What is the brewing temperature?? Most important question in brewing coffee and no one asks?? How hot is the water that comes into the filter basket

I'm told by coffee barista's that water should be at least 200 -F to achieve a full body flavor. Unfortunately this machine only heats water to 90-100f.

Jack -- I just found the following for the DCC-2650 "Extreme Brew" on another site where this question had been asked (product name is NOT "Brew Central" as says in the Amazon description -- check the Cusinart site and look at the product image -- indeed is "Extreme Brew")Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Cuisinart Coffeemaker. The coffeemakers brew between 180 - 190 degrees; we find that this is the optimal brewing temperature for the best flavor extraction of the coffee bean.We thank you for interest in Cuisinart

Honestly, have no idea what the actual 'temperature' is.. how would anyone know? All I know is that it is HOT as promised.

This is a picture of the unit I have. I understand the confusion. I have had this for probably 3 years now and really like it. Makes great coffee of your choice. It stays hot(but the plate is never burning hot) for hours. No, there is no way to set the water temp. I had a water line put in the wall so that it automatically fills(I don't have to put in water-I am SO lazy!!)Please contact me if you have further questions

I haven't actually measured the temperature but I just ran some hot water into my mug with a tea bag in it and it is brewing nicely. Another person reports that the temperature is plenty hot.

Just read the manual twice and don't see a mention of brew temperature. Best I can do is give you the number in this manual to customer service. 800 767-3554.

With this brewer, you do not press the coffee grounds. The hot water swirls around the grounds for about 5 minutes. The inner basket has micro holes to ensure the grounds don't seep into the coffee. This unit makes excellent coffee.

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.

The 1st thing I do every morning is turn on the Bunn. Takes about 10 min & water is as hot it would ever have been left on. By the time you grind & get stuff ready it's hot. I didn't like it being on all day either. The water you put in today makes tomorrows coffee!!

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

Bring the water to a boil then turn the heat off and pour hot water through the empty filter to rinse it and warm the flask. Dump the rinse water, add 20 g ground coffee to the filter and pour, stirring, until the coffee reaches the bottom of the "3 cup" engraving on the flask. This makes a perfect mug of coffee. The water should be initially between 190 and 200 F.

I'm not sure of the actual temperature but I am very pleased with it. This Russell Hobbs model replaced a $300 Viking Coffee Maker that was horrible even though I tried to fix it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c05Ts6ob1BE

No answer in the documentation. However, since this is a "shower head" type dispersion system, I think it is NOT as hot as it should be for optimal brewing (around 208 degrees). I have owned this product for over a year and am disappointed in its performance. In fact, I've decided to return to a Presto 12-cup percolator BECAUSE

I only brew at medium. Medium is the temperature I expect it to be. I have not tested the other temperature settings.

I was asked to answer this, but I never did figure that one out. I usually just adjust the amount of coffee or water. Perhaps this is a question for the manufacturer to answer. I do like the fact that this coffeemaker has a thermostat and never burns the coffee, thus the coffee it brews is pretty good.

The highest reading I have had is 190 F. But - that is just water alone, not being pumped though coffee grinds. The highest reading I have had while brewing coffee is 170 F - hot enough to drink, but not the ideal brewing temp for me.http://ncausa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=71

According to the booklet provided I believe it indicates the temperature of the water at the inlet is at or slightly above 190 degrees F, ideal temp for brewing coffee

Is that a trick question? Water boils at 212 deg. F. What matters with the vacuum method is that the water and ground coffee is bubbling together for enough time to extract the maximum flavor. Not the case with pour-over methods or presses.

I make a carafe full of pour over coffee every day in mine. I pour the water over the grounds at 205°F, so it probably hits the carafe at somewhere above 190°F. Works great!
