Does anyone know how to turn the hot plate on after the 2-hours(yes, I know the coffee is better fresh)?

I don't think there is a way to turn the warmer on after the two hours. I've been removing the carafe and running 2 cups (the minimum for a carafe) into a small pot and discarding this water. This "resets" the clock and I just put my carafe of coffee back on the warmer. Yes, fresh coffee is indeed better, but in certain circumstances its nice to be able to have the warmer on for an extended period of time.

I searched through the manual and I don't see a way to do that. Do what I do and just pour into a mug then microwave ;)But yeah, fresh is of course better!

Make sure you have the grind feature turned off, no water in reservoir, and hit the "on" button. That'll turn it back on. I used to do this with my Krups coffeemaker all the time. It worked!

Just reset the button to re-heat a 2nd time. But be careful. It gets really toast. ;)

Ok. Your coffee maker is still under warranty. Return it to where you bought it and get another. If they don't cooperate, contact Mr. Coffee, online, and they will make arrangements to send you a new one. I just did this very thing because of a bad heating plate that rusted out. Best of luck!

Hmmm Margaret, My subsequent cups are just as hot as the first. It's not going off is it? Mine is set on a 2 hr timer & if I want to keep it hot after that I have to turn the knobs to: Brew & then On & the light will turn red. Otherwise, you may have an issue with it. Hope that helps. :)

DD, It has been over a year since I trashed this coffee make. The on/off does light up bright blue, I think it blinked when it needed cleaning, I know there was another button that lighted up. The other buttons also light, or the model I had did. I will say I was not happy with this unit. Hope this helps.

1. Turn off and unplug the coffeemaker. Wait for the warming plate to completely cool before cleaning. 2. Combine warm water & a few drops of dish-washing liquid. Dip a clean, soft cloth or paper towl into the mixture & wipe the warming plate until the burned-on residue is gone. 3. Apply a small amount of vinegar to a cleaning sponge if the cleaning mixture does not remove the burned-on residue. Scrub gently to remove the residue. 4. Dampen a clean cloth or paper towel with water and wipe the warming plate. 5. Allow the warming plate to air dry completely, or dry it with a towel before turning the coffeemaker on. Good Luck! 1.

No, you can't turn down the warming plate. You could unplug it so it doesn't stay on longer than an hour. But any coffee pot is like that....the warming plate stays on and the coffee gets bad.

Mine won't stay on after I brewed the 2nd pot. Any idea how to get it work again? I've unplugged it, tried all 5 settings, tried different amounts of water.... Did I get a bad Breville? I loved my old Breville.

Once it finishes I always turn mine off, but according to the manual "The Automatic Shutoff feature shuts off the keep-hot plate2 hours after brew cycle begins." See http://useandcares.hamiltonbeach.com/files/840194501.pdf

you should turn on the steamer first and then make the coffee, it is gonna be perfect for the coffee! enjoy.

I do not think so, does the red power button light stay on or go off? Mine goes off right after brewing and so does the warming plate. On my glass carafe models, the light and warming plate stays on for about an hour.

Machine defaults to 2 hours. But it doesn't cook like other coffee machines.

After the coffee maker shuts off, automatically after about two hours, I would just reheat my cup in the microwave. Quick, easy, and you can control the temperature just by figuring out how long to reheat it. Usually 1.5 minutes is more than enough. Also, I keep mine in an insulated mug and it stays hot a long time. We have switched over to Keurig and love it, but oddly enough, you still have to reheat the mug if you leave it idle for awhile. Hope this helps!

This is from the owner's manual "TO REHEAT COFFEE: Make sure unit is turned off. Press and hold I/O button for 3 seconds. This will reset the timer and keep coffee warm up to 2 hours. KEEP WARM will flash in the display and then stay constant to show this coffee reheat option is selected." You can keep extending the time by 2-hour increments all day if you choose.

Approximately 2 hours after turning on the coffee maker to start brewing it, the coffee maker will automatically turn off the warmer.

No, the two hour timer is a built in fire safety feature and cannot be turned off. Most folks, including me, would consider two hour old coffee as burnt and would toss it :-)

I don't know how it is working for you, but it takes a few minutes for the water to heat up before it will start brewing the coffee. The little switch on the side lights up if it is working. Hope this helps. If not, I recommend calling the customer support number included with your literature.
