will the coffee stay hot for 2 hours or less?

The thermal properties of this should be considered mostly gimmick. It will certainly help during the brewing/steeping process, but most people would recommend that you pour off your coffee after the 3-5 minute brewing process is over, to avoid over-brewing.

It'll stay pretty warm for about an hour. This thing is perfect for a couple who drink their coffee in a single sitting, but not as good for entertaining. In general, French presses shouldn't be treated as carafes. But I love this thing. Worth the $$$ if you drink a lot of coffee.

No it wont stay hot for 2 hours... but honestly it never lasts that long in our house. I would agree that 1 hour is the maximum for hot coffee in this press.

The thermal carafe will not reliably keep the coffee hot for more than 2 hours. BUT, it never lasts more than 30 minutes in our house so it has never been an issue.

2 to 3 hoursThe negative is I need to pour the coffee through a sieve or coffee grinds get into the cup.

Depends on what you consider hot. I don't think it matters in the coffee level. I would say maybe a couple of hours. It does not really keep coffee that hot for more than a few hours at most. Then it is drinking temperature for me and too cool for my husband. It stays lukewarm for quite awhile.

For about 2 hours. The longer it sits there the hotter it gets. Shuts off just before the coffee starts to taste burnt.

I've been told no. And the sight glass on the back of the tank is pain to look at. It does keep your coffee warm for about 6 hours though.

Yes, definitely. It has a roast feature, and will stay cooking for 2 hours.

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.

No, it won't. It's only a warmer, meant to hold the temperature of the liquid that is already hot. Even at that, if you don't immediately put the filled cup on the PRE-HEATED warmer, it will go cold in little time. A possible solution: as soon as the coffee is ready, pour half in the cup you'll use right away and the other half cup on the warmer. When I did that, the coffee stayed quite hot and didn't cool. It probably seems a bit of a hassle when traveling, though. Good luck.

No - the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps coffee hot for a couple hours. At least that is the longest I have ever left coffee in it.

I am tempted to just answer "hours", but of course "it depends" (sorry!). I think if you just pour from a freshly brewed pot of coffee into this awesome Nissan-Thermos stainless-steel mug, you should easily get at least 2 or 3 hours of hot coffee. Personally I drink 14 oz. of coffee much faster than that! But the real trick to this double-walled, vacuum construction is to PRE-heat the cup! First, run hot water from your tap (as scalding as you want) and then pour it into the cup, close it, and set it aside while you make your coffee. I assume the vacuum (?) stainless-steel gets heated up. Then, when you dump out the hot water moments before you pour your hot coffee in, it's almost as if you have a heated thermos! Using this method before a 2 hour commute I don't even notice a decrease in temperature at all. It seems to me that it will then stay hot 4 or 5 hours or even more! Obviously I am a huge fan of this "Nissan" Thermos brand.

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.

This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it. The more hot beverage you have in the pot the longer it will stay hot/warm. I have found that if you put boiling water in the pot first to warm it up while you are making your coffee, then fill it 4/5th (two 12-cup pots), it will last hot for about 5 hours and drinkably warm for another 5. It also depends on how hot you like your coffee. My mum like it scalding hot so she doesn't like these things. Me, I am fine for about 6-7 hrs, then I need to microwave the cup to reheat it. As others have said, you can still find warm coffee in the pot the next day 18hrs later, but it is too cool for my taste. This really depends on how much coffee you put in and how fast you drink it.

It stays hot until coffee has been in long enough to cool down. Depends on several mitigating circumstances.

Coffee only lasts a couple of hours in our house so I'd say 2-3 hours at most without needing to reheat. We don't preheat the carafe so it might stay hot longer if you do. The coffee tastes the same from the first cup to the last in that time frame.

This depends on how full the pot is. Completely full will keep the coffee very hot for 3 to 4 hours and fairly hot for 5 to 6 hours. We still drink the coffee at 8 hours when it is still hot, but will not burn your mouth. When the pot is opened and no longer full, it will cool down faster. We really like our pots.

The cofee maker shuts off after two hours. The coffee is hot during this time. It shuts off before "cooking" the coffee.
