So after the coffee is made does the machine turn down just to keep the coffee warm or does it continue to COOK it making it bitter?

It keeps the coffee quite hot. We only have the pot on for two hours. I suppose that if it were on all day, it would be bitter.

Hard to answer your question as someone stole our cord, and weve not been able to use it. I would guess though like another which was purchased elsewhere, it turns down, and just keeps it hot..

I find that it stops brewing... Then I would remove the grounds...and maybe occasionally it will kind of sound like it's trying to rebrew but actually is just reheating... I personally think you wouldn't want to leave it plug in all day or it would taste old and burnt... Hope this helps!

I'm not entirely sure. We used this urn at church. Here is what we do. Before the service (10:00) we plug it in. It perks while we are in the service, and when it is done it stops and definitely stays warm until after the service (about an hour and 10 minutes after plugging it in). We then unplug it and serve the coffee. Nobody has ever complained and everyone enjoys the coffee so I don't think it is bitter. I don't know if that answers your question but that is the best feedback I can give you.

Bitterness is from the coffee's oil being burned. The maker will stop brewing but keeping it warm for too long affects the flavor. Best bet, empty the maker into a caraffe after the initial rush for coffee.

Yes... A single cup of coffee is hot as the machine pre-warms for about one minute. The carafe does not stay hot if the warmer place is not on as it is a fairly standard glass carafe. If you don't like the use of a warmer, I recommend getting a insulated coffee vacuum carafe. Alfi makes some great ones that keep coffee warm for eight hours or more. However, I have never noticed a burnt taste imparted by the hotplate on this machine.

It takes a good 20 minutes to a half hour after it's been brewed to get good and hot. After it's first been brewed, it's not as hot as we'd like. But, it does keep the coffee hot after that until it automatically shuts off two hours after it's been brewed.

The heating plate under the coffee pot keeps the coffee warm. It has a automatic shutoff after 2 hours

I've had mine for a long time.makes a great cup of coffee ,brews at the correct brewing temp. To answer your question: Mine is an older model it stays on for an hour then shuts off after that.. with the stainless carafe the coffee stays warm if it stayed On the coffee would become cooked like most restaurant coffee that sits on the burner all day. Most people put so much cream and sugar in their coffee they don't notice or even know what fresh coffee tastes like. Hope I answered your question

There is a cup warmer platform on the top right of machine. It turns on when you power up the machine to brew, but I believe there is no temp setting for it. Takes a few minutes, but the cups get sufficiently warm. I've had this machine for 6+ months and love it.

The coffee is hot when made. Then, due to the laws of thermal dynamics, it slowly cools to an equilibrium between the coffee and the outside environment the insulated pot is in. There is no button to press that can counter these basic laws of physics.

Hot plate only heats during brewing process. It's fully automatic. No way to turn on or off. Coffee stays hot for hours due to thermo carafe. After months of constant use I give 5 stars!

This coffee maker automatically shuts off when done brewing because there is no heat plate under the pot. It makes hot coffee that goes into the insulated pot and stays hot there without a hotplate. My coffee seems to be quite hot, even staying hot for several hours in the thermal pot. Maybe your machine is defective?

After preheating the thermos I put hot coffee in it in the morning. I don't usuLly drink it all. The next day when I clean it out for the next batch the leftover coffee it's still warm.

If I am understanding your question, the machine does stop after two hours. This is not adjustable. you can turn the machine on again but it will take some time for it to warm the coffee left in the pot. I find it does cool off rather quickly, but I just pop it in the microwave....not the best as fresh brew but it is the choice with this machine.

At first, I thought I had no answer for your question, but then it occurred to me that if you just turn on the coffee maker again after two hours, the heating plate should begin a new cycle.... Maybe not, but you could give it a try. However, I would also think that your coffee is going to get kind of bitter after more than a couple hours of being heated to keep warm. If you use a microwave safe ceramic cup, that can also be a quick way to heat up your coffee at any time.

The heat element to make coffee automatically turns off when the water is all pushed over into the carafe. The keep warm plate defaults off in two hours but can be programmed for less or more, not to exceed 4 hours.

Yes, it does not turn itself off keeps the coffee hot till you turn it off. I like it like that, but you do have to remember to turn it off when the pot is empty! Hope this helps. I've had it for several months now and it's a great basic pot. I'm very happy with it.

I was asked to answer this, but I never did figure that one out. I usually just adjust the amount of coffee or water. Perhaps this is a question for the manufacturer to answer. I do like the fact that this coffeemaker has a thermostat and never burns the coffee, thus the coffee it brews is pretty good.

My guess is probably the tea doesn't get bitter. I'm not a tea drinker, but my coffee gets no more stronger or bitter because the grounds are no longer steeping once pressed down.

It's hot, you don't need to heat up the freshly brewed coffee in the microwave....one hint, when you pour the coffee into your cup, lift the pot up high...otherwise it drips....I'm very happy with mine..and I love the colors.
