Won't second cup be too strong if you let coffee sit in this carafe after pressing (which seems to be point of thermal)?

It's a little stronger - especially if you let every last drop into your cup. Works for me - I like my coffee to have "Character".

I haven't noticed any difference cup-to-cup. It did take me a few pots to find the best amount of coffee and how long to steep it. I suppose you could pour the coffee into a different container, but I have not found that necessary.

Yes. Bought the coffee maker, followed all directions and successfully brewed our first pot. The first and only cup of coffee tasted fine, but before I could drink the second, the half full carafe imploded, leaving me with a pot of silvery coffee shards. I do not recommend buying this. It is not safe.

I don't have such problem. The carafe only releases some steam upon completion of the drink, which is normal. You might want to make sure you don't put too much milk in the carafe (see the MIN and MAX lines).

It will help with both initial temp and long term. However I do not preheat the carafe but find the coffee hot and maintains its temp Hope this help

First cup is HOT w/o pre warming carafe but the remaining cup or two do not stay hot even with pre warming

Maybe you need an espresso maker. I doubt you can make the K-cups stronger than by pushing the small cup button.

I'm looking for a new coffee maker because not only does this one take forever to complete the brew, but if you pull the carafe out before it is absolutely, totally complete it starts pouring coffee on to the heating pad. I am really surprised at how others have answered this question, because their experience is completely different from ours.

No! The brewing is stopped when the plunger is pressed down. Coffee will taste fine for hours; just reheat a bit in the microwave as it will cool eventually in the Bordun.

Not if you're like me & like coffee very hot. I run a pot of water through the unit first. That get the carafe and the heating coil hot.

Theoretically, yes. You just have to open and shut the compartment without taking the old cup out. don't know how the old coffee will hold up to a second brewing though.

There should be no problem, but I do not see a good reason to do it. Not even for reheating coffee. I would never reheat coffee.

The glass and thermal carafes that I have seen would NOT be compatible. (Of course, things change, so I could be wrong today....)I saw the other response that you received, and just for a balanced argument, I love my Capresso. I have no problems with the grinding, they are evenly distributed, and the coffee strength is great.

Nope, all the internals are at the bottom which won't heat your cup but perhaps damage your cup instead. That is if it doesn't break on you first.

It's hot enough for me for the first cup, but if I wait too long before going back for more, it has cooled off a bit. I don't mind nuking it for 30 sec in the microwave vs that nasty cooked & burnt taste of coffee left on a burner.

I have never experienced that. There is a warmer under the canister that the coffee brews into-maybe that is malfunctioning? I have had this coffee maker for years. (Am actually on my second machine) the second cup has always been just as hot as the first. I have heard the company is really good about replacing the machines. Best of luck!

I don't see why you couldn't. If you sit your two cups beside each other, it would not make a mess as you switch from one cup to the other. It is really easy to keep lifting up and checking the level of the coffee in the cup because I keep doing this to see if I have poured enough water. Something I need to try is pouring a cup back through to do a "double brew" to see if I can do my normal amount of coffee grounds. With all the travel drip systems the main complaint was needing to use more grounds for normal strength and this one is the same in those regards. :) Heather

The coffee will probably be weaker since the grounds don't react the same with hot and cold water. Unfortunately this will probably break before you get much use out of it though. I got 8-10 uses from 2 of them before the reservoir gasket fell out.
