Does it make hot coffee

Anna, I'm not trying to be a smart ass but you should READ THE MANUAL...It does make hot chocolate and be sure to run it once without any product after you are done to clean the machine.....All in the manual...

YES - if you press the button to turn it on and wait till it indicates that its heated.

Yes. I don't think it's quite as hot as a traditional coffee maker with a warming plate, but it's close to it. I haven't had a problem finishing my cup while it's still warm unless I'm running around the house while drinking it. I had it in a Contigo travel mug the other day and it stayed quite hot for a long time (enough to burn my tongue a few times :)).

H Tom. It does have a heated hot plate that shuts off automatically. I thought it was very weird to have a hot plate under a thermal carafe, but it works. My goal was coffee that was really hot and stayed really hot for the first 45 minutes, and it does that. We have no regrets.

Yes, it does. The problem though is that it does not turn itself off and so the coffee while staying hot gets old tasting because it is heated continuously. I purchased another brand that turns itself off. I actually like it better. I also found that after about a year, my Mr. Coffee's tended to not work anymore.

Yes... A single cup of coffee is hot as the machine pre-warms for about one minute. The carafe does not stay hot if the warmer place is not on as it is a fairly standard glass carafe. If you don't like the use of a warmer, I recommend getting a insulated coffee vacuum carafe. Alfi makes some great ones that keep coffee warm for eight hours or more. However, I have never noticed a burnt taste imparted by the hotplate on this machine.

No it does not. The base of the maker is plastic. The brewed and heated coffee is kept in the caraf. It keeps the coffee warm for approxiimately 8-10 hours.

No-the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps the coffee very hot

It is not scalding hot, but hot enough. The coffee maker allows you to brew regular or strong. Of course the strength of the coffee is a function of the volume of coffee and water. It is good for our taste though.

I agree that the coffee is not really hot enough. The solution is to heat the pot with hot tap water or even a hot spot before starting the coffee. However, this doesn't work if you put the coffee together the night before and want to simply push start in the morning. Than being said, slightly cooler coffee beats old and burnt any day.

Yes it does, I have purchased many coffee makers and returned just as many because they did not brew hot coffee. This is my second Krups , and I will never buy any another brand.

Its not very hot at first. Hot but not very hot. The coffee will cool quick when poured into a cold mug.

To me it does.not.seem very loud, and it also pretty fast so the noise it does.make is about 20 zeconds for 6 cups of coffee. I am very happy witth it.

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. The coffee is definitely hot in both single cup and pot form. The carafe itself is just glass...not insulated or anything, so without leaving the hot plate on the coffe maker on it wouldn't stay hot. I don't know if the plate would turn off after a while... I haven't kept it hot for longer than a couple hours.

I don't know about making it hotter but it is plenty hot when it comes out. As for making it stronger, yes. There are three buttons for coffee sizes, about 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup and full cup. For a stronger cup push the 1/4 size cup. After it's done, click it again and new beans will be ground with more caffeine. Do this as many times as you want. Tom

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.

Hi No it does not. That is one of the reasons the coffee stays so nice. The thermal does it job, and you have no burnt taste. If you put hot water in the carafe first and keep it in there for a few minutes, it will keep the coffee nice and hot for hours. Hope this helps.

I find that my coffee is hot enough when it's finished. As far as I know, there is no button to make it hotter.
