does it automatically cut off the heating element when you remove the carafe?

No, you must flip the switch, a very minor inconvenience for such great coffee

I don't know. There is no heating element associated with the carafe - only with heating the water to brew. I flip the switch off when it's done brewing.
1151233
Yes, it does. When you remove the carafe, that white button at the bottom of the unit pops out & shuts off the brewing and the heat.

It doesn't even really have a heating element. Therre is a white button the carafe must push in so it will brew.

The heating element itself shuts off at the end of cooking, however general power does not auto shutoff. A buzzer sounds when the eggs are done and you must unplug the cord to stop the buzzer.

Yes, it shuts off automatically when the water in the reservoir is gone. The water is hot, brews excellent coffee, and usually I use a mug, approx. 8-12 oz. Less water is possible.

The coffee maker has a heating element inside it, but I always turn off the coffee maker the second it's done brewing because otherwise the coffee tastes burnt -- terrible. I don't know if you're turning off the machine but if so there's no mechanism for the coffee to stay hot -- the only mechanism is that heating element in the coffee container, which makes the coffee taste bad! Not a good design.

No, while brewing, it gurgles, but there is no beep when it stops . . . the gurgling just stops. There is no 'keep warm' feature. The carafe is like a thermos bottle that can keep the coffee hot for an extended period of time. The advantage is that the coffee never gets a 'burned' taste as with other coffee makers and if the coffee is not hot enough after several hours, you can microwave your cup/mug without the burned flavor.

yes, the auto shut off feature is on my kettle and works always. this is a great kettle.

Yes it boils the water and auto turns off. The kettle comes off the part that is plugged in when done.

No. If brewing on the single-serve setting, the large carafe heating element is off. So if you plan to use both sides on a given morning, you will need to remember to use the single side first. Or learn to enjoy luke-warm coffee.

Yes, it does. The problem though is that it does not turn itself off and so the coffee while staying hot gets old tasting because it is heated continuously. I purchased another brand that turns itself off. I actually like it better. I also found that after about a year, my Mr. Coffee's tended to not work anymore.

I don't believe it automatically shuts off but can't say for sure because since it only makes 1 cup, I shut it off as soon as I pick up the cup. At this price I wouldn't expect it to be very automatic.

I don't know. We empty the coffee carafe into another carafe we use at the table.

Yes, you can pull the carafe out before it's finished brewing and pour a cup, then replace it to finish- it will stop the flow of coffee until the carafe is back in place. Great feature for the impatient.

When you remove the carafe from the unit while coffee is brewing it stops. When you replace the carafe the brew cycle continues.

Yes, when the water reaches the boiling point the switch that turns it on automatically shuts off.

Yes, it does....It shuts off automically!! You usually feel the heat on the second round!!

NO, but It holds heat pretty well. If you let it sit too long it tends to "burn" the coffee. In my opinion, a little faster than an a glass carafe.

No, the heating element is actually inside the carafe and cannot easily be touched.
