after auto shut-off, is the water temp ok to drink right away, or too hot &amp; you have to wait for it to cool off for a few minutes?

Water temperature comes to a boil then shuts off. It is perfect for making hot drinks with a mix or hot tea with added cream or lemon. I use it directly after a boil for hot drinks or soup. If you drink hot water, according to your taste, then perhaps it would be too hot, of course. It is the best, absolute best hot water kettle on the market today in my opinion.

Not really no. It's not insulated and like the other reviewer said, there is no keep warm feature. I have heated water at the middle to end of the heat spectrum. I'd say it's warm-cool within 10-20 minutes. I don't feel its a problem for me just because it heats up again just as quickly when I turn it back on. I'd say about three minutes,it's boiling again on the highest setting.

You can program it to keep water at a certain temperature for a certain time.I have mine set for 200 degrees for one hour, when I pour a cup it pauses in the time countdownand then continues to keep the temperature for the remainder of time. At the end of the hour it shuts off automatically.

The kettle comes up to temp and then stays there for a period of time... it automatically shuts off. You will love it!

Hi Heidi,Absolutely not! This is only for water use. The water stays hot/boiling as long as machine is plugged in....once unplugged, the time it takes to cool down depends on the amount of water in container and external room temperature. I never unplug mine, unless if on vacation... Hope this helps!

Auto shutoff is on when you use plastic lid. Just remove plastic lid then you can boil water as long as you like. Just be sure you are not away from it.

After brewing its still stays warm..you have to actually turn it off or unplug for the machine to cool off. If you mean auto shut off as in that you can pull the pot away and pour into a cup, the flow of coffee stops and then when you replace the pot it starts again.

Yes, it does get hot enough that it needs to cool a bit before you drink it. It is the perfect temperature for steeping teas, or plumping up dried veggie bits in soup mixes. Yes, it can cause burns directly out of the unit, so exercise some caution. All things considered, a great appliance for the purpose! Hope this answers your question!

Yes - it shuts off automatically after it reaches temperature, or after 1 hour if the "hold" feature is selected. I believe it also shuts off if it boils dry, but I have not put it to that test yet.

Mine is full of water and on all the time, so I have instant hot water. It would be pointless to have to wait for 5 liters of water to heat.

Yes. As soon as the water reaches a rapid boil (unsure temperature), the kettle shuts off.

No, it's simply and on/off process. I do try to control the temperature of the hot water that I heat. I try to heat to 170 degrees F for my coffee; it makes a more readily drinkable brew without overheating it. I determined that 170 degrees is the temp at which the surface of the water starts to shimmer. So, I used a timer to figure out how long a predetermined amount of water took to reach this state, and that's what I use to get the temp that I want. I've been doing this for at least six years with different brands of kettles. The time has varied from 2:00 to 2:45 min. to get about 16-20 oz. of water to the surface shimmer. I burned out my last kettle when it was accidentally switched on without notice. It didn't have an empty-pot shutoff feature. That's the main reason that I got this pot. Hope this helps.

Yes to a single hot cup of coffee, but no to the three hours..... Auto shutoff occurs after two hours and the carafe is glass.....does not stay hot without the plate on.

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. :)

It will probably over heat it. There is no automatic turn off. Its made for a larger tank then that

Mine does not shut off either even when the water is too hot. I would return it but I had discarded the box already.

it turns itself off automatically after the water boils. it boils so fast, quicker than a microwave, i love it!
