to me it tastes as bad as sugar in cold coffee....so I couldn't tell you. other than, I can taste the difference in most sugar items---they all have their own distinct flavor.

I don't know why it would taste bad. I have used it to sprinkle on cold foods and it tastes great

That's what we use it for. After writing the review, I called customer service and requested an exchange, hoping that this one was defective. I post a new review when I receive and try the new one. As it is, you can make tea. If you add a lot of cold creamer to your coffee, you may find that it is not hot enough.

You need to make sure that the filter, holder for filter are in tight and the lid stays closed. My husband doesn't have a problem with temperature, he says it is the best coffee pot he has ever had and coffee stays hot from first to third cup

The brewed coffee does come out hot (over ice) but it brews stronger than brewing normal hot coffee. The ice is somewhat melted during the process but the instructions do tell you how much coffee to add, how much water to add, and how much ice to add. So the end result is a iced coffee that tastes good. You can also use more or less coffee grounds (up to a certain max fill line) if you choose but I usually fill it up to the max fill line and have no problems.

I have had hot coffee the next day. I love this container and would buy another one. I always fill with hottest water from faucet and put cap on it while my coffee is brewing. I haven't used it for cold but it stands to reason if you fill it with coldwater and ice and let it sit for 5 min. then put what ever you want to keep cold.

I have had my CM-688 for about two years. When new, the temperature in the brew basket was about 195*F. I find thata thick cold mug will cool the coffee too much for my taste so I prewarm the mug. I also use room temperature water sincewater from the faucet in winter seems to affect the brew. Water from the faucet in summer is fine.I checked the temperature in the brew basket this morning and it was about 204*F. By the time a 10oz brew hadfinished, the temp in the mug was 170*F.

I wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.

I can't say in degrees but it got warm to the touch but not warm enough to keep a beverage in a cup warm. It has to get hot enough to penetrate a coffe/tea mug in order to keep the liquid warm. But it just didn't do that. So my coffee would get all cold & icky

The biggest flaw I found is that the mug is not well insulated and dissipates a lot of heat. I bought a better one at Bed, Bath and Beyond and now my coffee stays hot for hours. What is your specific concern?

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.

I never once had an issue with the temperature being low. If anything, I've always added a little water too cool it off. I don't care for scalding hot coffee though.

The fluid coming out of my coffee maker measures approximately 150 degrees with two different thermometers. That was into a cold container so I would think it would be a little hotter directly from the machine.

I bought it for a gift for some one and to be perfectly honest with I don't even like coffee. If I had to guess I would say you need to clean it out with some vinegar. However before I did that I would look on thier web site and see if they could give you some help or contact the company directly for some more anwers. I hope this helps you out...steve

yes, brews stronger though, so although it melts the ice somewhat the "iced" coffee tastes good and is cold.

Freeze your coffee so it isn't watered down. I don't see why not. You'll have to play around with it. The machine is very loud and slow but I'm still liking it.

I myself have no problem with the coffee temperature. I always warm up the coffee cup with hot water first, dump out the hot water, then make the coffee. Easy breezy.

The coffee is hot when made. Then, due to the laws of thermal dynamics, it slowly cools to an equilibrium between the coffee and the outside environment the insulated pot is in. There is no button to press that can counter these basic laws of physics.
