One last question: On the pause and serve, does the machine end up dripping coffee on the hot plate? That is one of my huge pet peeves!

absolutely not..........I actually have no complaints about the Warning and it goes all the time as we drink a lot of coffee in this house.

Ours has yet to drip. Only flaw is rather small opening in which to fill without some spillage but then I'm a shaky dude.

Let the water clear the grounds and there is no drip! The basket is designed to minimize the problem good luck!

I have not seen any dripping. I let the coffee settle for a and then pour it. That is because I start to prepare breakfast and the last thing I do is pour the coffee. Even if I am only serving coffee, I get the cups out and etc., then pour the coffee at the table. This again gives some time to settle. This is the best coffee pot I ever owned. Warning....The coffee comes out very hot and stays hot in the pot for a long time. Hope this was useful.

If you slowly remove the carafe, it rarely drips. If you are quick about removing the carafe, that's why napkins/paper towels were invented! :-) Had this machine for almost 1 year, and it's the best one I've ever had...I've had machines that cost 5 times what I paid for this one that did not perform as well as the Waring.

If you mean, does it drip from the grounds if a cup is poured before brewing is complete, I would say yes, a drop or two. After brewing is complete and it has set a couple min., I'd say rarely and then, a drop.

I'm not really supplying an answer for you but when I go to fill with water to make a pot of coffee, the water starts filling at the travel mug line, it doesn't go down to the single serving where it should start for either pot or cup. so it won't make a pot of coffee or single serving. Also the booklet provided doesn't say anything about that the single lever should be pushed down when brewing a pot of coffee.

There is a lever on the brewing basket which regulates the flow of the coffee into the pot. It has settings of off, half on, and full on (up). That might be your problem.

The carafe should no leak and does have the pause and serve capabilities. If you are experiencing any problems please contact us at www.mrcoffee.com/contactus.

We had the same problem, it never stopped. We felt the coffee was boiling, and tasted bad. Finally got rid of the machine. Too bad it was something we really wanted, but it just didn't deliver.

No, I have had no problems with dripping while pouring. I make a pot of coffee in the morning and while it is brewing I put hot water in this carafe. After I pour my first cup of coffee in my cup I transfer the coffee to this carafe. It is hot into the afternoon and still very warm in the early evening.

No it does not and it bothers me. However, it doesn't continue to cook the coffee as traditional coffee makers do. It does not have a hot plate. The carafe keeps the coffee hot without a hot plate. I left the coffee maker on all weekend and it doesn't hurt a thing.

I have not had this problem. When it is turned on and getting warmed up it will some times drizzle out from where the coffee comes. But my machine hasn't leaked.

Lana, no beep. It takes 10 minutes or less. Youcan draw a cup while brewing & it stops dripping because of a mechanism that stops the flow. The caraffe is super insulated. No need for a warming plate.

Our machine seems to make it hot (hot enough that I can't hold the glass cup bottom). I will say, though, that the FIRST espresso after we turn it on seems cooler than the subsequent attempts (still very warm; just not hot). I imagine there is some water in the lines that isn't heated, but I don't know that.

No. It is just a basic 5 cup drip coffee maker. I believe a programmable coffee maker would've that pause feature.

It's hot enough for me, but I'm not a coffee connoisseur. It is hotter than my old Braun coffee make, but it was OLD and finally broke. Definitely does not rely on the plate to make the coffee hotter. But the plate does keep the coffee hot enough in my opinion, especially for what it is - a $25 coffee maker. I'm very happy with it, YMMV.

I have found condensation does tend to drip down the back when you open the lid to remove the basket. I put some paper towels under the machine when I set it up because I read other reviews with this problem. The coffee this machine makes is so good I'm willing to overlook a little leaking condensation issue.

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

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 have not found that to be an issue. You just have to tip it further over to get the last of the coffee strained through

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.
