Does this coffee maker have a porcelain coated burner plate? (Had a porcelain burner plate dissolve its finish day-one Mr. Coffee)

The plate is black but is rusting. When rusted through I will buy another one. Great, great coffee. Bought it on January 13, 2014.

The plate is black and I cannot tell what is made of. I scrub mine clean with mesh covered dobie sponge and coffee maker still looks new. Great coffee maker, takes up very little room and brews great coffee.

Yes, the carafe is completely glass, except for the lid and handle, as you mention. I've had a 4 cup Mr. Coffee, which didn't last long, but had a Proctor Silex Commercial coffee maker before that. That one lasted years before something went haywire with the wiring. This one is 12 cup, so I only have to make coffee once daily. I'm totally happy with it!

No. This is a very good coffee maker for the home. It has one burner and has a 12 cup carafe.

It doesn't........like I said in my review...."guess how I know this" ha!So that can be an issue for some......I've left it on, and cooked some remaining coffee into crust......soaked in hot water.....cleaned right up...........do that once or twice, and you'll remember to turn it off.

I have the same problem! It doesn't keep the coffee hot for long. I had another model stainless steel carafe also no hot plate that kept my coffee hot much much longer. Very disappointed in thst!

The plate itself is metal. It is easy to remove and clean. Wonderful coffee maker.

Yes it does have a warming plate. It doesn't get that warm, I doubt you'd even notice it on the cups.. If you want to make sure your cup is nice and warm press the rinse button first to get a shot of hot water, tip it out then select whatever type of coffee you want. EDIT: I measured the temperature change this morning. When I first switched it on, the plate read 70'F. After 1 hour it reached 76'F.

Ok. Your coffee maker is still under warranty. Return it to where you bought it and get another. If they don't cooperate, contact Mr. Coffee, online, and they will make arrangements to send you a new one. I just did this very thing because of a bad heating plate that rusted out. Best of luck!

I wish I knew for sure. I know the home depot one does - I saw it there a few days ago and it has porcelain coated cast iron. The problem on Amazon is that people are saying it comes with stainless grates even though the description says otherwise.

no hot plate, the Caraft stays warm for hours.the coffee is great and extremely consistent.we use a small artist brush to clean the hopper shoot after each pot. the instruction manual has cleaning instructions.we're very pleased with the product.

Hi No it does not. That is one of the reasons the coffee stays so nice. The thermal does it job, and you have no burnt taste. If you put hot water in the carafe first and keep it in there for a few minutes, it will keep the coffee nice and hot for hours. Hope this helps.

No it does not and it bothers me. However, it doesn't continue to cook the coffee as traditional coffee makers do. It does not have a hot plate. The carafe keeps the coffee hot without a hot plate. I left the coffee maker on all weekend and it doesn't hurt a thing.

No they do not have a porcelain coating. Properly season the grates and they should work perfect. I have had no issues with mine grates.

Yes it does. We returned it because the warming element did not keep the coffee hot enough for our taste. We replaced it with a Krups KM730D50 which keeps the coffee very hot for up to two hours.

I just received mine, and relying on the "a thermal version that holds in heat without the need for a heating plate" statement, I assumed there was no heating plate and managed to burn (slightly) my hand. I do not understand the need for the heating plate with the thermal version. I would not have bought this coffee maker, if I had understood this was a standard feature.

Yes it has a warming plate that is active only during the Brewing process. My problem is that my Melitta is only 3 months old (February 8, 2014) and the paint/coating on the warming plate has started to chip off in the center of the warming plate. I know this is common when a coffee pot is aged but only 3 months old?
