How long does the coffee stay warm, we leave our drip pot on all morning. Does this keep the coffee hot?

I do not drink coffee, but my husband does. I asked him this question, he said it stays hot about 15 minutes, then he heats it up again. He likes his coffee very hot. Hope this helps.

We've found this to be true, the coffee stays hot enough for us anyway! Hope this helps

This pot sits on top of your stove top. Your coffee won't stay hot unless your burner is on.

We have an insulating plate we put over a low flame and put the pot on it. It will stay warm "forever" but doesn't improve the taste.

If the pot is full it does stay hot. But no thermal pot is going to keep things really hot all day - especially if the pot is not full. This however is vastly superior to a thermal pot that was part of an electric drip version that I used to have.

I noticed that it stays pretty hot for several hours, I make coffee Sunday for church, make it about 10am and its still hot at 5 when I've had any left, also it doesn't get cold for a long time, 30 seconds in the microwave makes it too hot to drink. I'm real happy with this product.

Just be sure that you don't turn off the water tank heater by accident (this is the basic power switch on the side of the unit). It is to stay on at all times except if you are going away for several days etc. then follow directions in the manual. Otherwise, if the warming pad under the pot is on (you turn this on on only when brewing a pot) then you coffee stays quite hot!

Coffee stays quite hot for a couple hours. This is not an all-day thermos. It keeps my morning coffee hot until it is gone. I don't notice any decline in flavor over that time span.

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.

No-the coffee is in a thermal carafe. You put the lid on the carafe and it keeps the coffee very hot

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.

We've had our for about 4 months. It was a refurbished model. We have been very pleased. I was accustomed to pre-heating my husband's cup with hot water, so pre-heating the carafe was not a problem for me. Our carafe keeps the brew hot for about 8 hours. Believe it or not, it is still warm (not hot) after 18 hours. We've been very pleased so far. I'd keep bugging Cuisinart until you get what you paid for.

Only is hot during brewing process. The heat plate does not stay hot, since the coffee is kept in a thermal carafe, and therefore does not continue to cook the coffee. This was one of the main selling points for us. We love ours! It is amazing how long the coffee stays warm in the carafe.

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.

My coffee starts to cool down about 30 minutes after I fill it. And that is literally just starting to cool. Stays warm for a couple of hours. I hope this helps

The pot keeps coffee warm for appx.15 minutes, but can extend it some by heating pot with hot water prior to making coffee in it. One can also extend the time by keeping pot on a candle warmer for coffee/tea pots.

Our Melitta pot keeps the coffee hot for about 3 - 4 hours, which is great! The coffee stays good until you drink it up or pour any remaining out.

We bought this same model in January, and coffee percolates only to a warm first, second, third cup. Only with a small amount left in the pot, heating for over an hour, does it get hot.

Sowden recommends a candle warmer to keep the pot warm, not a hot plate, other electrical device. If you pre-heat the pot with boiling water prior to brewing -- and you should for better brewed coffee -- the pot will keep warm for roughly 20 minutes. Sowden states that the coffee is kept at an acceptable drinking temperature (70° to 85° C) for up to 20 minutes. http://www.sowdenathome.com/sowden-softbrew-coffee-frequently-asked-questions/

The Carafe does will keep the coffee hot for a few hours. I come home from work and it is lukewarm after 12 hours. Zap it in the microwave if you need to.
