How can I make a hot cup of coffee? The coffee isn't very hot and this is very disappointing. Someone suggested turning off the auto off. Is this poss

I recommend calling Mr. Coffee directly. Maybe they have received other complaints from people having the same problem. In my experience, Mr. Coffee is a customer friendly company.

The problem is that the coffee pot itself is cold and chills the coffee as it is being made. The only way to get hot coffee is to put very hot water in the coffee pot and let the water sit for about 5 minutes warming the carafe -- empty the water and immediately make your coffee. The coffee will be much hotter.

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.

There was a leaflet in mine saying to put hot water in the pot, then dump it out and make the coffee. The idea is to pre-heat the pot.

Haven't had this problem, but then I don't use the auto brew feature. You could try pre-heating the pot with really hot tap water for about 5 minutes, similar to pre-heating a tea pot. Fix the filter & coffee grounds while the pot heats. Pour the hot water out of the pot just before you press the start button to brew the coffee.

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.

This coffee maker automatically shuts off when done brewing because there is no heat plate under the pot. It makes hot coffee that goes into the insulated pot and stays hot there without a hotplate. My coffee seems to be quite hot, even staying hot for several hours in the thermal pot. Maybe your machine is defective?

I have this coffee pot, I bought last year. It works fantastic and keeps my coffee hot. Are you closing the lid tightly after pouring a cup of coffee? I wonder if the seal on your lid is maybe defective.

Turning off the auto off? I have no idea.....I filled the pot with hot water to heat it up while I was setting up the coffee & water empty the pot when you start the brew.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

No temp adjust for the hotplate like on the last Cuisinart I owned, but I always had that one on "high" anyway. The coffee is hot. Consumer Reports rates these and a specific Mr. Coffee model in the top because they sustain the proper brewing temp to extract the best flavor from the grounds. There are probably cheaper makers that will be serviceable, but I have had good luck with my last Cuisinart, I prefer a cone filter rather than a basket, I grind my own coffee and this one does offer 4 different brew strengths to fine tune your brew (Reg, Bold, Reg 1-4 cup, Bold 1-4 cup).

To make coffee bout 20 mins. To heat coffee the next day without filter and stem is 5 mind. No auto shut off

True! I have to heat the coffee after it poured! I use the hot water steamer to make instant coffee, which is very hot!

No, it doesn't. I've accidentally left mine turned on a couple of times over the last couple of years and it hasn't hurt it or anything else. But then there was nothing else touching it either. I'm very thankful that it doesn't have an auto turn off on it anyway as I keep a cup of coffee on mine for anywhere from 6 or more hours straight and if it did turn off, my coffee would get cold. I love my coffee warmer and can't imagine not having it anymore!

No. It does not have that option. I think the best way to get your cup warm is by putting hot water in the cup prior to your first cup of coffee.

There is no heating element to keep the coffee hot once brewed. It has a carafe that keeps the coffee hot. I have had a cup two hours after brewing and it is still hot. The water in the brewing process is heated to about 200 degrees. Highly recommend this product.

If this helps, the coffee maker was great in every way, except coffee temperature. It just did not brew it hot enough (150 degrees) for my liking.

honestly - I dont use mine because it does not get my coffee hot, its a piece of crap!!

Yes, this coffee maker makes one of the best cups of camp coffee I have ever had, don't burn yourself. the Maker bottom gets VERY hot while brewing, I got the metal cravat, in cold weather it does cool fast once you shut it off.

You can drink it hot or cold - the sample menu of drink options included with the directions tells you how to make either hot or cold drinks (including a good ol' fashioned cup of hot coffee). I find that you may want to play with the proportions they suggest to get a given drink just the way you like it. And I found that pretty easy to do for myself. :-)

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

My apologies, I don't know. I can tell you that it is hot cup of coffee within about 30 minutes of brewing. After that, it appears that the carafe does not hold temperature very long. I would say about an hour more or less. Aside from that, it does make a good cup of coffee.

I don't know what the temperature of the coffee mug is. I do not try to get Cold coffee warm on my warmer. When I make my coffee in the morning I put it on the warmer and it stays perfect the entire time I am drinking it. I don't think it is meant to make a cold cup of coffee hot.

I had that problem the first time I used mine, cause the coffee did not stay hot. I then put the lever down when not in use and it keep the coffee hotter. Its hard to explain but on the lever that keeps the pump up, just flip that thing back and the pump will go back down in the closed position again. Sorry hard to explain, hope that helps.

Yes! As a matter of fact, I am drinking my second cup right now, 30 minutes after making the coffee. It's hot! The warmer goes off automatically after one hour.
