Does this keep the coffee warmer than the standard glass french press? thanks!

Like a ceramic mug compared to a glass mug, not much difference. I own this one and a glass French press, as you know neither are insulated. If I have a second cup, I have to heat it up.

sure does! it's big enough to make three full mugs, and the stoneware keeps it hot pretty much as long as it take me to drink 'em.

Yes but not vastly so! I dare say the coffee tastes better as there are no plastic components anywhere..the coffee is delicious out of it! And as a bonus it looks great on the counter..hope this helped!

The ceramic walls are thicker then then the glass ones I have previously owned and I have noticed keeps the coffee warmer longer. It is also much stranger then the glass ones.

Yes! Much warmer. In fact, that's why we purchased this one over another glass French press. We can each have two cups of hot coffee.

Yes, a little. It's thicker than regular glass. But it's not like an insulated flask or anything. Just nice, thick, pottery.

There is a warming plate in the unit that keeps the coffee pot warm. There is no warming plate for the one-cup side. Note that I had my unit only a few months when the heating element quit working and I had to get a hole new coffee maker.

Yes, the warming plate stays on for some time and stale coffee always tastes bad, in my experience, so it's not the fault of the warming plate. I believe this is standard for all drip coffee pots these days.

I don't find it keeps drinks hot any longer at all. I even fill it with boiling hot water before I put my coffee in to let it sit for a few minutes and warm it up first. For sure, no long than a regular mug it seems. I still absolutely love mine....they are beautiful, light and clean cut looking. I don't use the lid usually either, which will help keep a little more heat in, but not much. I prefer my stainless steel insulated double walled mugs with lids for keep hots hot....but I love these glass mugs just as a regular mug.

No; it works great in that regard.I've been using the thing every day (at least once a day); mostly for cold brew, but also for hot French Press when I need an extra boost. It's been great.

I advise against it. It is double walled to insulate the coffee from the outside. This double wall design will also prevent external heat from entering the contents. If you want to use a coffee warmer, then you need a design that transfers the thermal heat from the heating element to the contents.

Yes. I don't think it's quite as hot as a traditional coffee maker with a warming plate, but it's close to it. I haven't had a problem finishing my cup while it's still warm unless I'm running around the house while drinking it. I had it in a Contigo travel mug the other day and it stayed quite hot for a long time (enough to burn my tongue a few times :)).

No, it just keeps it warm. You can't adjust the temperature, it just turns on or off. My dad uses it to keep his coffee hot on long trips. Hope this helps!

Heat + plastic = slight scent of plastic. This coffeemaker gets the water hotter than others - one of the few that actually heats to proper brewing temp - so it might be slightly worse, but all plastic coffeemakers (and anything plastic you heat in) will give off a bit of a scent.Maybe you should switch to a ceramic pour-over or glass French press - you'd avoid any contact with plastic if you're sensitive to it.

No. It does not have that option. I think the best way to get your cup warm is by putting hot water in the cup prior to your first cup of coffee.

It does have a warming plate. I don't think this dilemma is unique to this particular coffee maker, but after some time sitting on the warming plate the coffee does begin to taste burnt. However, I would recommend it despite that fact, as again, the problem isn't unique to this model/ style of coffee maker - honestly, it's been a great coffee maker for me! Hope this helps!

Yes, we just went from a 4 cup glass carafe Bodum French press to an 8 cup stainless. The 4 cup stainless was too small. We do 4 cups in the 8 cup stainless and still get the good quality coffee. And it stays hot if we have a more leisurely breakfast.

Well it's just your average stainless steel carafe... it's not thick or vacuum-sealed like a Thermos. But it keeps coffee VERY hot while the warmer is on (for an hour), and even for a little while after that. It definitely keeps it hotter than a glass carafe.

This coffee maker does a better job than most at getting water hot enough. It has a 3 or 4 step temp setting for the warmer plate. I don't know if this also effects the brewing temp or not.

yes it does as long as you keep it on. my mom keeps coffee warm most of the morning and just turns it off when coffee is gone.

not at all. It is hot when it brewes then need a thermo mug to keep it warm.There is no keep warm device.

I am not sure to tell you the truth. It is worth a shot however glass pot models have a heater unit that the pot sits on to keep the coffee hot whereas thermal pot units do not.
