Once the hour is up on the keep warm feature, how much longer does the water stay hot? Just wonder how well insulated the carafe is. Thanks

I would add that the plastic ones might be insulated and stay hot a little longer, but do you really want to drink water boiled in plastic? If you want water to stay hot a long time, get a vacuum sealed thermos, make sure it's vacuum sealed. It will stay hot for hours. This is the best kettle I've found to date, I think you'll be satisfied with it.

I have found this can vary but for the most part with a half pot the first hour loss is about 45 deg. With a significant slower loss after that.

The carafe is stainless steel and not insulated. The digital readout shows the water temperature.

it's not well insulated. the digital read out tells you the temperature. However, the water tastes great when boiled in it, the temperature differential for each type of tea works great. My mom says that she's never had such a great tasting cup of green tea, when prepared at the proper temperature. And it's easy to re-heat the water and then turn off the heat. If you are looking for something really insulated, you need a different product.

The carafe is not "insulated" at all, it is single-wall stainless steel; it will cool fairly quickly, dependent on the ambient air temperature in the room. Within a fairly short time, you will need to reheat the water to your desired temperature for your tea/instant coffee etc., but it does remain "warm" for quite a while and will re-heat quickly.

The carafe is not insulated. It's made of rolled sheet metal and heat will dissipate quickly if not maintained by the base. I've found the digital temperature system difficult to manage. I connected it to a switchable power strip so I can turn the whole system off after each use. I don't use the keep warm feature. The water continues to heat up so I just shut it off completely using the power strip. It would be nice if it indicated when the set temperature has been reached with an audible beep or tone. Ultimately, I'm disappointed with the digital temp system. The unit continues to heat the water after the set temp is reached even though it tries to enter the warming mode.

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.

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.

Not more than 3 hours. I actually use it to retain hot water. and it stays warm until 3 hours.

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.

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.

Does it keep the water hot 24/7? or does it heat the water up when you brew a cup. and how long does it take to heat up the water?

yes, it is the shape of the carafe, it is hard to flush and when you pour coffee it drips. But all said, the invention of the insulated carafe is wonderful when you can have a good cup of coffee even two hours after brewing.

Coffee stays quite hot for a couple hours. This is not an all-day thermos. It keeps my morning coffee hot until it is gone. I don't notice any decline in flavor over that time span.

It doesn't have a warming plate, so there is no need to leave on all day. The stainless carafe keeps it hot all day

No, mine stays on for the entire brew timt.. you might reset your stay warm feature for at least an hour stay warm time

Yes, to both questions. It keeps the coffee hot for longer than an hour, but I've never actually paid attention to how much longer.

I noticed that it stays pretty hot for several hours, I make coffee Sunday for church, make it about 10am and its still hot at 5 when I've had any left, also it doesn't get cold for a long time, 30 seconds in the microwave makes it too hot to drink. I'm real happy with this product.

it depends on how long that you pre-heat the carafe with hot water .... i fill the carafe with hot tap water and then grind my coffee and heat my water .... if you do that and use boiling water to make your coffee the coffee should stay fresh and hot for at least 3 hours .... the hotter the pre-heat water is and the longer that you pre-heat then the longer your coffee will stay hot ....

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

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.
