\Would it make sense to get this coffee maker with the intention of warming the coffee in the morning or is the intention to drink the coffee cold?

I put the grounds in it and put cold water in it. I let it steep overnight and drink it could in the morning. It's less acidic, and you can pretty much just pour and go.

You can drink it cold by adding cold water to the concentrate or drink it hot by either adding hot water to the concentrate or by adding cold water to the concentrate and then heating the mix up. It's great hot or cold.

I agree!! I wanna buy one of these but have NO CLUE how to use the thing. I love coffee from my drip maker. I just think they look good and have heard they make better coffee. I'm also wondering if this would suit my coffee drinking habits. I get up, make 4 cups of coffee in my drip maker and drink it over a period of 2 hours. Then in the evening I make 4 more cups and drink it for 2 hours. If you make this coffee on a stove top, does it stay warm after being done for a couple of hours or no? I'm sure the electric ones would but with those you chance them going bad and not working plus I've heard they are harder to clean. Also, do I need paper filters with these? I agree!!

The coffee is perfect for you to take your first sip without burning yourself. If you want it hotter, use another cup to put the cold water into the reservoir and put a room temperature cup underneath to catch the brewed coffee.

I don't know what the temperature of the coffee mug is. I do not try to get Cold coffee warm on my warmer. When I make my coffee in the morning I put it on the warmer and it stays perfect the entire time I am drinking it. I don't think it is meant to make a cold cup of coffee hot.

Not sure what you are asking? If you feel that the coffee is not hot enough you can put it in the microwave.

I don't know anything about the model you mentioned, but YES, this model really keeps coffee hot for hours, and I would think it would keep cold drinks cold as well. I love it!

As usual, you would use cold water in preparing the coffee to perk, but I can assure you that the finished product is hot, hot, hot! Not lukewarm, or sorta hot, but truly hot!

I just bought mine yesterday and that question was a huge concern for me. I just returned a Mr. Coffee Keurig machine that I paid $80 for because I was unhappy with the water/coffee temperature. I measured the temperature of the coffee sitting on the burner of my Bunn, it was 175 degrees. I was curious about this one right away, so I measured it and it comes out very hot at 178 degrees! So adding your cold creamer, milk, cream won't cool it down to lukewarm. You'll still be able to enjoy a hot cup of coffee with this machine.

I agree that the coffee is not really hot enough. The solution is to heat the pot with hot tap water or even a hot spot before starting the coffee. However, this doesn't work if you put the coffee together the night before and want to simply push start in the morning. Than being said, slightly cooler coffee beats old and burnt any day.

Technically it should work. However, we haven't tried it yet for three reasons: 1. Leaving the grounds open to the air all night will decrease the flavor (more of a problem for real purists). 2. The coffee is better if one heats the carafe first with hot water. We're also concerned about the glass lined interior being exposed to near boiling water starting from room temperature--a few postings have commented on broken glass lining. We havent seen this frequently so it's a theoretical concern, but hey... 3. The heat will dissipate more quickly the longer the brewed coffee stands without replacing the filter housing with the insulated cap. Again, this is more of a theoretical concern, as we've found the carafe retains heat very well. We will probably try it once we get over our inertia and will post further when we do.

No; it works great in that regard. I've been using the thing every day (at least once a day); mostly for cold brew, but also for hot French Press when I need an extra boost. It's been great.

Yes you can but, it won't be hot. I returned two because the first one was missing parts,the second one the coffee was not hotand it had electrical defects.

Colonel is right. I assume it is to warm the cold pot, something to do with heat transfer. I am amazed how long the thermal pot keeps the coffee warm. The awkward pouring when not a full pot is less important to us than warm good coffee hours later.

Yes, the warming plate stays on for some time and stale coffee always tastes bad, in my experience, so it's not the fault of the warming plate. I believe this is standard for all drip coffee pots these days.

I haven't used the " ice feature". The temperature of the coffee is adjustable and can be set very hot.

Yes! As a matter of fact, I am drinking my second cup right now, 30 minutes after making the coffee. It's hot! The warmer goes off automatically after one hour.

I believe you are referencing leaving the coffee pot switched to the on position. If the coffee maker is switched off or unplugged it will be necessary to turn it on and wait for the water in the reservoir to heat up. I have never had a problem on a day-to-day basis, turning it off/unplugging it if we were going to be gone for a few days or more. I hope this addresses and answers your concerns.
