How hot is the water as it goes onto the ground coffee? (the "brew" temp) Thanks

I measured the temperature on my unit. If one opens the top while the coffee is brewing, it will not continue the hot water up through the shower fixture, and the temperature may be measured with an instant read thermometer. Mine read 202 degrees Fahrenheit.

No answer in the documentation. However, since this is a "shower head" type dispersion system, I think it is NOT as hot as it should be for optimal brewing (around 208 degrees). I have owned this product for over a year and am disappointed in its performance. In fact, I've decided to return to a $40 Presto stainless steel 12-cup percolator BECAUSE of my dissatisfaction and the fact that the water is NOT hot enough to brew properly. Hope this helps.

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 am sorry I cannot find any information to answer this. I even looked on Cuisinart's website and it is not mentioned there either. From observation, the water is very hot, enough to seriously burn your mouth if you accidentally gulp instead of sip.

Yes, but, and the but is; Sometimes we (my wife & I) think that the water didn't get hot enough during the brew process. It has to get really hot to make good coffee. We are thinking of going back to perc.

The brewed temperature is very good..The taste depends on the brand of coffee used. So far all brands have brewed well..

Temperature is as hot as my stovetop will go. After the water heats and steams upwards and drips back through the grounds then its done. I do not let it sit on the stove after that for further heating of the pot. Some coffee beans work better than others and some grinds work best. It took some playing around to find my favorites.

I don't know the brewing temp, but it brews very good coffee. The top doesn't close down tightly...they don't address the basket liner size well so it interferes with closure, plus over time the top warps a little, so there is quits a bit of steam escape... requiring 'adjusting up' the amount of water you put in the tank. This steam leak was true of each of the 3 of this model... to varying degrees. The little quality control and design issues were not deal breakers for me, because the coffee is so good.

It's pretty hot. As a daily coffee drinker the coffee temperature seems good to me.

The brew belt should reach temperatures of 75-80 degrees. It's normal that it should feel too hot to the touch.

The coffee is very hot, but I have not used a thermometer to actually measure the temp. As for the taste it brews an excellent pot of coffee on the 'strong' setting. I have not used the maker on normal setting. Bill

It goes to a full boil, i.e. 212.5F. I have a barista's thermometer stuck in one of the vent holes in the lid. That works great. Once it gets to a temperature, with the lid on, it will stay at that temp for a good while.

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 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.

Bring the water to a boil then turn the heat off and pour hot water through the empty filter to rinse it and warm the flask. Dump the rinse water, add 20 g ground coffee to the filter and pour, stirring, until the coffee reaches the bottom of the "3 cup" engraving on the flask. This makes a perfect mug of coffee. The water should be initially between 190 and 200 F.

The 1st thing I do every morning is turn on the Bunn. Takes about 10 min & water is as hot it would ever have been left on. By the time you grind & get stuff ready it's hot. I didn't like it being on all day either. The water you put in today makes tomorrows coffee!!

I measured mine with a thermometer. Right after the "on" light comes on, the brew is a very hot 195 degrees F.

I just purchased this coffee brewer last week. Today, I had my second cup almost two hours after brewing the pot; the coffee was still hot!
