Can you put this coffee maker on a hot pad on low to keep it warm?

Sowden recommends a candle warmer to keep the pot warm, not a hot plate, other electrical device. If you pre-heat the pot with boiling water prior to brewing -- and you should for better brewed coffee -- the pot will keep warm for roughly 20 minutes. Sowden states that the coffee is kept at an acceptable drinking temperature (70° to 85° C) for up to 20 minutes. http://www.sowdenathome.com/sowden-softbrew-coffee-frequently-asked-questions/

Tom: This is a porcelain pot (ceramic) so I suspect that you "could" put it on a warmer (if you mean electric hot plate). However, since there is a metal strainer inside, I would probably take the strainer out, leaving just the coffee. The pot that I got makes about two 8 oz cups (I'm guessing) and I generally drink it all in one sitting. It's a beautiful pot and I don't believe it was made to hold coffee for a long period of time. I also brew tea in the pot.

its made from porcelain and the bottom is more or less eliptic. So you can put it on a plate large enough, which is not too hot. Do the same what you would do with a plate of porcelain.

I have not introduced a heating element and I'm not sure they recommend that. I have poured in some hot water into the porcelain jug first to preheat it which can help to keep the coffee hotter longer.

No. The only way to use is to boil one cup....or actually 10 oz. To allow for boil off loss, place two tablespoons of coffee per cup in metal filter. Pour boiling water into filter slowly, then stir & let sit for like 3 to 5 minutes

Yes, you can brew less than a carafe by adjusting the amount of water (and coffee). I do it all the time.

If you leave it turned on yes. However, like any other coffee pot (not a carafe) if you shut it off it will go cold eventually. This coffee pot was bought for my wife and for $40.00 she says its worth it. She wanted a filter with a cone shape as it makes better coffee but you cannot touch a good one for this price. Hope this helped.

Yes. The burner must be turned off immediately after brewing completes to protect the user, the coffeemaker and surroundings. After the initial serving, either a separate source of heat or insulated container would be needed to keep coffee warm.

I no longer use this coffee maker. It developed a leak (after warrantY0, but as I recall, it shuts off automatically. The coffee then sets in the thermal carafe and the pad under the carafe is not powered. I found the coffee was better when I warmed the carafe with hot water before making coffee. I replaced it with a KRUPS. I do not need a timer so it is pretty simple, the way I like.

Yes but I would put the pad in a pillowcase and put a hand towel over the pad as it gets quite hot even on the lowest setting.

For safety, you shouldn't allow the bottom burner to remain on. I don't think the bottom of the thermal carafe is designed for the heat.

YES! I do that all the time to warm up the pot before putting the coffee in it.

This machine does not have a warming plate like a Mr.Coffee. It might help using the stainless pot instead of the glass one

Yes you can, it doesn't get hot enough, the heat radiates from the bottom and it is just a nice warm heat, not hot.

Frank, my wife loves coffee and so do I. The temperature after brewing (and even after letting the coffee stand for awhile) is much too low. Hot??? ...not a chance. Like the size of this unit but the performance leave MUCH to be desired. Suggestion....look elsewhere.

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 a warming plate in the unit that keeps the coffee pot warm. There is no warming plate for the one-cup side. Note that I had my unit only a few months when the heating element quit working and I had to get a hole new coffee maker.

Yes, any source of heat will work ...If the heat is too high, coffee may have a burnt taste. Getting the optimum temperature for brewing may take some trial and error.

No, it just keeps it warm. You can't adjust the temperature, it just turns on or off. My dad uses it to keep his coffee hot on long trips. Hope this helps!

Yes. It won't be as robust or bitey as when using hot water, and you may want to try the "upside down" method to let the grounds steep for a while. Check Youtube videos to clarify.

Not to my knowledge. I would put less water for a smaller amount of coffee. This coffee maker lasted less then six months. I have given up on Mr.Coffee makers
