Does the coffee brew and come out hot? Or is it already cold without needing ice to cool it?

Yes... A single cup of coffee is hot as the machine pre-warms for about one minute. The carafe does not stay hot if the warmer place is not on as it is a fairly standard glass carafe. If you don't like the use of a warmer, I recommend getting a insulated coffee vacuum carafe. Alfi makes some great ones that keep coffee warm for eight hours or more. However, I have never noticed a burnt taste imparted by the hotplate on this machine.

I have only used this for coffee. I pour boiling water in it and let it sit for 10 minutes. Pour out the hot water and add the hot coffee. The coffee stays warm till the end of the day even after opening it several times. I left this home by accident one day and found the coffee still warm after 12 hours.

It is hot to my taste and I like hot but not boiling. You have to start drinking it right away thought becausethe cup isn't sitting on a warm base like pots of coffee do.

It does brew the coffee cold and I don't know how long it takes. I put it in the fridge over night. Probably takes longer than 10. Enjoy.

The carafe is not "insulated" at all, it is single-wall stainless steel; it will cool fairly quickly, dependent on the ambient air temperature in the room. Within a fairly short time, you will need to reheat the water to your desired temperature for your tea/instant coffee etc., but it does remain "warm" for quite a while and will re-heat quickly.

I wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.

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.

The problem is that the coffee pot itself is cold and chills the coffee as it is being made. The only way to get hot coffee is to put very hot water in the coffee pot and let the water sit for about 5 minutes warming the carafe -- empty the water and immediately make your coffee. The coffee will be much hotter.

There is no water that is heated after the coffee is made. The carafe is insulated so it is designed to keep the coffee warm without heating after the coffee is made.

It is not scalding hot, but hot enough. The coffee maker allows you to brew regular or strong. Of course the strength of the coffee is a function of the volume of coffee and water. It is good for our taste though.

Its not insulated at all. It will only stay hot for about the same amount of time it would in a regular coffee cup.

No, it won't. It's only a warmer, meant to hold the temperature of the liquid that is already hot. Even at that, if you don't immediately put the filled cup on the PRE-HEATED warmer, it will go cold in little time. A possible solution: as soon as the coffee is ready, pour half in the cup you'll use right away and the other half cup on the warmer. When I did that, the coffee stayed quite hot and didn't cool. It probably seems a bit of a hassle when traveling, though. Good luck.

I can't say in degrees but it got warm to the touch but not warm enough to keep a beverage in a cup warm. It has to get hot enough to penetrate a coffe/tea mug in order to keep the liquid warm. But it just didn't do that. So my coffee would get all cold & icky

I returned mine, I had problems with it . It didn't brew at all. There is a warming session right after brewing due to the stainless is may have to be hotter than a glass carafe. A heating light should stay on to warn you it is still hot to prevent injury. If not send it back and choose another.

Yes I would say the coffee is plenty hot. Main issue is how the beans feed into the grinder - it's not as automatic as it should be. You generally have to help feed the beans into the grinder.
