Does the coffee stay hot? I like hot coffee that doesn't get cold 5 minutes after you pour your cup. Should I consider a Cuisinart?

No, the coffee does not stay hot. I am not happy with the Tim Horton Bunn coffee maker. I am presently considering something else.

I think this could be determined by your cup, but the coffee is hot enough for me.

This maker has a built in warming surface that the pot sits on during and after brew. This warming pad has it's own switch to be turned on or off. This will keep your coffee warm for as long as you need. I bought this for my father who Works Pipe lines out West (Alberta Canada) where they see some very cold weather and he uses this every day. I should also mention I grew up knowing if my dad's coffee wasn't at the point of burning your tounge he didn't want it lol.Cheers,I just noticed the comment below and they must not use there warming pad.

Just be sure that you don't turn off the water tank heater by accident (this is the basic power switch on the side of the unit). It is to stay on at all times except if you are going away for several days etc. then follow directions in the manual. Otherwise, if the warming pad under the pot is on (you turn this on on only when brewing a pot) then you coffee stays quite hot!

I agree. The thermal carafe is a major shortcoming; coffee is only lukewarm after one hour. Why is it that my $10 thermos from CVS keeps coffee HOT for 5 hours. One writer has the right idea: heat the carafe with very hot water before brewing. Had I known this I would not have bought this product --- the 2nd Cuisinart appliance I purchased that did not fulfill its promise (the other one being the fairly wretched waffle-maker.) No more Cuisinarts for me!

I make my coffee and while it brews fill the thermos with very hot water put lid on and leave sit until coffee done brewing then pour it in heated thermos...I have had very warm coffee for about 5-6 hours...the warmer thermos is when you pour in liquid and temperature of starting liquid will affect length of time & temp of things input...

The coffee maker has a heating element inside it, but I always turn off the coffee maker the second it's done brewing because otherwise the coffee tastes burnt -- terrible. I don't know if you're turning off the machine but if so there's no mechanism for the coffee to stay hot -- the only mechanism is that heating element in the coffee container, which makes the coffee taste bad! Not a good design.

We've found this to be true, the coffee stays hot enough for us anyway! Hope this helps

Hi Jeri. I preheat the pot using hot water from my instant hot tap, the same water I use to pour over the coffee. it is ceramic so it does keep it relatively hot, it won't stay hot for hours, but still at a good temperature for about an hour.

Mine works really well, nothing was broken, everything works as it's supposed to. Coffee is brewed very quickly and it stays hot for a good amount of time. Set up is easy and coffee tastes great. I would recommend, although I have read about others experiencing malfunctions. Not sure why? Mine has been just as I expected and hoped for.

Yes. I stays hot for as long as I need it too. I tend to let my coffee get cold and never finish a cup so Ilooked for a cup warmer and took a chance on this one. It works VERY WELL. I hope you find it to your satisfaction as well.

The Carafe does will keep the coffee hot for a few hours. I come home from work and it is lukewarm after 12 hours. Zap it in the microwave if you need to.

No and no. There is no keep warm feature. As soon as the coffee is brewed it shuts itself off. The carafe is lined to keep the coffee hot and it does a great job. I prefer the automatic shut off.

Yes. The Coffee is Very hot After Brewing But You Can Always "Reheat" And Froth More By Selecting The "Froth" Button. My Kids Even Like This With Their Hot Chocolate And Have Gotten Very Creative. Enjoy

Hi, Kathy. I looked a long time for a coffee maker that that was if good quality and had a thermal carafe that would keep the coffee reasonable hot/warm all morning. I didn't want a hot plate heater, as the coffee didn't taste very good after a few hours and they would use a lot of electricity. I worried that the Bunn would use a lot of electricity with it's instant hot water reservoir, but my bill doesn't show any change because it is well insolated. I have been very happy with my choice. I'm 85 and I have seen lots more coffee makers than most folks.Regards, hope this is helpful, OldHenry Hi, Kathy.

Coffee stays quite hot for a couple hours. This is not an all-day thermos. It keeps my morning coffee hot until it is gone. I don't notice any decline in flavor over that time span.

If I prime the cup before putting hot coffee in with a small amount of boiling water (as I'd do with any double walled container) it will keep hot coffee hot for the better part of a work day. Not piping hot, as it does lose a lot of heat through the lid, but it's hot until lunch and warm in the afternoon. However, I'd put ice and water in mine and let it sit over night and gotten up the next morning to still have ice in the tumbler. (This is all to say, yes much longer than plastic, especially if you prime it with boiling water first.)

Yes, you have to unscrew the lid in order to pour the coffee. You also must tighten the lid in order to keep the coffee hot for any length of time. If you leave the lid loose, the coffee cools off in about 15 minutes.

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!
