Has anyone measured the brewing temperature of the water. Is it close to that 195-205 range?

Yes, I measured the temp. and it is not at all near that range. That's why I sent mine back!

I have not taken the temperature of the coffee. The manufacturer claims it to be 200 degrees. I just wanted a good cup of coffee and this gives it to me. As long as it does so, I have no complaints, and no need to question or verify the claims of the manufacturer.

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine. Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

With regards to the question of measuring surface temperature of a pool or lake, and ice or boiling water, I have attempted some of those tasks with some success. Please note that the "emissivity" affects the accuracy of the reading. When trying to measure the temperature of boiling water, in a pot or saucepan, I got readings in the 95 - 100 degress C range. The steam that rises from the water affects the accuracy of the reading also, so a few attempts may be required. I have measured the temperature of a number of frozen objects in the home freezer, and I got reasonable values; values were about -15 to -20 degrees C, which is about what one expects. The depth of the liquid appears the affect the accuracy of the reading. The deeper the liquid, then the reading is more accurate. Measurement of oil temperature in an large open fat fryer gave me readings of about 170 - 180 degrees C, which compares well with other instrument results. The the instrument manual indicates the importance of the emissivity values of the object of which the temperature is to be measure, I have found that generally the instrument gave reasonable results "out of the box" without any emissivity value adjustments for a variety of surfaces. It is an excellent product for the price. Kind Regards, Dan D. 30-May-2015

agree with beerfest answers.susanne you can make the temps vary by reading previous post

No answer in the documentation. However, since this is a "shower head" type dispersion system, I think it is NOT as hot as it should be for optimal brewing (around 208 degrees). I have owned this product for over a year and am disappointed in its performance. In fact, I've decided to return to a $40 Presto stainless steel 12-cup percolator BECAUSE of my dissatisfaction and the fact that the water is NOT hot enough to brew properly. Hope this helps.

I only serve home brewed stouts on mine and I keep my beer at around 40 degrees and my nitrogen pressure at about 18-20 psi

I ran a pot of water thru without coffee to test temp and measured with a candy thermometer @ 170 degrees just out of the machine if that helps.

The one I received was pretty close about 0.2 if I remember correctly. It is not really an issue though as it comes with chemicals to mix calibration solutions. You just need to mix it with distilled water.

We have well water so our tap water is about 45 - 50 degrees. On initial fill, I guess it took a little less than an hour. We keep it set at the 208 degree set-point and try to refill it when it gets half empty (2 liters left). Adding the 2 liters brings the temp down to about 130 and then takes about 20 minutes to get back to the 208 set-point. Keep in mind, 1 liter is a lot of cups of either coffee/tea.

I don't know the brewing temp, but it brews very good coffee. The top doesn't close down tightly...they don't address the basket liner size well so it interferes with closure, plus over time the top warps a little, so there is quits a bit of steam escape... requiring 'adjusting up' the amount of water you put in the tank. This steam leak was true of each of the 3 of this model... to varying degrees. The little quality control and design issues were not deal breakers for me, because the coffee is so good.

I make a carafe full of pour over coffee every day in mine. I pour the water over the grounds at 205°F, so it probably hits the carafe at somewhere above 190°F. Works great!

I brew using the ebiab method. The pump does not work to its rated temperature of 230F. It shuts off at 205F. If your going to be using it at high temperature save your money and get one that actually works. If your going to be using cold water then this pump will work great. I contacted US Solar Pumps about my issue and they said that it is normal to shut off before the rated temperature and they would not exchange it for a new one. So beware, they do not have good customer support.

Ms. Maria, According to Roxygirl down below approximately 200 degrees which is what the Bunn states in their description of the unit. I personally have never tested it,(no thermometer!) but I assure you in all regards it is hotter than my old Keurig, cups are not only hotter but richer in flavor; I use pulse with all drawers if you have one. One of the main reasons I chose this unit was because of that temp and I have not been let down yet. Keep in mind though that they're are four drawers and all will affect temp. The hot water pass through & Keurig drawer are hottest because of quick pass through followed by pod & ground drawer. Now, I mostly use the grounds drawer with ultra fine ground so I am slowing down the brew process and the temp by default. So, if you were using the grind drawer and adding cream/sugar I'd have to say your temp could be less by 20-30degrees, maybe possibly more but still hotter than the Keruig or many other units. I love this machine though quirky, loud, and slightly messy at times; it tends to sputter when doing kcups but after 4 pots inc.. the Cruisinart Cadillac Unit I'll take Mr.Sputters any day of the week! Please forgive, I am a touch chatty and overly descriptive in my answers ;)&gt; ...

The internal tank holds the water temp at around 200F - just right for brewing at all times. Fast and reliable!

How would consumers know the answer unless they got their hands on a press release from Nespresso. Anyone think of asking them? I find if I use a hot cup then I don't have a problem with the temperature of the brew.

Well, while not being quiet from perhaps 130 or so degrees on the way up to perhaps 195, it's not as bad as other kettles I've had. It gets quieter once you get up near 200 degrees as it cycles on and off (and I think also uses a lower power setting, but I have no way to confirm). Our kitchen is right next to our bedroom, and when I fire it up it never wakes up my wife. This is the person who can sometimes hear my music through my headphones from the other end of the house in the living room, perhaps 100 feet away. So your mileage may vary. Not as quiet as a kettle on the stove, but I can't set a kettle on the stove for oolong tea temp (185 degrees) for an hour without dire consequences. It works great for me.
