Is this a cold or hot brew machine?

This iced tea brewer is a hot brew machine. You do use ice in the pitcher while brewing so once the tea is brewed, the ice cools it down.

If you are standing right at the unit when you turn the power on it starts a raspy noise. That is the heater heating up the water. Kind of like when you boil water, it's the water bubbles. Then when you press the button to start the brew process there is a whiring sound that is not loud at all. If you step away from the machine you can barely hear it. When I step back about 8 feet I hardly hear it at all. From the time you turn the power on until you can sip the coffee it's a little less than 3 minutes. I feel that the coffee is just right temperature wise. I'm glad i bought mine. It is so easy to use and there is no mess.

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.

As usual, you would use cold water in preparing the coffee to perk, but I can assure you that the finished product is hot, hot, hot! Not lukewarm, or sorta hot, but truly hot!

The brewed coffee does come out hot (over ice) but it brews stronger than brewing normal hot coffee. The ice is somewhat melted during the process but the instructions do tell you how much coffee to add, how much water to add, and how much ice to add. So the end result is a iced coffee that tastes good. You can also use more or less coffee grounds (up to a certain max fill line) if you choose but I usually fill it up to the max fill line and have no problems.

To be honest I have never checked. It would be internal though, as there is not one visible on the outside. The cold is quite refreshing, much colder than tap water set on the coldest setting. And hot is steaming, like a coffee.

I researched the brew temp on this machine prior to buying but can not tell you exactly where I found it.

Yes the coffee is hot enough, if it has an iced tea feature I've never used it.

It is pretty noisy. I have returned a second one- stopped brewing all together.

This is a traditional steam driven espresso machine. It is not a pod coffee maker.

I measured mine with a thermometer. Right after the "on" light comes on, the brew is a very hot 195 degrees F.

Mine made cool coffee. The water didn't heat enough to extract the coffee properly. That's why I returned it.

I don't have a clue. I purchased mine in 2014. It's working but I have a sense that the coffee I brew is quite hot enough. I'll have to pay closer attention.

You receive a hot cup of coffee. My wife uses it to just brew hot water for tea. So far it has been a good purchase.

The single brew cups are hot enough when brewed, but not too hot. They do cool off faster than the carafe does. Example -- if you brew 2 cups for yourself at the same time, the second one will be tepid by the time you get to it.
