Is the coffee hot enough?

I drink my coffee black, so it is hot enough for me. If you add cold milk or cream, you might want to zap it for a few seconds in the microwave.

Yes! I fill it with cold tap water and it still comes out hot enough. Almost "McDonalds" hot. lol

Yes initially, but I transfer it to a regular thermos container because the thermal carafe doesn't keep it as hot.

Yes, plenty. I've had the machine for years and it still works perfectly, however, the writing on the buttons wore off within the first year, which is un-appealing, so I've had to refresh myself as to how to brew coffee on a number of occasions! (Via online instructions)

Personally, I do not think it is, especially if you add milk or cream. I use my Keurig when I want hot coffee and use this when I want to make a pot to use for iced coffee.

It's hot enough for me for the first cup, but if I wait too long before going back for more, it has cooled off a bit. I don't mind nuking it for 30 sec in the microwave vs that nasty cooked & burnt taste of coffee left on a burner.

yes it is perfect. there is a button for making the water hotter especially when you make a 4 cup batch. I use it even when I make 6 cups. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for awhile too.

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.

the coffee isn't as hot as I'd like but the coffee tastes fine. I have a friend with an older Sunbeam coffee pot (I think) that makes extremely hot coffee. I wish I had hers!

The water will be somewhat hot; however the heat dissipates quickly once opened the next day. At least this is my experience with coffee.

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.

Answer here...What is "real hot" to you? The temperature is about the same as the coffee from my Mr. Coffee machine.

Hot enough to make a great cup of coffee; I wish it did not leak as much as it does!

Its not very hot at first. Hot but not very hot. The coffee will cool quick when poured into a cold mug.

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.

No. It is pretty much "warm/hot" ish, i'd say. It mixes with a hot espresso and is immediately drinkable.

I like hotter coffee also. My solution is to run a cup of plain hot water from the machine into my cup to preheat it. I pour this out and then make my regular brew cycle. Seems to work for me.

Hello Victor, My experience has been that the coffee will stay hot enough to last through a simple meal. After that it becomes tepid rather quickly. Don't expect even a full pot to stay hot from one meal to the next. My stained thirty year old is far superior to this one.

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.

My coffee gets hot enough for me (it will burn my tongue) but I do not know the temp.

I don't recall, but the coffee is sufficiently hot. I hope that helps some.

True! I have to heat the coffee after it poured! I use the hot water steamer to make instant coffee, which is very hot!

The coffee is very hot, but I have not used a thermometer to actually measure the temp. As for the taste it brews an excellent pot of coffee on the 'strong' setting. I have not used the maker on normal setting. Bill
