How hot does your coffee get with this machine? Mine is only getting to 170 degrees. Debating if it needs to go back.

Send it back... We put cold creamer in ours and it still burns our tongue if we don't sip it at first.

I only keep heating plate under pot on Medium and it is very hot. Did not measure it but it is hot enough for us. You could always raise the temperature on knob to high (if you haven't already).

Mine gets plenty hot. I've never put a thermometer to it but it's every bit as hot as Starbucks.

Not sure my answer went through from cel phone. I dont have a working food thermometer, so I can't tell you what temperature it reaches. However, it has always seemed plenty hot, any hotter and it would kill the taste. So I've never thought to check the temp. I've found it to be a perfectly good coffee maker, pretty efficiently serving up a strong cup of hot coffee which I take black. It 's not as good as some of the jura capresso barrista complexes that do everything, but its not $1000 either.

I bought one 2 weeks ago and am very disappointed. It only produces warm coffee even on the hot setting. It is not even warm enough to drink black. The heater simply does not retain any heat in the carafe. We have to put two cups in the microwave for 70 seconds. I'm going to send it back.

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

How are there so many conflicting answer on how hot it is? I think the hottest part of the brew should be the spray over the coffee. After that the burner at high should maintain that temperature.THat way your coffee is hottest just brewed, like it is in any quality coffee house.That is how the most flavor is received from the coffee grind.

Mine doesn't get very hot either. I started on M and didn't think it was very hot so I turned it to H and didn't notice any difference. Just checked the temperature on H is 150 degrees F.

Either this model has a flaw, or they have deliberately made it with a lower-temp limit. My old Cuisinart 12-cup made it plenty hot on the H setting. Now, it's barely hot enough to retain heat for more than 15 minutes -- on High -- and that's before I put the creamer in. I have had to re-heat in the microwave on cool mornings.

I made a latte this morning and with an instant read thermometer it came back at 146 degrees F. That was after the cup was warmed with boiling water as well. Not sure what a Lungo or espresso would come back as.

my coffee maker would only get up to 140. after a month it got worse. this coffee maker is not worth buying.i threw it out and got a percalator coffee maker and now have real hot coffee.

There is no heating element to keep the coffee hot once brewed. It has a carafe that keeps the coffee hot. I have had a cup two hours after brewing and it is still hot. The water in the brewing process is heated to about 200 degrees. Highly recommend this product.

I just purchased this product and have the same issue with the carafe not keeping the coffee hot. Is my carafe defective? Some users state it keeps their coffee piping hot for up to 3-4 hours, and I find after an hour, the coffee is barely warm.

Not sure, I returned the unit as I could not get coffee temperature hot enough.

i agree with you, it might be hot at first, then it cools down much to fast, they need to make the temp higher on these machines. coffee should be enjoyed hot over time, and not chugged down like a shot and a beer before nascar party.

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.

I do pour over coffee. The water temperature is around 200 degrees at time of brewing. It must be the thermos. Unless I'm missing something else. Do you drink it straight from the thermos or pour into a cup?

I have no problem at all the temp of my coffee...as a matter of fact, it's so hot that it's hard to take that first sip without cooling it down first and I do like my coffee hot.

I had that problem the first time I used mine, cause the coffee did not stay hot. I then put the lever down when not in use and it keep the coffee hotter. Its hard to explain but on the lever that keeps the pump up, just flip that thing back and the pump will go back down in the closed position again. Sorry hard to explain, hope that helps.

I've never had that problem. We've had the coffee maker for about 60 days, the coffee has always been hot, at the perfect temperature. Michael

It will not get to 190 ever. It'll may espresso at 175, cappuccinos are more like 165/160 because the milk cools down the coffee. We love our machine though.

Seems your warming plate is busted. I'd get a new one. (Mine keeps it plenty hot after being frequently used. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't have an automatic shut-off switch, so you if you forget about it, the coffee can potentially evaporate and scorch).

I never once had an issue with the temperature being low. If anything, I've always added a little water too cool it off. I don't care for scalding hot coffee though.

Sounds like you need to return it. There is some steam but it doesn't affect my coffee. I love the machine by the way. I've started using organic half and half and buying more expensive cafe. I've recently tried/enjoyed espresso from trader Joe's & juan valdez.

That is so odd. I have 4 of these and I make lattes and milk based Drinks daily for the past 4 years and haven't been sick once. The only downside to these coffee holders is that if you beat the brew up to over 130 degrees you will NEVER be able to actually drink it. 2 days later it is hot as when you put he drink in. A good characteristic in my opinion I just beat to 120. These are great cups and I even have a set for back up when I leave it at work. Not sure why they would say that but I really ever read the directions.
