Can't seem to figure out how to set the machine to keep the coffee hot after brewing.I went to auto off and set it for 4 hours, but not working. Help?

Turn the function button to "Auto off", set the time with the hour and min buttons to an amount at 4 hours or less and return the function button to "Brew". If you unplug the unit, you will have to complete this process again as the settings only hold while the unit is plugged in.

I just hit the "on/off" button when it turns itself off. It beeps before it shuts down, so you'll be warned before it quits.

I just run in thru again without the grounds after the warmer timer shuts off. I have mine set for 4 hours..... but if your drinking good coffee you wouldnt have to re-heat, It should be already gone and making another fresh pot.

Super easy, you push the button on the left to turn the machine on. The button on the right will then start blinking, once it stops blinking it is heated and ready to use. You pop in a capsule (lift lever, there is only one way it fits, very intuitive), lower the lever and press the right (yellow) button. Manual just means that you have to press the button again to stop it. With automatic there is a fixed amount that comes out, with manual you can decide how strong/big you want your coffee to be. Make sure there is water in the reservoir before you use. Once finished, just push the left button again to switch off the machine. Super easy, you push the button on the left to turn the machine on.

Never did keep it hot - the carafe is just lightweight and only good for a few hours. Rinsing your carafe with hot water before brewing helps it say hot longer. I transfer the coffee to a great 12 cup thermos since I take it to work which will keep it hot for up to a day.

When you first plug it in, set the time of day using the hour and minute buttons. To program, push the program button and set the coffee maker for the time you want it to start. Make sure you don't set it up for PM instead of AM. When the pot is programmed, the button will be lit. If you are using ground coffee, you will also need to push the "grind off" button. If using whole beans you only need to push the program button until lit. The time will remain programmed unless you change it, so if you want coffee the same time every morning you only need to push the program button the night before.

Hmmm Margaret, My subsequent cups are just as hot as the first. It's not going off is it? Mine is set on a 2 hr timer & if I want to keep it hot after that I have to turn the knobs to: Brew & then On & the light will turn red. Otherwise, you may have an issue with it. Hope that helps. :)

Use the MODE then SEL button to select brew strength (1-3 beans) and time (little clock) you want it to brew. Make sure the current time is correct. Press Auto button until you hear a small beep. It should be ready to go off in the morning. The instructions were not clear on this feature and I just found it by trial and error. Hope it works for you - nothing worse than coming out for a nice cup of coffee and it didn't go off!

There are detailed instructions in the owner's manual. If you have lost that you can download the info from the internet. Basically you empty the water out of the reservoir, remove the filter, and fill the reservoir with white distilled vinegar and turn the machine on. When it is warmed up you start a brew cycle with no K cup in the machine and continue to run the vinegar through the machine until the "add water" light starts flashing. At that point you let the machine sit for at least 4 hours (overnight preferred) plugged in and turned on (machine must remain hot). If you have set the auto off function you need to turn that off so the machine does not turn off. Next, dump remaining vinegar out of the reservoir and fill it with fresh clean water and run that water through until all the vinegar has been flushed from the machine. Sometimes you have to take a toothpick or a straightened paper clip and gently remove deposits from the nozzle where the water is sprayed into the K cup. Then you are ready to brew coffee until it scales up again. The frequency depends on the quality of your water. We use filtered water to brew coffee and descale on average every six months. Good luck.

This coffee maker automatically shuts off when done brewing because there is no heat plate under the pot. It makes hot coffee that goes into the insulated pot and stays hot there without a hotplate. My coffee seems to be quite hot, even staying hot for several hours in the thermal pot. Maybe your machine is defective?

Well...You are welcome...and Congratulations on figuring it out...I strongly suggest pre-warming the carafe with hot water before brewing. That's the only way we get hot coffee from the carafe. ENJOY! Heck, I think I'll go make myself a cup of coffee.

You guys are forgetting the biggest point here. You do not leave coffee in the press like that, it will continue brewing and will turn nasty. When is done brewing, pour it all directly into a Thermos, pre-warmed, of course. It will stay hot for well over 6 hours. Mine has stayed hot for like 12.

The only solution to this problem that I can think of is that you may have another setting on at the same time. For example, if you've set the auto brew to brew at a specific time in the future, and you've pushed that button, telling it to brew at that future time, it won't brew if you press the brew button. You must cancel the other command for it to obey the brew command. Hope this helps. I really like this coffee maker. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had any problems.

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

I'm not sure why it turns off while brewing. Our coffee maker senses the carafe and know to not turn on the bottom warmer. So when the brew cycle is finished the machine shuts down. Also, you can only brew 8 cups in the carafe, so if you are trying to brew 12 cups, I'm not sure what happens, but it may know to shut itself off? Sorry I can't be more help. Our carafe brews the full 8 cups every time.

1- make sure you top the water tank. 2- make sure the machine is at hot temperature ( turn on the coffee brewer until it gets to #2) that way you know its hot enough3- the steam nob is adjustable you can turn it to its max or lower it.. i hope that helps, i have a youtube channel i forgot the password :(

Possibly the heater under the carafe isn't working. After you make coffee, remove the carafe and sprinkle water on the surface the carafe sits on. The drops should bubble and boil. The engineer in me made me measure the temperature of the coffee. Mine stays at 180 F and climbs to 182 F when the carafe is half empty. PT
