I like my coffee very hot and strong. In your opinion, does this coffee maker make very HOT and STRONG coffee?

It makes pretty hot coffee, at least to me. I have both the one with the stainless steel carafe & another with the glass carafe. I think the stainless one keeps the coffee a bit hotter after the 1st cup. For me, these little coffee makers produce about 2 mugs of coffee. I also like my coffee strong so I use somewhere around 6 level TBS in either maker. Hope this helps!

I have a ten year old Braun 12 cup at work, and it certainly makes hotter, and stronger coffee. It also cost quite a bit more, about 4.5 times the price. I use the HB 5 cup at home, and I feel it is hot enough and strong enough, I still have to let it cool 5 or 10 minutes before drinking. I usually just throw an extra scoop in. I think it's a great machine for the money.

The coffee was hot enough, the problem I had was pouring into a cup. Had to pour over the sink as the pour spout was poorly designed. Therefore I wasted more coffee then I drank. Used it three times, put it back in the box and bought a Kurig which is wonderful

I too like strong bot coffee For strength, add a littleextra. Coffee does stay hot in the 45 minutes it takes for me to drink 2 big mugs . It is a cheap machine, bit works well if you are not looking for any featured, metal pot helps, but is thin. Will use this tip it breaks. Then buy something better

Like any other electronic device that uses an electric heating element it's affected by room temperature. Naturally the smaller a machine is and/or the more liquid it contains the harder it is for the element to keep it steaming hot. It makes coffee that comes out steaming hot and when I have been in a rush to drink I've burned my tongue. As for strength of coffee it's quite capable of delivering a dark rich eye opening brew even with less expensive blends if you go heavy on the scoops. I use it with 8 O'CLOCK original, Joe's Donut House and even Chock Full of Nuts Original with great results. I've got it loaded now and will be pressing the on switch shortly.

I like my coffee medium strength, so don't know how strong it will make coffee. Hot--yes, but I don't think it could be termed "boiling" hot.

It is not scalding hot, but hot enough. The coffee maker allows you to brew regular or strong. Of course the strength of the coffee is a function of the volume of coffee and water. It is good for our taste though.

You can create a bolder brew with a "strong" setting - I use a refillable adaptor so I brew the strength I want (cheaper, too because I can buy packaged coffee)

My coffee is HOT when I set the timer for the next morning. I fill it with cold water the night before and when I wakeup, the coffee is HOT!! Do not use the 4 cup button for 6 cups.

Hi M. Kelly...........I love my Warning Coffee Maker. I use any grind that I want and I especially like the fine grind - works great! What is really nice about this coffee maker is that the carafe does not drip like most makers today.

Very hot, better than any other coffee pot I have ever had. I will never use a drip coffee maker again. Will always use a percolator. Hot and good

i agree with you, it might be hot at first, then it cools down much to fast, they need to make the temp higher on these machines. coffee should be enjoyed hot over time, and not chugged down like a shot and a beer before nascar party.

Yes I would say the coffee is plenty hot. Main issue is how the beans feed into the grinder - it's not as automatic as it should be. You generally have to help feed the beans into the grinder.

It makes good hot coffee. Only problem with the unit is that it shuts off too fast so you have to keep turning it back on to keep the coffee hot.

No, the coffee does not stay hot. I am not happy with the Tim Horton Bunn coffee maker. I am presently considering something else.

Hi, dear Friend, I bought one, six months Ago, and always make a good coffe, and comes out really, really hot. In his cup the coffe remain hoy at least for 45 min

I don't know about making it hotter but it is plenty hot when it comes out. As for making it stronger, yes. There are three buttons for coffee sizes, about 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup and full cup. For a stronger cup push the 1/4 size cup. After it's done, click it again and new beans will be ground with more caffeine. Do this as many times as you want. Tom

Yes. The Coffee is Very hot After Brewing But You Can Always "Reheat" And Froth More By Selecting The "Froth" Button. My Kids Even Like This With Their Hot Chocolate And Have Gotten Very Creative. Enjoy

That was my main concern too when I bought a bunn last year after spending weeks trying to pick a new coffee maker. I like strong, flavorful coffee (love starbucks brewed). I was worried it would be too watery and weak. It's not! I love my bunn now, best home coffee maker imo and ive been through them all. It makes the best tasting coffee. I grind my coffee pretty fine just to make sure it's as strong as I like it. I do think the main difference with the bunn, like they claim, is the temperature the water is for brewing. It really does seem to extract the best flavor from the coffee.

I have found that it brews best at the 4 cup mark. The coffee is wonderfully hot, just the way I like it. It takes a little longer than your standard electric --- but well worth the extra couple of minutes it takes.
