker, I have had excellent coffee three hours later. I can always have hot drinks. If I shared workspace with a tolerant Mormon, that would be a good subject for discussion.

Coffee machines don't take ice it needs a blender to do the frappe part of the drink. You would have to do the coffee part in the coffee maker And then transfer it over to a blender and put all the blending stuff in there. Where as this machine does it all in one.

No it does not brew cold coffee straight out of the machine. It needs to be brewed over a cup of ice. They do have discs made specifically for iced coffee. I think they are stronger than using just a regular coffee disc.

No. The coffee makers should only be used to brew coffee or heat water for instant beverages. Preparing other hot beverages such as apple cider, hot chocolate or tea can damage the heating unit and voids the warranty.

No iced anything option on mine...however, my machine does deliver hot coffee consistently - too hot for me to drink right away.

Although I have had other problems with this coffee maker, I have never had that problem. The coffee is always very hot. There is no button to regulate the temperature of the coffee. You should call the manufacturer. They will send you a box to ship the device to repair. Be prepared to be without it for at least six weeks!

Frank, my wife loves coffee and so do I. The temperature after brewing (and even after letting the coffee stand for awhile) is much too low. Hot??? ...not a chance. Like the size of this unit but the performance leave MUCH to be desired. Suggestion....look elsewhere.

It is used for extremely hot tea so yes It can be used for hot coffee. I don't think it's a good idea to actually boil the water in the cup though.

Yes, you can use this machine for hot water on demand by using the yellow cleaning disc. You may have to cycle it twice to get a full cup. That said, the quality of Tassimo coffee makers has declined since their first models came onto the market. I've had this model a few months and it is inconsistent and leaks water under the unit. Be sure of the return policy of the seller. I tried to return my defective coffee maker and the seller refused it, stating that they do not accept return of used items.

As usual, you would use cold water in preparing the coffee to perk, but I can assure you that the finished product is hot, hot, hot! Not lukewarm, or sorta hot, but truly hot!

I can't! I have shopped many many coffee makers and NONE of them brews really hot except the commercial Bunns. I even check the voltages, thinking the highest will brew hotter, but they don't seem to. I do brew on "strong" flavor and leave hot plate on lowest heat so it won't boil the coffee. And pop my cup of coffee into the microwave. Nuisance but otherwise really like my coffee maker.

Hello Chenyi, This coffee pot was intended for cold use only. The reason being that the fine mesh filter soaks in the water to infuse a concentrated flavor. If you buy a coffee press, this is intended for hot coffee but can be used for cold. The press is the ultimate for hot coffee, and the cold brew Japanese method for cold.

I mainly use it for my cold protein shakes and have not tried hot beverages, I'm sorry I couldn't help. I do love it for cold drinks and my shakes though:)

I just bought mine yesterday and that question was a huge concern for me. I just returned a Mr. Coffee Keurig machine that I paid $80 for because I was unhappy with the water/coffee temperature. I measured the temperature of the coffee sitting on the burner of my Bunn, it was 175 degrees. I was curious about this one right away, so I measured it and it comes out very hot at 178 degrees! So adding your cold creamer, milk, cream won't cool it down to lukewarm. You'll still be able to enjoy a hot cup of coffee with this machine.
