What temperature does everyone brew their coffee? Mine seems to taste burnt with the default option.

We use the default option with no complaints. Perhaps it's the coffee you're using? Or try brewing a larger size cup for a more dilute brew.

I had this issue as well. I emailed customer service at Krups and they said "The settings are fine to coarse, left to right." I decided to see for myself and ground coffee at each of the extremes. Frankly they don't look that different, maybe the right-most setting seems more coarse, but it's not obvious. I'm wondering if my machine isn't working correctly.

This is a picture of the unit I have. I understand the confusion. I have had this for probably 3 years now and really like it. Makes great coffee of your choice. It stays hot(but the plate is never burning hot) for hours. No, there is no way to set the water temp. I had a water line put in the wall so that it automatically fills(I don't have to put in water-I am SO lazy!!)Please contact me if you have further questions

Honestly l´ve only used regular ground coffee, or fresh ground. I do own the Kerig coffee maker which I use for specialty coffees, but I still prefer the speculator. The temperature of the additional cups stays hot.

I do pour over coffee. The water temperature is around 200 degrees at time of brewing. It must be the thermos. Unless I'm missing something else. Do you drink it straight from the thermos or pour into a cup?

I've never had that problem. We've had the coffee maker for about 60 days, the coffee has always been hot, at the perfect temperature. Michael

No NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE COFFEE TEMPERATURE. It is at a prper drinking temperature. If you need super hot coffee you can use the Micro wave but it is not necessary.

It's hot, you don't need to heat up the freshly brewed coffee in the microwave....one hint, when you pour the coffee into your cup, lift the pot up high...otherwise it drips....I'm very happy with mine..and I love the colors.

Sorry Jason...as great a coffee maker as a friend boasts it is..I got a lemon and had to send it back..never even got to make the first brew...as a coffee lover, I am very disappointed for us both...better luck next time

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.

Tom is right (and you set the water volume for these buttons yourself by holding them). I always use a double shot! You can also alter both the grind size and strength on the bean grinder. You can't make the water temperature any different as it's pre set BUT you can use the steam nozzle to make your drink hotter i guess.. it's always been the perfect temperature for black coffee but I would always use hot milk otherwise the drink isn't hot enough.

just got mine out of the box and i'm having the same problem. the filter holder is hot, the steamer seems to be working, but water isn't going through. i thought i tamped the grounds too much, so i have now tried with a loose tamp and with no coffee grounds at all. All I get is a horrible noise. I'm very frustrated!

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 know what you are talking about -- I get a smell from mine. It is almost like a burnt plastic smell. It notice it when I clean up after making the coffee. It seems to be coming from the area where the filter and water is stored. It still makes a great cup of coffee so I tend to ignore the odor. I'm hoping it lessens overtime.

I have never tried to adjust the temp because it is just perfect. We have searched for years for a coffee maker that will make us HOT coffee. Not burning hot, but really good hot coffee. This is the only one we have ever found and we love it to pieces. I hope this answers your question. I recommend this is you are looking for a good hot cup of coffee.

I ran the 1st pot with just plain water (no coffee) and a filter to be sure it was clean. The second pot with new filter and coffee and since I like my coffee strong, I use a rounded tablespoon of coffee per 10 oz cup - seems to produce just what I like and I've not experienced weird taste and keep to the above proportion - try running a few pots of plain water w/filter to see it that helps/

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.
